QorIQ Communications Platform: Scalable Processing Performance

Ideal for networking infrastructure, telecom, industrial control, storage, control plane, aerospace/defense and test and measurement applications, Freescale QorIQ communications platforms are the next-generation evolution of our leading PowerQUICC communications processors. Based on high-performance e500mc and e5500 cores built on Power Architecture technology, QorIQ platforms enable a new era of networking innovation that meets reliability, security and quality-of-service needs for the most demanding networking and industrial applications. We have expanded the performance range of the QorIQ communications processor product lines with the introduction of the quad-core QorIQ P2040/P2041 and P3 platforms, and the 64-bit QorIQ P5 platform. These processors deliver unprecedented performance power for a wide variety of applications. The new QorIQ P2040/P2041 and P3041 processors expand the reach of the Freescale P4 platform into lower power applications. Manufactured in 45 nm siliconon-insulator process technology, these processors offer optimal integration and new intellectual property that delivers improved functionality for end products. The P2040/ P2041 and P3041 processors integrate four e500mc cores based on Power Architecture technology running up to 1.5 GHz within 12 watts, and deliver about 2.5 DMIPS/MHz. Key features include a three-level cache hierarchy for optimized latencies, a hardware hypervisor for robust support of multiple operating systems within the device, a trusted boot architecture to ensure code is not tampered with or reverse engineered and efficient data path handling in the form of the Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA). The P5 family of processors offers our highest single-threaded performance for next-generation embedded control plane applications. With frequencies scaling to 2.4 GHz, the P5040 delivers an impressive 28,800 DMIPs in 25 watts typical power. The 64-bit e5500 core enables customers to address up to 64 GB of flat memory space, eliminating the 4 GB memory limitation in 32-bit architecture, and provides customers with 64-bit capabilities that are important in computational intensive applications such as image processing, security and statistical computing. The P5 devices are capable of pin compatibility with each other and also with the P4 and P3 devices. This enables seamless roadmap scaling from mid-range quad cores to high-end octals to high-end duals. Manufactured in 45 nm process technology, the P5040, P5021, P5020 and P5010 devices integrate a RAID 5/6 engine to accelerate parity calculations for storage applications, making it ideal for enterprise storage area networks (SAN) and enterprise network attached storage (NAS) solutions.

Application Brief
The P5020, P3041, P2040 and P2041 all support Serial RapidIO (V1.3 + 2.1) for higher bandwidth and a message manager to support Type 9 (data streaming) and improved Type 11 (messaging) transactions. The P5 and P3 families and the P204x support integrated serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) 2.0, PCI-E Gen 2 controllers, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 1 Gigabit Ethernet with support for 1.0 and 2.5 Gb/s SGMII and two USB 2.0 with integrated PHYs to provide a highly integrated, high-performance processor ideal for networking, industrial and data center applications. The QorIQ P2041 and P2040 processors are similar to the P3041 but have a lower cost, power, performance and functionality. These devices are pin compatible. The DPAA is common across this product line, as well as some members of the P1 family (such as the P1023 and P1027). As a result, products in all five levels of the QorIQ family are software compatible, enabling easy migration across a range of applications, scaling from consumer pizza boxes to core routers.

Telecommunications
Telecommunications is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Telecommunications carriers are expanding their data transmission capabilities by replacing copper wires with fiber optic cables. In some areas, carriers are extending fiber optic cable to residential customers, enabling them to offer cable television, video-ondemand, faster high-speed Internet and conventional telephone communications over a single line. The growth and innovation of the telecom industry has enabled people to communicate across the globe and access endless amounts of information over the Internet. Broadband services are becoming faster and easier to access with fiber-optic networks and wireless services like WiMax and LTE. These technologies allow faster data transmission and better Internet access in an effort to make wireless Internet carriers more competitive in a market that includes wired technologies. With faster connection speeds, wireless carriers can transmit music, videos, applications and other content that can be downloaded and played on cellular phones, giving users mobile access to large amounts of data. In addition, as use of this mobile technology increases, wireless companies continue to develop the next generation of technologies that will allow even faster data transmission. To help meet todays demanding requirements, telecommunication solutions must provide greater intelligence, higher bandwidth, wide connectivity, scalability and faster time to market. The P2040/ P2041 and P3041 processors integrate the features and performance required to meet the needs of telecommunication applications, including SGMII and PCIe to reduce system interconnect costs. In addition, Freescale offers dual Serial RapidIO ports (up to 5 GHz) which can be used for redundancy or multiple connections, both to the backplane or the DSP farm. With improved Type 11 messaging and new support for Type 9 data streaming, the Serial RapidIO interconnect can now be used as a control plane interface and to achieve its intended potential as a highly efficient data path.
