NXP Launches Multi-Standard Programmable Family of System on Chip Solutions
The New Layerscape SoC family delivers flexible and simultaneous support for 5G, Wi-Fi and Wireline Systems on a single architecture for enterprise, home and Carrier applications
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 22, 2017 –
The first product in the family, the LA1575, solves a multi-standard problem with simultaneous implementation of 802.11ax, 802.11ad, and millimeter wave (mmWave) standards on a single SoC device. Initial targets include enterprise and high-end home gateway markets. The LA1575 integrates a fully programmable PHY and MAC with acceleration technologies for 5G, Wi-Fi and wireline protocols that allow updates, changes, and new features to be added via simple software upgrades.
OEMs can be first to market with the LA1575 using the pre-ratified version of standards while ensuring the ability to update their end products quickly via software to final release versions with differentiated features.
"A fully programmable PHY and MAC is game-changing technology that will fundamentally impact the way new standards are implemented," said
"Extending NXP's 64-bit Arm® portfolio by including physical- and MAC-layer processing, the LA1575 builds upon the company's deep experience in processing, wireless technologies, and networking infrastructure," said Jag Bolaria, principal analyst for embedded at
The LA1575 provides the optimum balance of programmable acceleration with dynamic PHY and MAC resource allocation across protocols in systems complying with power over Ethernet solution requirements. It builds on the joint technology announcement and demonstration at
Key elements of the LA1575 SoC:
- Simultaneous multi-standard support for 5G, Wi-Fi (802.11 ac and 802.11ax) and Wireline systems
- Dynamic PHY and MAC resource allocation at run-time across protocols
- Rapid deployment of evolving standards for mmWave, 802.11ax, 802.11ad and wireline
- Comparable performance and efficiency to hard-wired solutions
- Full software implementation allowing customer-differentiated feature sets and flexibility
- Leverages extensive third party ecosystem providers and the rich library base for Layerscape and Arm 64-bit cores
- Powered by the latest acceleration and secure platform technologies, packet offload and physical layer processing
- Samples available
