The QorIQ P2 platform series, which includes the P2020 and P2010 communications processors, delivers high single-threaded performance per watt for a wide variety of applications in the networking, telecom, military and industrial markets. The series delivers dual- and single-core frequencies up to 1.2 GHz on a 45 nm technology low-power platform.

The QorIQ P2 series consists of dual- and single-core products that are pin-compatible with the QorIQ P1 platform products, offering a five interchangeable cost-effective solutions. Scaling from a single core at 533 MHz (P1011) to a dual core at 1.2 GHz (P2020), the two QorIQ platforms together deliver an impressive 4.5x aggregate frequency range within the same pinout.

The P2020 and P2010 communications processors both have an advanced set of features for ease of use. The integrated security engine supports common security algorithms used in networking and wireless applications, such as IPsec and Kasumi. The 64-bit memory controller offers future-proofing against memory technology migration with support for both DDR2 and DDR3. It also supports error correction codes, a baseline requirement for any high-reliability system. Other memory types such as flash are supported through the 16-bit local bus, USB, SD/MMC and serial peripheral interface (SPI).
