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
  • EJTAG debug and off-chip trace support

PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT

  • 8-entry Instruction TLB (ITLB) and Data TLB (DTLB)
  • 32 dual-entry Joint TLB (JTLB)
  • JTLBs are sharable under software control

USB 2.0 CONTROLLER AND PHY

  • Both host and device mode of operation
  • Supports low-speed (LS) operation (1.5 Mbit/s), full-speed (FS) operation (12 Mbit/s) and hi-speed (HS) operation (480 Mbit/s)

SYSTEM INTERRUPT CONTROLLER

  • Handles interrupts for on-chip peripherals and 8 external interrupts
  • Supports up to 32 PCI message signaled interrupts (MSI)

HIGH PERFORMANCE MULTI-SERVICE BUS (MS BUS) ARCHITECTURE

  • 32 bits at 166 MHz (5.33 Gbit/s)
  • DMA engines integrated for the Ethernet MACs, USB, TDM interface, security engine, and block copy engine

SYSTEM LOGIC AND PERIPHERALS MODULE

  • 3.3 V PCI Local Bus 2.3-compliant host interface
  • Configurable external Local Bus interface that supports data transfers up to 25 Mbytes per second
  • Glueless interface to x8 Flash memories
  • Clock manager and boot controller
  • Serial Peripheral Interface/ Microprocessor Peripheral Interface (SPI/MPI)
  • Two-Wire serial interface
  • 20 GPIO pins
  • System interrupt controller (internal and external interrupts)
  • Two external timers / clock generator
  • 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

  • Two independent 10/100 Ethernet MAC controllers
  • User selectable Media-Independent Interface (MII) or RMII (Reduced MII) Interface on each MAC

APPLICATIONS

  • Networking applications
  • Security appliances
  • Storage applications
