Overview: MSP2015 Multi-Service Processor
.. Released MSP for VoIP Gateways and Phones, Wired and Wireless
GENERAL
The MSP2015 belongs to a full family of Multi-Service Processors designed to meet the performance, QoS and security needs of munications equipment used within the customer premise. The MSP2015 is an ideal solution for VoIP Gateways and wireless IP Phones. As shown below, it includes a MIPS CPU, three 10/100 Ethernet MACs, TDM interface, and a PCI interface. The MSP2015 provides a new level of price performance for VoIP Gateways and wireless IP phones. Because the MSP2015 eliminates the need for a separate processor, voice processing DSP, and multiple Ethernet MACs, systems can now be built with fewer chips at a very affordable price point. The MSP2015 has a unique systems architecture that provides wire-speed performance. This architecture includes a powerful MIPS CPU, a 4.25 Gbps bus, 16KB Scratchpad, and intelligent context aware DMA engines. Together, this results in an extremely cost effective VoIP solution. Integration of 802.11a, b, and g wireless LANs is easily facilitated through the PCI interface. To reduce time-to-market, PMC-Sierra offers prehensive support for the MSP2015, including evaluation boards, software, application engineering support, training, and documentation that together accelerate the product development process. In addition, the MSP2015 supports Linux, VxWorks, or custom operating systems.
