The P2020 and P2010 flexible I/O, high performance and efficient power enable it to address varied markets from industrial control to high-end telecom applications. High-end industrial applications benefit from its ability to do control and dataplane processing within a single chip. The processor also supports IEEE 1588 for precision time synchronization. Networking applications like line card controllers, routers and wireless access points benefit from its high speed interfaces like Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express and USB 2.0. Higher levels of connectivity eliminate the need for external bridge chips, thereby reducing BOM costs and board real estate requirements. Telecom applications utilize Serial rapid IO as the connection interface for Layer 1 processing. The integrated security block enables support for DES, triple DES, AES, and other advanced levels of encryption.
