Processor PC8610

Features • e600 Power Architecture™ Processor Core • PD Maximum 16W at 1.33 GHz (VDD = 1.025V) ; 13W at 1.066 GHz (VDD = 1.00V) • Selectable MPX Bus up to 533 MHz • Integrated L1: 32 KB Instruction and 32 KB Data Cache (with Parity Protection) • Integrated L2: 256 KB Backside Cache with Optional ECC • LCD Controller: Maximum Display Resolution SXGA 1280 × 1024 with 60 Hz Refresh • PCI Express Interface: One 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x and One 1x, 2x or 4x Serial (2.5 Gbaud/lane) • Audio Interface: Two Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) Controllers for I2S or AC97 Audio Inputs/Outputs • Memory Controller: DDR/DDR2 SDRAM with ECC (333, 400 and 533 MHz Data Rates) • DMA Controller: Two Four-channel Controllers • Other Interfaces: Two Fast Infra-Red Interfaces (FIRI) • fINT Max = 1333 MHz • fBUS Max = 533 MHz Overview The PC8610 features a high-performance, superscalar e600 core operating between 667 MHz and 1333 MHz. Its smaller 256 KB backside L2 cache saves power and cost for target applications that typically don’t need the full 1 MB cache available in other e600-based devices. The core also includes the AltiVec® 128-bit vector processing engine which EEMBC benchmarks show to give a 3 to 10 times performance increase.
