Product details
Overview
P2010NXE2KHC 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, and an optional SEC 3.1 security engine - deployed in telecom linecards and industrial control plane systems.
For engineers reviewing the P2010NXE2KHC datasheet, P2010NXE2KHC pinout, P2010NXE2KHC application, or P2010NXE2KHC equivalent, key selection criteria 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 SerDes/PCIe/RapidIO I/O for deterministic control-plane processing.
Technical Context
The P2010NXE2KHC implements a coherent system bus architecture with a dual-issue, out-of-order e500-v2 core, 36-bit physical addressing, and double-precision floating-point support. 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 delivered via three enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers with TCP/IP acceleration, lossless flow control, and RGMII/SGMII/TBI interfaces, plus four SerDes lanes multiplexed across PCIe v1.1, Serial RapidIO 1.2, and SGMII - enabling direct DSP interconnect and backplane redundancy in LTE/WiMAX channel cards.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2020NXE2KHC | Dual-core e500-v2 at 1.2 GHz; identical pinout, same L2 cache and I/O, but adds SMP capability | Better suited for asymmetric workloads splitting control + data plane tasks across cores | Select when parallel task partitioning justifies added complexity and power budget |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the P2010NXE2KHC?
The P2010NXE2KHC operates at a maximum core frequency of 1.2 GHz. This is achieved using the e500-v2 Power Architecture core fabricated on a 45 nm low-power process. The 1.2 GHz rating is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and is specified under typical voltage and thermal conditions per the QP20XXFS REV 5 datasheet. P2010NXE2KHC maintains this frequency without throttling in properly heatsinked industrial deployments.
Does the P2010NXE2KHC support DDR3 memory?
Yes, the P2010NXE2KHC supports both DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM through its 64-bit memory controller with ECC. The controller is backward-compatible with DDR2-800 and forward-compatible with DDR3-1066, allowing migration to higher-density, lower-power memory technologies. P2010NXE2KHC requires separate termination and VREF configuration for DDR3 mode, as detailed in Section 7.2 of the QP20XXFS reference manual.
Is the security engine included in every P2010NXE2KHC device?
No, the SEC 3.1 security engine is optional and enabled via boot configuration fuses. P2010NXE2KHC devices shipped without SEC firmware or fuse programming do not expose cryptographic acceleration hardware. To use AES, RSA, or SHA acceleration, the SEC must be explicitly enabled during manufacturing setup, and the P2010NXE2KHC must be paired with compatible software drivers such as the NXP QorIQ SDK Security Framework.
What is the package type and pin count of the P2010NXE2KHC?
The P2010NXE2KHC uses a 689-pin wirebond power-BGA (TEPBGA2) package measuring 27 mm × 27 mm with 1.0 mm pitch. This package supports thermal dissipation up to 12 W TDP and includes dedicated power/ground ball arrays for DDR, SerDes, and core domains. Pin compatibility with P2020NXE2KHC allows shared PCB layouts across single- and dual-core variants.
Can the P2010NXE2KHC run legacy PowerQUICC software?
Yes, the P2010NXE2KHC is fully software compatible with PowerQUICC III processors due to shared e500 core architecture, memory map, and peripheral register layout. Existing VxWorks, Linux, or Enea OSE applications targeting MPC85xx can be ported to P2010NXE2KHC with minimal BSP updates. P2010NXE2KHC retains OpenPIC-compliant interrupt controller and identical DUART/I2C/USB register definitions, ensuring binary compatibility for many control-plane firmware images.
