P2020-MSC8156AMC-SA Block Diagram

The P2020 is the next generation multi-core integrated communications processor using 45nm SOI process technology with two e500 cores running at 1.2 GHz, Security Engine, a memorycontroller supporting DDR2/3 memory devices, 3 x Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (eTSECs), x4 SERDES block (shared between PCIE/SRIO) USB 2.0, enhanced SDHC (eSDHC) card controller, SPI and an enhanced 32-bit local bus.

The MSC8156 delivers a high level of performance and integration, combining six fully programmable, new and enhanced SC3850 DSP cores, each running at 1 GHz. This 6GHz of processing power coupled with an architecture highly optimized for wireless infrastructure applications make this an ideal platform for developing solutions for the next generation of wireless standards such as 3G_LTE, WiMAX, HSDPA+ and TDD-LTE.

The Rapid System Development reference platform, including both hardware and software, is specifically targeted for customers developing base station equipment solutions.
