Developers and designers of unified communications systems can leverage the computing power and flexibility of two advanced Freescale DSP devices based on high-performance StarCore technology. Extending the reach of the Freescale quad-core MSC812X family of DSPs, the dual- and tri-core MSC8112 and MSC8113 devices provide a lower cost, pin-compatible and lower power solution featuring direct Ethernet interface technology and up to four independent TDM modules.
The new devices are optimised for wireless infrastructure, media processing blades, telecom IPBX infrastructure and media gateways. They can be used for general DSP applications requiring performance ranges from 600 to 1200 MCPS with the added benefit of integrated Ethernet interfaces.
The products' Ethernet connectivity and ability to support up to 30 complex or 60 high-density voice channels positions them for design into any media-over-IP application in small to medium business systems. The MII, RMII and SMII Ethernet interfaces integrated into the devices provide direct access to packet networks. The DSPs provide a glueless interface to onboard Ethernet switches and PHYs, enabling scalable, distributed, low-cost board architectures.
