MPC8548E Networking/Telecom Processor

Freescale Semiconductor

Description:

This next-generation PowerQUICC III processor is designed to offer clock speeds scaling up to 1.33 GHz with headroom for 1.5 GHz. It combines the powerful e500 PowerPC core, enhanced peripherals and high-speed interconnect technology to balance processor performance with I/O system throughput.

Key features include 512KB L2 cache, integrated security engine, 64-bit DDR1/2 scaling to 667 MHz data rate, dual 32-bit PCI or 64-bit PCI-X, 4-bit Serial RapidIO fabric technology and 4-bit PCI-Express (or single 8-bit PCI Express 1.0a), local bus IO interfaces, and four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The combination of these features makes this device an optimal communications processing solution for Ethernet-only or RapidIO interworking applications, such as enterprise networking, telecom transmission and switching and 3G wireless basestations. The security engine includes Kasumi algorithm acceleration, making the MPC8548E an ideal choice for enhancing security protocol processing in 2.5G and 3G wireless network infrastructure.
