QorlQLS1ProcessorFamily
QorIQ LS1024A
Communications Processor
Optimized for low-end applications requiring
enterprise-class performance in a cost-effective
envelope
Overview
TheQorIQLS1024Asystem-on-chip(SoC)communicationsprocessordeliversvastly
increasedprocessingpowerandVoIPdensity,wirespeedhandlingofsmallpackets,DRM-
compliantsecurityandenterprise-gradeVPNandSSLthroughput.Theprocessorallows
considerablesystemcostsavingsduetotheintegrationofnewfeaturesthatareemerging
intheCPEmarket.InadditiontoprovidinghighthroughputIPsecandSSLCPUoffload,the
QorIQLS1024Acommunicationsprocessor’sonboardsecurityengineincludesapowerful
DeepPacketInspectionenginewithGZIPdecompressioncapability.Thedevice’sthree
EthernetinterfacesallowforDMZconfigurationprovidingfurthersecurityforSOHO/SMB
routersandgateways.

Core Complex
TheQorIQLS1024Acommunications
processorleveragestheenergyefficiency
ofARM®technologyandalow-power
designprocesstoachievethelowestpower
consumptioninitsclass(<2Wtypicalat
900MHz).Inordertoprovideperformance
scalabilityandmaximumflexibility,the
LS1024Acommunicationsprocessor
includesdualARMCortex®-A9coresranging
from650MHzto1.2GHzdeliveringupto
6000DMIPS.
System Interfaces
and Networking
TheQorIQLS1024Acommunications
processorincludesI/Ointerfacesin
conjunctionwiththeinnovativemultilayer
busarchitecturethatallowsnon-blocking
concurrenttransactionsacrossalldata
interfaces,thusminimizingon-chippacket
processinglatency.TheSATA-2interfaces,
alongwiththepowerfulprocessingengine
andintegratedRAIDcontroller,provide
anidealsolutionfornetworkattached
storageapplications.
