Cores Built on Power Architecture Technology and StarCore
™
Based DSPs
Freescale has a rich history of delivering performance, connectivity and integration to the networking, communications and pervasive computing markets. During more than ten years of Power Architecture technology and core development, Freescale has delivered increasingly higher performance cores, including AltiVec™ vector processing and more advanced processing technologies, such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI). Combining the company’s processing and connectivity capabilities, Freescale has pioneered
processor integration in the communications market and continues to lead the way with the PowerQUICC™ III family. Leveraging its advanced chip-level integration capabilities, Freescale is now delivering common
processor built on Power Architecture technology SoC platforms that combine the company’s
processor core portfolio with its broad IP portfolio. Freescale’s e300, e500, e600 and e700 SoC platforms are engineered to deliver scalable performance to meet a wide spectrum of processing and I/O requirements. In addition, the expanding StarCore DSP core-based family of
processors takes full advantage of the scalable StarCore architecture, and can be integrated with multiple peripherals, customer logic or our other core
processors. The raw processing power of these highly integrated SoC devices enables developers to create next-generation networking products that offer tremendous channel densities while maintaining system flexibility, scalability and upgradability. The ease with which these DSP devices can be programmed allows companies to bring new products to market significantly faster, with longer time in market and lower development costs. The cores are designed with C compilation in mind, and the compiler provides efficient code optimization while maintaining optimum code density. Host Peripheral Bus: PCI, PCI-X, PCMCIA, 60x, MPX, Local Bus System Fabric: RapidIO Freescale’s standard cell ASIC and SoC solutions combine scalable integration with scalable performance and connectivity. Our solutions offer the ability to integrate customer IP onto scalable SoC platforms using Power Architecture or StarCore-based DSP cores and a robust IP portfolio. This marriage of custom IP with Freescale’s technology portfolio enables us to develop a large variety of products quickly, enabling market entry acceleration for your next product.
