A 32-bit single/dual e600 core integrated processors from e2v for extended-rel apps

e2v has announced the availability of its PC8640/8641 and PC8640/8641D, extended-reliability versions of the MC8640/8641 32-bit Single or Dual-e600 Core Processor from Freescale. The new processors offer better performance, connectivity and integration of the high-performance e600 core for applications including aerospace and defence, networking, and storage and wireless infrastructure.

The PC8640/8641 processors are manufactured on Freescale's 90nm process technology and the PC8640 (D) features single or dual e600 cores running at up to 1250 MHz, and the PC8641 (D) single or dual e600 cores running at up to 1500 MHz. The processors also include dual 64 bit DDR2 memory controllers, to match the bandwidth requirements of two cores, two flexible high-performance I/O ports, dual 8-lane PCI Express ports, and high-performance serial point-to-point link commonly used to connect a variety of other on-board high-performance devices for applications such as defence guidance, video processing and aircraft cockpit displays.

"These integrated processors leverage the combined expertise of e2v and Freescale Semiconductor by coupling Freescale Semiconductor's renowned e600 Power Architecture with e2v's world-class reputation for the development and manufacture of extended-reliability IC products" said Eric Marcelot, e2v's Hi-Rel Microprocessor Marketing Manager, adding: "This latest level of performance and integration can replace what could take up to four ICs using other solutions. When coupled with the extended temperature range, the PC8640/8641 processors open up a whole new range of design options for System Designers working on extended reliability requirements in extreme conditions".

Operating temperature range: -55°C to +125°C
