Features
GENERAL
PMC-Sierra's MSP8500 Series Multi-Service Processor products are
designed to meet the needs of networking, storage, office automation,
industrial control and high-end consumer applications. The MSP8510 Multi-Service Processor is a highly-integrated, featurerich
product that incorporates PMC-Sierra's high performance E9000
microprocessor core. The MSP8510 uses the Fast Device Bus (FDB) as
the system bus to interconnect all the on-chip devices to each other
and to the E9000 microprocessor using the Generic Device Interface
(GDI). All MSP8500 Series products provide a variety of interfaces
including PCI, Ethernet, and ROM, Flash, Compact Flash, SRAM, and
other low-speed peripheral interfaces. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- E9000 microprocessor core:
- 600 MHz to 1 GHz operation
- Dual-issue superscalar 7-stage pipeline
- 16 Kbyte L1 Instruction and Data caches with parity and a 256-
Kbyte L2 cache with ECC support
- 8K entry branch prediction table
- Multiple reads with out-of-order return
- MMU with 128 total TLB entries, page size range: 4 Kbytes to
256 Mbytes.
- High-performance Floating Point Unit (IEEE 754)
- Fixed-point DSP instructions
- 400 MHz Fast Device Bus (FDB) system interconnect:
- Multiple master, shared, on-chip bus
- Bus performance monitoring
- Connects the E9000 CPU and other peripherals to memory and
I/O interfaces
- 167-200 MHz DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM memory controller with 64-bit
data interface:
- Supports Class I and Class II SSTL drive strengths
- Supports maximum addressing up to 4 Gbytes
- Provides DDR2 single-ended DQS signaling so that DDR2 RAMs
may be supported and operated in DDR1 mode
- DDR1 supports device densities of 64, 128, 256, 512 Mbits and
1 Gbit. DDR2 supports densities of 256 Mbits, 512 Mbits and
1 Gbit
- DDR2 supports device widths of 8 and 16 bits. DDR1 additionally
supports 32-bit widths
- Supports unbuffered and registered DIMMs
- 2 PCI ports, 32 bits each:
- Compliant with PCI 2.3 standard
- Supports 0 to 66 MHz frequencies
- Supports on-line insertion and removal
- Local Bus controller providing glueless ROM, Flash, Compact Flash,
SRAM, external USB 2.0 devices, and Variable-Latency I/O (VLIO)
support:
- 6 independent chip selects
|
- 2 Ethernet MAC or Generic Packet Interfaces (GE Subsystem +
Generic Device Interface XDMA Controller):
- Ethernet MAC interfaces support industry-standard TBI
(1000 Mbit/s), GMII (1000 Mbit/s), and MII (10/100 Mbit/s, full
and half duplex) interface modes
- Integrated DMA support for GE subsystem:
- Up to 16 logical channels for each receive and transmit direction
- Receive and transmit are independent
- 32-Kbyte scalable packet FIFO:
- 24 Kbytes for the receive direction. Configurable sizing
- Support for Ethernet pause flow control
- 2 integrated 16550 UART ports
- 32 Kbytes of on-chip memory (ECC)
- 64 general-purpose I/O pins with integrated de-bounce on 8 pins
- Integrated watchdog timer and 4 general-purpose timers
- Up to 4 ports of Two-Wire interface (TWI) with support for Small Form
Factor Plug-able (SFP) or up to 4 ports of MDIO/MDC interface
protocol through the general-purpose I/O pins
- Integrated DMA engine, which supports 4 independently configured
and controlled channels
- Support for 256 vectored interrupts:
- In-band interrupt sources from all on-chip GDI devices
- Flexible mapping of interrupt vectors to E9000 CPU interrupt lines
- Integrated on-chip EJTAG debug circuitry:
- A dedicated debug module on the E9000 core
- Watch exceptions, interrupt and exception debuggers,
performance counters, and 64-entry trace buffers
- 896-pin FCBGA package, 31 mm x 31 mm
- Pin compatible with the MSP8520 Multi-Service Security
