Description
Designed specifically to address high-end embedded applications for storage, the PowerPC 440SPe (PPC440SPe) provides a high-performance, low power solution that interfaces to a wide range of peripherals by incorporating on-chip power management features and lower power dissipation.
This chip contains a high-performance RISC processor core, a DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM controller, configurable 256KB SRAM to be used as L2 cache or software-controlled on-chip memory, three PCIExpress interfaces, one DDR PCI-X bus interface, a 1Gbps Ethernet interface, an I2O/DMA controller, control for external ROM and peripherals, optional RAID 6 acceleration, an XOR DMA unit, serial ports, IIC interfaces, and general purpose I/O.
