QorIQ T1 and T2 Families of Communications Processors Built for speed, designed to connect freescale.comQorIQ T1 and T2 Families Application Brief QorIQ T1 and T2 Families of Communications Processors Overview The QorIQ communications portfolio delivers a smarter as well as general-purpose embedded computing. Its high level approach to multicoreproviding a coherent migration path of integration offers significant performance benefits and greatly from single core to multicore and from 32-bit to 64-bit devices. helps to simplify board design. Now over 25 products strong, the QorIQ communications The QorIQ T2080 and T2081 communications processors platform is the industrys broadest portfolio of communications are primarily intended as a migration path from Freescales processors, which enable customers to address opportunities successful P3041 and P2041 mid-range series of quad- and deploy their solutions across a wide range of performance, core devices in applications requiring control plane or energy dissipation and cost points from power-constrained integrated control and data plane processing. It provides devices to the highest performance multicore devices. While an excellent migration path as it offers 2x or better core the QorIQ communications portfolio has been widely deployed capability, increased cache sizes and additional Ethernet in a large number of networking segment applications, connectivity within a similar power budget. It also provides these high-performance, system-on-chip (SoC) solutions are a value-engineering opportunity for P4080 communications consistently being adopted by industrial markets, as well. processor customers, as T2080 device provides equivalent The QorIQ T1 family of communications processors combines performance at much lower price and power. The T2080 up to four 64-bit cores, built on Power Architecture communications processor is targeted at high-performance technology, with high-performance Data Path Acceleration control plane applications or mid-range mixed control and Architecture (DPAA) and network peripheral bus interfaces data plane applications. The efficient e6500 core achieves up required for networking and telecommunications. This scalable, to 1.8 GHz, while maintaining a short seven-stage pipeline for pin-compatible family also features the industrys first 64-bit better latency response to unpredictable control plane code embedded processor with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet branches. Advanced virtualization technology facilitates safe switch (T1040 and T1020 processors) which simplifies partitioning of control and data plane applications within the hardware design, reduces power and overall system cost. The device. In addition, each e6500 core implements the Freescale T1 family is ideally suited for use in mixed control and data AltiVec technology SIMD engine, dramatically boosting the plane applications such as fixed routers, switches, Internet performance of media and networking algorithms without using access devices, firewall and other packet filtering applications, additional DSP components on the board. QorIQ T1/T2 Families Features and Benefits Key Features Benefits 64-bit Built on Power Up to four cores at 1.4 GHz (T1040/T1042) and up to eight cores at 1.8 GHz on T2080/T2081 Architecture Core Improved core architecture yields up to 6 DMIPS/MHz on T2 family dual-threaded processor and 3 DMIPS/MHZ on T1 family of devices Up to 64 GB of addressable memory space T series platforms offer pin compatibility from dual to octal cores ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 GHz Energy Efficiency Power management with support for deep sleep to enable low power to convection cooled and energy-efficient green designs Compliant with energy management standards such as European Code of Conduct, EnergyStar and ECMA393 Increase system power efficiency by 2x using advanced 28 nm process technology and energy efficiency with cascading power management Supports watt AC Application-Specific Increase system productivity with advanced core and SoC virtualization hardware and virtualization software solutions Accelerators Simplify I/O virtualization with I/O MMU for access to memory sharing Support for Topaz, KVM and Linux containers to meet customers demand Advanced Integration T1040/T1020 has an integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch to reduce system complexity and overall power Integrated accelerators, including DPAAClassification, Traffic Management Pattern Matching and Security Engine AltiVec Technology Deliver DSP functionality for compute-intensive processing tasks such as radar, sonar and image processing 10x performance improvements with AltiVec technology 250+ Mentor Graphics AltiVec libraries Trust Architecture Ensure only trusted code is booted Identify if the system is being tampered with and take appropriate action Protect secrets and intellectual property in the form of software Complete Solutions Complete development environment, including reference design boards, a software development kit, multicore debug and optimization tools and third-party production hardware and software solutions to enable you to design, develop and deliver your next solution to the market 2
