Features

GENERAL

The MSP2004 belongs to a full family of Multi-Service Processors designed to meet the performance, QoS and security needs of communications equipment used within the customer premise. The MSP2004 is an ideal solution for Ethernet-to-Ethernet Routers. As shown below, it includes a high performance MIPS processor, and two 10/100 Ethernet MACs.

The MSP2004 provides a new level of price/performance. Its unique systems architecture provides wire-speed performance. This architecture includes a powerful 4.25 Gbit/s bus, and intelligent context aware DMA engines. Together, this results in an extremely cost effective Ethernet Router solution.

To reduce time-to-market, PMC-Sierra offers comprehensive support for the MSP2004, including evaluation boards, software, application engineering support, training, and documentation that together accelerate the product development process. In addition, the MSP2004 supports Linux, VxWorks, or custom operating systems.
