Freescale Semiconductor Document Number: MSC8251 Rev. 7, 08/2013 Data Sheet MSC8251 FC-PBGA783 29 mm 29 mm Single-Core Digital Signal Processor One StarCore SC3850 DSP subsystems, with an SC3850 DSP High-speed serial interface that supports two Serial RapidIO core, 32 Kbyte L1 instruction cache, 32 Kbyte L1 data cache, interfaces, one PCI Express interface, and two SGMII interfaces unified 512 Kbyte L2 cache configurable as M2 memory in (multiplexed). The Serial RapidIO interfaces support 1x/4x 64 Kbyte increments, memory management unit (MMU), operation up to 3.125 Gbaud with a single messaging unit and two extended programmable interrupt controller (EPIC), two DMA units. The PCI Express controller supports 32- and 64-bit general-purpose 32-bit timers, debug and profiling support, addressing, x4, x2, and x1 link. low-power Wait, Stop, and power-down processing modes, and QUICC Engine technology subsystem with dual RISC ECC/EDC support. processors, 48 Kbyte multi-master RAM, 48 Kbyte instruction Chip-level arbitration and switching system (CLASS) that RAM, supporting two communication controllers for two Gigabit provides full fabric non-blocking arbitration between the cores Ethernet interfaces (RGMII or SGMII), to offload scheduling and other initiators and the M2 memory, shared M3 memory, tasks from the DSP cores, and an SPI. DDR SRAM controllers, device configuration control and status I/O Interrupt Concentrator consolidates all chip maskable registers, and other targets. interrupt and non-maskable interrupt sources and routes then to 1056 Kbyte 128-bit wide M3 memory, 1024 Kbytes of which can INT OUT, NMI OUT, and the cores. be turned off to save power. UART that permits full-duplex operation with a bit rate of up to 96 Kbyte boot ROM. 6.25 Mbps. Three input clocks (one global and two differential). Two general-purpose 32-bit timers for RTOS support per SC3850 Five PLLs (three global and two Serial RapidIO PLLs). core, four timer modules with four 16-bit fully programmable Two DDR controllers with up to a 400 MHz clock (800 MHz data timers, and eight software watchdog timers (SWT). rate), 64/32 bit data bus, supporting up to a total 2 Gbyte in up to Eight programmable hardware semaphores. four banks (two per controller) and support for DDR2 and DDR3. Up to 32 virtual interrupts and a virtual NMI asserted by simple DMA controller with 32 unidirectional channels supporting 16 write access. 2 memory-to-memory channels with up to 1024 buffer descriptors I C interface. per channel, and programmable priority, buffer, and multiplexing Up to 32 GPIO ports, sixteen of which can be configured as configuration. It is optimized for DDR SDRAM. external interrupts. Up to four independent TDM modules with programmable word Boot interface options include Ethernet, Serial RapidIO interface, 2 size (2, 4, 8, or 16-bit), hardware-base A-law/-law conversion, I C, and SPI. up to 62.5 Mbps data rate for each TDM link, and with glueless Supports standard JTAG interface interface to E1 or T1 framers that can interface with Low power CMOS design, with low-power standby and H-MVIP/H.110 devices, TSI, and codecs such as AC-97. power-down modes, and optimized power-management circuitry. 45 nm SOI CMOS technology. 20102013 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.
