Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the MPC8569E PowerQUICC III communications processor – a high-performance, low-power device based on 45 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.
The processor is ideally suited to advanced wireless and wireline communications equipment applications and supports a wide range of wireless protocols while delivering up to 1,3 Gigahertz performance within a sub-10 watt power envelope.
The device is designed to address increasing performance and protocol support requirements, as well as demand for low-cost operation for broadband access equipment such as 3G/WiMAX/LTE base stations, RNCs, gateways and ATM/TDM/IP equipment.
The MPC8569E offloads data path tasks to the QUICC Engine block, which handles termination, interworking and switching between a wide range of communication protocols and interface standards such as Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, HDLC, POS, PPP and PWE3. The device also includes a high-performance CPU with 512 KB Level 2 (L2) cache, one 64-bit or two 32-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, SGMII, serial RapidIO interconnects, USB 2.0 and PCI Express technology.
The processor utilises standard microcodes, providing firmware for existing protocols and further downloadable RAM microcode packages that offer support for new functionality or protocols. Freescale also offers a full-featured modular development system, and a version of its CodeWarrior development environment for QUICC Engine technology that simplifies initialisation and configuration of drivers and communications protocols.
