The PPC405EX combines the proven performance of the market leading PPC405 processor with a high performance suite of peripheral and memory interfaces, including PCI Express, USB2.0 On-the-Go, DDR 2/1 and Gigabit Ethernet. The PPC405EX also incorporates an advanced security engine, featuring header/trailer processing capability and support for the broadest range of security protocols, including IPSec, SSL, and DTLS. The PPC405EX is ideally suited for the next generation WLAN applications that require exceptional performance, small foot print and low power.
"When we looked at the PowerPC 405EX and saw capabilities such as 900+ DMIPs performance, sub-2-W power dissipation, and an integrated hardware security engine that supports IPSec, SSL, and DTLS protocols, we were impressed," said Jim Harrison, West Coast US Editor, Electronic Products Magazine. "When you add to that dual PCI Express ports, dual GbE MACs, up to 484-Mbit/s USB 2.0, and a price tag under $17, we knew that AMCC's PowerPC 405EX was our clear choice for Product of the Year."
