Layerscape® 1020A and 1022A Dual-

Core Processors

LS1020A

Last Updated: Jan 17, 2022

The LS1 family, which includes the LS1020A and LS1022A communications processors, is

built on Layerscape architecture, the industry’s first software-aware, core-agnostic networking

architecture to offer unprecedented efficiency and scale.

Members of the value-performance tier, the LS1020A and LS1022A processors provide

extensive integration and power efficiency for fanless, small form factor enterprise and consumer

networking applications. Incorporating dual Arm

Cortex

-A7 cores running up to 1.2 GHz, the

LS1020A and LS1022A processors deliver pre-silicon CoreMark

performance of over 7,000,

as well as virtualization support, advanced security features and broadest array of high-speed

interconnects and optimized peripheral features ever offered in a sub-3 W processor (LS1022A

processor is sub-2W typical).

The LS1020A and LS1022A processors features support for multiple industrial protocols,

DDR3L/4 running up to 1600 MHz, integrated hardware-based security engine and QUICC

Engine

. and ECC protection on both L1 and L2 caches. The LS1020 and LS1022A processors

are pin- and software-compatible with the LS1021A processor.

Layerscape processors are part of NXP's EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
