Communications Controller for
PowerPC ® Processor
GT-96132
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell¨ Horizonª GT-96132 communications controller is the industry-leading solution for channelized ¨
WAN applications such as low to mid-range routers and access line cards that are architected around PowerPC
processors. The Horizon controller enables convergence of voice, video and data for LAN/WAN enterprise routers.
The integrated NetGXª off-loading engine provides ready-to-use solutions for IPSec off-loading, ATM acceleration
and higher-level flow classification. Other integrated system controller functions such as PCI bridges, Ethernet
Media Access Controllers (MACs), DRAM controller, interrupt controllers, and timers provide design flexibility and
shorter time-to-market.
