Marvell MV78100 SoC with Sheeva Technology
Discovery Innovation Series
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MV78100 is a high-performance, low-power, highly integrated processor with the Marvell
®
Sheeva™ CPU technology
included. The Sheeva core is an ARMv5TE-compliant CPU core. Built on Marvell’s innovative Discovery™ system controller
platform, the MV78100 is a complete system-on-chip (SoC) solution. Optimized for low power operation, the MV78100 is
ideally suited to a wide range of applications ranging from sophisticated routers, switches and wireless base stations to
high-volume laser printers applications.
The MV78100 offers unparalleled integration that makes system design simple and cost efficient. The SoC integrates:
•
High-performance dual-issue CPU with Vector Floating Point (VFP) support
•
800 MHz, 1 Ghz and 1.2 Ghz operating speed
•
32KB-Instruction and 32KB-Data 4-way, set-associative L1 cache
•
512KB unified 8-way, set-associative L2 cache
•
40/72-bit high bandwidth DDR2 memory interface (up to 800 MHz data rate)
•
Two Gigabit Ethernet MACs with interface options
•
Two PCI-Express ports (x4 or Quad x1)
•
Three USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs
•
Two SATA 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs
•
Security engine
•
Pin-compatible with dual-core (MV78200) version
The innovative, on-chip crossbar architecture with any-to-any connectivity enables concurrent transactions among multiple
units that results in high system throughput allowing system designers to create high-performance scalable systems.
Tightly integrated CPU and memory controller significantly improves application performance.
