Product details
Overview
P1017NSN5HFB from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a single-core QorIQ communications processor based on the Power Architecture e500-v2 core, operating at up to 800 MHz with 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data cache per core, 256 KB L2 cache with ECC, and integrated dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers supporting IEEE 1588 time-stamping and MACSec. It targets enterprise WLAN gateways and fixed routers requiring deterministic packet processing and hardware-accelerated security.
For engineers reviewing the P1017NSN5HFB datasheet, P1017NSN5HFB pinout, P1017NSN5HFB application, or P1017NSN5HFB equivalent, key selection considerations include its single-core e500-v2 architecture, DDR3/DDR3L memory controller support, SEC 4.2 cryptographic engine with AES/3DES/RSA acceleration, PCIe v1.1 connectivity, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) for embedded networking deployments.
Technical Context
The P1017NSN5HFB implements a dedicated QorIQ Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) front-end for classification, parsing, and distribution-enabling offload of high-touch packet forwarding tasks from the CPU. Its Frame Manager and Queue Manager work in concert with the dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs and integrated security engine to deliver line-rate IPsec/SSL processing without software intervention.
It features a coherent system bus connecting the e500-v2 core, L2 cache, DDR3/DDR3L memory controller, and peripheral interconnect (eLBC, I²C, SPI, DUART), while four SerDes lanes are multiplexed across two SGMII ports and three PCIe controllers-supporting flexible interface allocation but not simultaneous full utilization of all high-speed links.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the P1017NSN5HFB?
The P1017NSN5HFB operates at a maximum core frequency of 800 MHz in single-core mode. This frequency is fully supported across its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) and is validated with DDR3L memory at 800 MT/s. The P1017NSN5HFB does not support dual-core operation-only the P1023 variant offers dual-core capability at 500 MHz.
Does the P1017NSN5HFB support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol?
Yes, the P1017NSN5HFB includes hardware-level IEEE 1588 timestamping support in both Gigabit Ethernet MACs. It inserts and extracts precise timestamps at the MAC layer with sub-microsecond resolution, enabling synchronization accuracy required for industrial Ethernet and TSN-ready deployments without software intervention.
What cryptographic algorithms are accelerated by the SEC 4.2 engine in the P1017NSN5HFB?
The P1017NSN5HFB integrates the SEC 4.2 security engine, which accelerates AES-128/256, 3DES, RSA up to 2048-bit, SHA-1/256, HMAC-SHA, ARC4, SNOW 3G, and FIPS-certified deterministic random number generation. These algorithms enable single-pass IPsec and SSL/TLS processing directly within the P1017NSN5HFB data path.
Can the P1017NSN5HFB's L2 cache be used as general-purpose SRAM?
Yes, the 256 KB L2 cache in the P1017NSN5HFB is configurable as SRAM or stashing memory via configuration registers. This allows allocation of dedicated, low-latency memory for real-time buffers, cryptographic key storage, or frame descriptors-bypassing cache coherency overhead while retaining on-die bandwidth advantages.
What package type and pin count does the P1017NSN5HFB use?
The P1017NSN5HFB uses a 457-pin wirebond power-BGA (TEPBGA1) package measuring 27 mm × 27 mm with 1.0 mm pitch. It includes thermal lid and is RoHS-compliant. Pinout documentation is provided in the official NXP document QORIQP1023FS REV 1, which covers both P1017 and P1023 variants due to shared package and signal mapping.
