Motorola has rolled out two new members of its integrated host processor family: the newly packaged MPC8241 and the speed-enhanced MPC8245. It says that both of these new processors deliver a cost-effective, PowerPC-based solution, targeting applications requiring system-on-a-chip integration and PCI connectivity in the networking infrastructure, storage, and telecommunications markets.
"Our goal is to continually provide customers with a wide range of PowerPC processors that deliver a cost effective mix of performance and integration for embedded networking solutions," said Brian Wilkie, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Motorola's Computing Platform Division. "Through low power consumption and board space reduction, Motorola's new integrated host processors are designed to improve our customer's ability to develop and deploy products faster and more cost-effectively."
The new MPC8241 is offered in a new 357-pin plastic BGA package-allowing for additional cost and board space savings while retaining the functionally of the MPC8245. The MPC8241 will be offered at 166 and 200 MHz. In addition, the MPC8245 is now being offered at higher performance with 333 and 350 MHz versions available.
As part of Motorola's Integrated Host Processor family, both the MPC8241 and MPC8245 offer performance with a high level of integration, reducing system component cost, simplifying board design and lowering power consumption. Both devices integrate a full-featured embedded PowerPC 603e core. This integrates a 32 bit processor with floating point, memory management, branch predication unit, and 16K data and 16K instruction cache.
