Product details
Overview
P2010NSN2KHC from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a single-core QorIQ communications processor based on the Power Architecture e500-v2 core, operating at 1.2 GHz with 512 KB L2 cache and 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controller supporting ECC. It integrates three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers with IEEE 1588 timestamping, dual Serial RapidIO, PCIe, SerDes, USB 2.0, SD/MMC, and optional SEC 3.1 security engine. It targets control plane processing in telecom linecards and industrial networking equipment.
For engineers reviewing the P2010NSN2KHC datasheet, P2010NSN2KHC pinout, P2010NSN2KHC application, or P2010NSN2KHC equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.2 GHz single-threaded performance, -40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature rating, 689-pin TEPBGA2 package, e500-v2 core compatibility with PowerQUICC software, and integrated hardware acceleration for IPsec/SSL via SEC 3.1.
Technical Context
The P2010NSN2KHC implements a coherent system bus architecture with an out-of-order, dual-issue e500-v2 core delivering high single-threaded throughput per watt. Its memory subsystem includes a 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 controller with ECC and configurable 512 KB L2 cache usable as SRAM or stashing memory.
Networking functionality is implemented through three enhanced Gigabit Ethernet MACs with TCP/IP offload, IEEE 1588 support, and lossless flow control, plus four SerDes lanes multiplexed across PCIe, SRIO, SGMII, and TDM interfaces - all managed by a programmable interrupt controller compliant with OpenPIC.

Does the P2010NSN2KHC support DDR3 memory, and what is the width and ECC capability?
Yes, the P2010NSN2KHC supports both DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM via its 64-bit memory controller with full ECC protection. The controller implements 8-bit ECC per 64-bit data word, meeting JEDEC standards for single-bit error correction and double-bit error detection. This capability is mandatory for high-reliability telecom and defense applications using the P2010NSN2KHC.
Is the P2010NSN2KHC pin-compatible with other QorIQ processors?
Yes, the P2010NSN2KHC is pin-compatible with the P2020NSN2KHC and shares the same 689-pin TEPBGA2 package and signal mapping. It is also pin-compatible with the P1011 and P1020 families in the QorIQ value-performance tier, enabling board-level reuse across multiple performance points without layout changes.
What security algorithms does the optional SEC 3.1 engine in the P2010NSN2KHC accelerate?
The optional Security Engine 3.1 (SEC 3.1) in the P2010NSN2KHC accelerates AES (128/192/256), 3DES, RSA/ECC key generation and signing, SHA-1/SHA-256, MD5, ARC4, Kasumi, Snow 3G, and FIPS-certified deterministic random number generation. It performs single-pass encryption and authentication for IPsec, SSL/TLS, SRTP, and WiMAX protocols - all verified in the QP20XXFS documentation.
Which Ethernet features are supported by the three MACs in the P2010NSN2KHC?
The P2010NSN2KHC integrates three enhanced Gigabit Ethernet MACs supporting RGMII, MII, TBI, RvMII, and SGMII PHY interfaces. Each MAC provides IEEE 1588-2008 hardware timestamping, TCP/IP segmentation offload, IPv4/IPv6 packet classification, and lossless flow control - features confirmed in the QorIQ P2010 Reference Manual and used in telecom timing synchronization applications.
