100 series Marvell PXA168 Application Processor High Performance, Highly Integrated Processor Scalable to 1.2 GHz for Cost-Sensitive, Intelligent Consumer and Embedded Devices PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell® PXA168 processor is the flagship device in Marvell’s ARMADA™ 100 series of application processors targeted at mass market opportunities in computing and consumer devices. It balances high computing and multimedia performance with low power consumption to support extended battery life, and includes a wealth of integrated peripherals to reduce overall BOM cost. The Marvell PXA168 processor is based on a new innovative architecture that delivers the processing capabilities of an entry-level laptop to instant-on, digital consumer and embedded devices by enabling full-featured web browsing, Internet widgets, multi-format video, Adobe® Flash® based content playback, image processing, video conferencing, and sophisticated ultra-fast graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Turnkey reference designs coupled with complete software stacks speed time-to-market for devices that can include the following: • Connected digital photo frames (DPF) • e-readers and eBooks • Smartbooks and mobile computing devices • Home and office automation/printer user interfaces • Automotive dashboard display and consoles • Personal navigation devices and fleet tracking • VoIP and video IP phones • Internet TV set-top boxes • IP surveillance cameras • Other mass-market consumer and embedded devices The CPU core is powered by Marvell Sheeva™ technology and is completely ARMv5 ISA and XScale compliant. Core speeds beyond 1 GHz and a direct path to commodity DDR2 SDRAM memory enable fast user responsiveness and differentiation to bring advanced applications to mainstream devices. A multimedia coprocessor powered by WMMX2 technology and a graphics engine support HD video and rich GUIs. Integrated support for standard peripherals including MLC NAND, USB2.0 HS OTG w/PHY, a 5-in-1 card reader, PCIe®, and a 10/100 Ethernet MAC can dramatically lower total BOM cost. The Marvell PXA168 also supports high-resolution displays up to WUXGA and Marvell Qdeo™ Intelligent Color Remapping technology, bringing vivid color to displays without hue shifts or clipping while preserving skin tones. The Marvell PXA168 reference platform supports Linux, Android and Microsoft® Windows® CE 6.0r2 and r3 operating systems and a comprehensive media framework for connected consumer devices, including standard video and audio codecs, as well as Adobe Flash and Flash Lite™ players, advanced GUIs and widgets, and many third-party applications. The rich software environment speeds time-to-market and provides a common software base and a scalable platform to cover a breadth of product offerings. The Marvell PXA168 processor is available in a 320-ball BGA package with 0.8mm ball pitch. The ARMADA 100 series also includes a 144-pin QFP package that facilitates using 2-layer PCBs. Turnkey reference designs are available to leverage the wealth of Marvell solutions, including embedded Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, power management, and video scaling solutions.
