Features
GENERAL
PMC-Sierra's MSP8110 Multi-Service Processor is designed to meet the needs of networking appliance, network attached storage applications and embedded systems.
The MSP8110 is part of the MSP8100 Series of highly-integrated, feature-rich products that incorporate the high performance, power efficient MIPS 34K core. The processor provides PCI, dual Ethernet, ROM, Flash, DDR, and low-speed peripheral interfaces, which are connected internally to the MIPS 34K core by a high-bandwidth multiservice bus.
BENEFITS
- High-performance 400 MHz MIPS32 core enables demanding
packet processing and network security applications
- Highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution simplifies board
design, reducing component and overall system cost
|
- Optimized memory controller provides low latency, high bandwith
access to SDRAM (333 MHz DDR-2)
|
MIPS 34K MICROPROCESSOR CORE
- Supports MIPS32 Release 2 instruction set
- 400 MHz operation
- 9-stage pipeline
- 64 Kbyte Instruction and Data caches
|
- MIPS16e Code Compression
- 32-bit address paths, 64-bit data paths to caches and external
interface
- DSP instruction set extensions

- Two universal asynchronous serial (UART) interfaces
|
CLOCK MANAGER AND BOOT CONTROLLER
- In single crystal mode, all on-chip clocks are generated from a single
36 MHz crystal
|
|
ETHERNET INTERFACE
