Single-Core 32-bit 600MHz MIPS® Processor with DDR2, PCIE, RGMII, and SGMII
The BCM53001/BCM53003 is a family of communication processors designed to deliver leading-edge system-level performance while still being very cost-effective and power-efficient. Optimized for price/performance, it is designed for next-generation communication applications in switch control and management, Metro Ethernet CPE, and Enterprise access points. Complete solutions, including processor, switch, PHY, and management software, are available for all target applications. Evaluation boards for each target application provide a fast time-to-market platform for system development.
At the heart of the processor is the powerful MIPS74K core, capable of running at a maximum frequency of 600 MHz. With a superscalar dual-issue pipeline and out-of-order execution, the processor delivers up to 2 DMIPS/MHz. Furthermore, the BCM53001/BCM53003 features specialized network acceleration hardware, enabling it to offload CPU intensive processing tasks. The point-to-point interconnect fabric (AXI) ensures there are no performance bottlenecks for on-chip processing.
