Marvell 88F6180 SoC with Sheeva Technology
Kirkwood Series
PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell® 88F6180 SoC with Sheeva™ embedded CPU technology, is a high-performance integrated controller for value class applications. It integrates the Marvell Sheeva CPU core which is fully ARMv5TE-compliant with a 256KB L2 Cache. The 88F6180 builds upon Marvell’s innovative Feroceon® family of processors, improves performance, and adds new features to reduce bill of materials (BOM) costs. The 88F6180 is suitable for a wide range of applications such as routers, gateway, networking, audio and printer products.
The 88F6180 offers unparalleled integration that makes system design simple and cost efficient. The SoC integrates: • High-performance single-issue CPU • 600 Mhz - 800 Mhz operating speed • 16KB-Instruction and 16KB-Data 4-way, set-associative L1 cache • 256KB unified 4-way, set-associative L2 cache • 16-bit DDR2 memory interface (up to 600 MHz data rate) • Single Gigabit Ethernet MAC with interface options • Precise Timing Protocol and Audio Video Bridging • Single PCI-Express port • Single USB 2.0 port with integrated PHY • Network security engine with various encryption algorithm support • Audio interface • SDIO, NAND flash, SPI, TWSI, and Two UART interfaces
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.
