Marvell Quad-Core ARMADA XP Series SoC For Enterprise-Class Cloud Computing Applications PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell® ARMADA™ XP (Extreme Performance) series of multicore processors is the industry’s first quad-core ARM processor designed for enterprise-class cloud computing applications. The Marvell ARMADA XP employs a very low power architecture and incorporates up to four Marvell designed ARM V7 MP compliant 1.6GHz CPU cores to deliver the best performance per watt for next generation “Green” system designs. The ARMADA XP series supports SMP (Symmetrical Multi-processing)/AMP (Asymmetrical Multi-processing) modes with hardware cache coherency and 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory interface at 800MHz clock rate (1600MHz data rate) to enable very high-performance system design. These devices incorporate up to 2MB L2 cache, Quad x4 PCI-express™ interfaces, multiple USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet ports, SATA, security engine and advanced power management techniques — setting new technology benchmarks for high-performance, low power and integration. With its broad offering of 5 pin compatible chips, the ARMADA XP is ideally suited for applications ranging from high-performance networking, wireless infrastructure and web servers to high volume products like NAS, home servers, laser printers and other embedded applications. • Up to four high-performance CPU cores with Vector Floating Point (VFP) support • 800MHz to 1.6GHz operating speed • Heterogeneous multiprocessing (SMP/AMP/Mixed) with hardware-based cache coherency • I/O cache coherency • 32KB-Instruction (4-way) and 32KB-Data (8-way), set-associative L1 cache per core • Up to 2MB shared and unified 32-way, set-associative L2 cache • 64-bit DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L memory interface with ECC support at up to 800MHz clock rates (1600MHz data rate) • Four Gigabit Ethernet MACs with interface options (GMII/RGMII/SGMII/QSGMII) • High-performance security engines • Four PCI-e 2.0 ports (two x4 ports can be configured to Quad x1 – up to 16 lanes) • Three USB 2.0 ports • Two SATA 2.0 ports • Up to 16 high speed Marvell SERDES lanes with multi functionality (PCI-e, SATA, SGMII, QSGMII) • Advanced power management • On-chip LCD controller, NOR, NAND, SPI, SDIO, UART, I2C, TDM interfaces, etc. Shared L2/SRAM 2MB Packets Deposit Pre fetch 4 x V6/V7 CPU, w/FPU @1.6GHz Coherency Fabric 4 x GbE/ QSGMII System Crossbar 2 x SATA II Secured Boot Advanced Power Mng.
