66AK2H06DAAW24

Overview

The Texas Instruments 66AK2H06DAAW24 is a multicore System-on-Chip (SoC) based on the KeyStone II architecture. It integrates four TMS320C66x DSP cores operating at up to 1.2 GHz and two ARM Cortex-A15 processors running at up to 1.4 GHz. The device features 6 MB of shared MSMC SRAM, 4 MB of shared ARM L2 cache, and 4 MB of shared C66x L2 cache. It includes a Network Coprocessor with a five-port Ethernet switch, packet accelerator, and security accelerator. The component is housed in a 1517-pin FCBGA package and supports an extended case temperature range from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Six-core hybrid architecture combining four C66x DSPs and two ARM Cortex-A15 processors
• Integrated Network Coprocessor supporting IPsec, SSL/TLS, and five-port Gigabit Ethernet switching
• Multicore Navigator with 16k hardware queues and Packet DMA for zero-overhead transfers
• Dual 72-bit DDR3/DDR3L memory interfaces supporting speeds up to 1600 MHz

Applications

• Mission critical embedded infrastructure
• Cloud computing and high-performance computing
• Media processing and transcoding
• Network security and analytics
• Video and imaging infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DAAW24' against official documentation to confirm the exact frequency binning and temperature grade. Confirm that the required cryptographic functions are enabled, as the Security Accelerator may be subject to export controls and restricted shipments. Ensure compatibility with the EVMK2H development ecosystem.

Selection Notes

Select this model when four DSP cores and two ARM cores are sufficient for the workload. Compare against the 66AK2H12 or 66AK2H14 if eight DSP cores or ten-gigabit Ethernet capabilities are required. Verify that the 1517-pin FCBGA package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This device belongs to the 66AK2Hxx family of Multicore DSP+ARM KeyStone II SoCs. It shares the same package and core architecture variants as the 66AK2H12 and 66AK2H14, differentiated primarily by the number of active DSP and ARM cores and the presence of 10-GbE ports in higher-end models.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: 66AK2H12DAAW24, 66AK2H14DAAW24.
