Features

OVERVIEW

The MSP7150 is a multi-service communication SoC that enables fiber access gateways for the FTTH market. The MSP7150 as part of PMC's MSP7100 Series of multi-service processors provides the capabilities to underpin a complete range of RGs with a key set of interfaces, and, critically, a common architecture with shared software and service definitions. This universal RG family scales from cost optimized ADSL/2/2+, and VDSL2, to the high performance of GPON/EPON applications.
The MSP7150 chipset addresses superior datapath performance, application support, and robust voice processing with industry leading cost/performance. The chipset provides a seamless interface with PMC-Sierra's family of CPE PON devices to achieve a managed digital home with the gigabit boost required for IPTV.
This new breed of RG processor ensures simultaneous functionality for voice, video, and data resulting in broadband service guarantees. The MSP7150's superior packet processing and QoS performance with advanced remote management capabilities addresses evolving use cases and provides carriers the ability to control in-home service distribution, which is essential for a zero-effort consumer experience. As well, the MSP7150 has the processing headroom to support service application processing.
The MSP7150's high performance multi-threaded (MT) 7100 Series core delivers dynamic multifunction guarantees for the flexible allocation of resources. Combined with three 10/100/1000 GE MACs, dual USB 2.0 interfaces, and a DDR1/2 memory interface, this powerful engine provides the necessary performance and connectivity for service revenue generating central broadband portal.
The MSP7150 includes a Linux software development kit containing PMC Sierra's Fast-Data-Path, which is designed for the QoS requirements of triple -play RGs.

BENEFITS

Exceptional simultaneous processing behaviors are essential for triple play and the evolution to true multi-service deployments. PMCSierra's RG solution enables complex traffic management, routing, bridging, and firewall tasks concurrently with the ability to support processing guarantees for voice, video, and data services. These simultaneous processing capabilities ensure critical quality of experience (QoE) for all broadband service deployments.

  • Multi-function core
    • Enables guaranteed flexible networking performance with a significant throughput improvement compared to single-threaded processors
    • Dynamic reassignment of processing cycles between diverse functions of the multi-service digital home with cycle guarantees for robust QoE
  • Processing power
    • The MT 7100 Core achieves industry-leading processing power
    • Provides essential headroom to address requirements for evolving services, service bandwidth, and digital home infrastructure: stronger management/control, interworking of HAN technologies for end-to-end QoS, and gateway application processing
  • Multi-service networking
    • Greater packet processing permits advanced QoS features for robust service delivery, for high service bandwidth and guarantees for service growth
  • Robust voice processing
    • VoIP Terminal Adapter functionality is guaranteed, independent of all other processing and traffic conditions
    • Centralized processing of voice enables resources (when not required for voice functions) to be dynamically allocated to other functions without influence from software
  • 'Programmer friendly' programming model
    • Leverages standard tools and a large software ecosystem with best of breed components support
    • Linux based software stack
    • Open 7100 Series programming model
  • Seamless integration with PON WAN/ONT/ONU

    • The MSP7100 Core provides exceptionally fast networking performance to leverage the full potential of next generation access networks and ultra-highspeed home networking technologies

Software

The MSP7150 is supported by a Linux software development kit (7100 Series RG SDK). The SDK enables designers to quickly and easily build high-performance, feature-rich gateways.

The SDK includes a voice processing module (VPM) VoIP firmware suite.

The MSP7150 and SDK are supported by standard tools from industry leading vendors as well as GNU development tools (compiler, debugger, EJTAG support, etc.)

For more details about the software development environment, refer to the MSP7100 Series SDK Product Brief.
