PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP

Microprocessors Overview

The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP is a 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor featuring four 600 MHz U54 application cores and one 600 MHz E51 monitor core. It includes a flexible 2 MB L2 memory subsystem, an integrated 36-bit DDR4/LPDDR4 controller, and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40 °C to +100 °C. The device utilizes the FCSG325 package with a 0.5 mm pin pitch.

Microprocessors Feature Summary

• Supports mixed-criticality computing by combining Linux-capable U54 cores with a deterministic real-time E51 monitor core within a coherent multi-core cluster.
• Integrates a TeraFire crypto processor and dual physically unclonable functions (PUF) for secure boot and hardware-level data protection.
• Features a configurable L2 memory subsystem that can operate as a cache, loosely integrated memory, or shared scratchpad memory.

Microprocessors Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring deterministic control alongside high-level processing
• Secure embedded compute platforms utilizing hardware-based security features
• Edge devices supporting mixed operating environments such as Linux and RTOS
