The COMX-P5020 module from Emerson Network Power provides the performance and features of the Freescale QorIQ™ processors on ready-to-go pluggable mezzanine modules. By incorporating and leveraging the mechanical features and dimensions of the COM Express^® specification, the COMX-P5020 exhibit all the best attributes of the COM Express open standard enabling shorter development schedules and faster time-to-market. Emerson has a range of QorIQ based COM Express form factor modules to enable scalable product strategies with multiple performance levels. This open, standardized approach fosters competitive pricing, greater upgrade flexibility and longevity of support.

The QorIQ P5020 processor is effectively a system-on-chip (SOC) device with a range of features including high-performance datapath acceleration and network processing in a low power envelope making the COMX-P5020 modules suitable for combined control, datapath and application layer processing. Underpinning the high-compute capability of these modules are the multiple Power Architecture e500mc cores which are complemented by highly flexible I/O including 10G-XAUI, SRIO, GPIO, USB 2.0, PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet and real-time debug.

The COMX-P5020 module dimensions are 95 mm x 125 mm which enables it to fit within a very wide range of enclosures when mounted on a customer carrier. It is an off-the-shelf processor solution that isolates you from the complexities of high speed processor and memory system design, allowing you to concentrate on a carrier tailored to application I/O needs.

By combining the tried and tested Power Architecture processor core along with a considerable range of on-module I/O, the COMX-P5020 is suitable for a range of applications including enterprise and service provider routers, switches, base-station controllers, radio network controllers (RNCs), long-term evolution (LTE) and general-purpose embedded computing systems in the networking, telecom/datacom, wireless infrastructure, military and aerospace markets.
