QorIQ P Series Processors
QorIQ P1016 and P1025
Communications Processors
The QorIQ P1 family, which includes the P1016 and P1025 communications processors,
offers the value of smart integration and efficient power for a wide variety of applications in the
networking, telecom, defense and industrial markets. Based on 45 nm technology for low-power
implementation, the P1016 and P1025 processors provide single- and dualcore options from
400–667 MHz performance range, together with advanced security and a rich set of interfaces.
The P1016 and P1025 processors are perfectly suited for multiservice gateways, Ethernet switch
controllers, wireless LAN access points and high-performance general-purpose control processor
applications with tight thermal constraints.
The P1016 and P1025 processors are pin compatible with the P1015 and P1024 products and
software compatible with the P1011/P1020 and P2010/P2020, offering a six-chip range of cost-
effective solutions. Scaling from a single core at 400 MHz (P1016) to a dual core at 1.2 GHz per
core (P2020), together these QorIQ platforms deliver an impressive 4.5x aggregate frequency range.
The P1016 and P1025 platforms both feature the e500 Power Architecture core and peripherals,
and are fully software compatible with existing PowerQUICC processors. This enables customers
to create a product with multiple performance points from a single board design. The P1025
dual-core processor supports both symmetric and asymmetric processing, enabling customers
to further optimize their design with the same applications running across each core or serialize
their application using the cores for different processing tasks.

Networking Elements
The P1016 and P1025 processors have an
advanced set of features for ease of use.
The 256 KB L2 cache offers incremental
configuration to partition the cache between
the two cores or to configure it as SRAM or
stashing memory. The integrated security
engine supports the cryptographic algorithms
commonly used in IPsec, SSL, 3GPP and
other networking and wireless security
protocols. The memory controller offers
future-proofing against memory technology
migration with support for DDR3. It also
supports error correction codes, a baseline
requirement for any high-reliability system.
These processors integrate a rich set of
interfaces, including a multiprotocol SerDes,
Gigabit Ethernet, QUICC Engine module, PCI
Express

and USB. The three 10/100/1000
Ethernet ports support advanced packet
parsing, flow control and quality of service
features, as well as IEEE
®
1588 time-
stamping—all ideal for managing the data
path traffic between the LAN and WAN
interface. The QUICC Engine module provides
UTOPIA-L2, TDM and 10/100 Ethernet
interfaces as well as a programmable RISC
engine to offload protocol termination from the
main CPU cores. Four SerDes lanes can be
portioned across two PCI Express ports and
two SGMII ports. The PCI Express ports can
provide connectivity to IEEE 802.11n radio
cards for wireless support. USB or SD/MMC
interfaces can be used to support local
storage. Multiple memory connection ports
are available, including the 16-bit local bus, a
USB 2.0 controller, enhanced secure digital
host controller (eSDHC) and serial peripheral
interface (SPI).
in power-sensitive defense and industrial
applications and outdoor environments less
protected from the elements. The devices’
primary target applications are networking
and telecom linecards.
A multiservice router or business gateway
requires a combination of high performance
and a rich set of peripherals to support the
data path throughputs and required system
functionality. The P1016 and P1025 devices
offer a scalable platform to develop a range
of products that can support the same
feature set. The QUICC Engine module, as
well as integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet
controllers with classification and QoS
capabilities, are ideal for managing the data
path traffic between the LAN and WAN
interface. PCI Express ports can provide
connectivity to IEEE 802.11n radio cards for
wireless support, TDM for legacy phone
interfaces to support voice and the USB or
SD/MMC interfaces can be used to support
local storage. The integrated security engine
can provide encrypted secure communications
for remote users with VPN support.
