Addressing market demand for inexpensive processors that can
securely distribute and process multiple streams of rich multimedia content
throughout the home, Freescale Semiconductor introduces the MPC8313E PowerQUICC
II Pro processor with integrated security. Design, development and validation
of the MPC8313E processor and associated application software were conducted
entirely at Freescale's India Design Center in Noida, India.
The MPC8313E integrates a unique combination of Gigabit
Ethernet (GigE), USB2.0, high speed interconnect and advanced power management
technologies to provide an ideal platform for a variety of consumer
applications, including residential gateways, IEEE 802.11n access points,
digital media servers, network access storage devices and printers.
The cost-effective device meets a number of critical
requirements for digital home technology including piracy protection, quality
of service and ease-of-use features. Also, the processor adheres to the Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard, which makes it easy for consumers to
manage, view, print and share digital content across multiple devices within the
home.
“Over the recent years, Freescale India has consistently
demonstrated its ability to deliver innovative technologies for global markets.
The MPC8313E was completely designed out in India and demonstrates our growing
R&D contribution to our Networking and Computing Systems group
worldwide," said Ganesh Guruswamy, Country Manager and Director of
Freescale Semiconductor India.
The MPC8313E facilitates the deployment of a wide range of
high-speed peripherals at an extremely affordable price point. In addition to
GigE and USB2.0 w/ phy integration, the MPC8313E provides a 32-bit double data
rate (DDR1/DDR2) memory controller running up to 333 MHz, a 32-bit peripheral
component interconnect (PCI) controller, a 16-bit local bus and four direct
memory access (DMA) channels. The device's integrated security engine leverages
Freescale's extensive encryption technology portfolio. (The “E” in the MPC8313E
product name designates on-chip encryption.)
Initial samples of MPC8313E are available now, and general
samples are expected in Q1, 2007. General availability is scheduled for Q2
2007. Suggested retail pricing begins at $15 for 10,000 quantities. Page(s) 1
