Marvell MV78200 SoC with Sheeva Technology
Discovery Innovation Series
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The MV78200 is a dual-core, high-performance, low-power, highly integrated processor with the Marvell® Sheeva™
ARMv5TE-compliant CPU core. Built on Marvell’s innovative Discovery™ system controller platform, the MV78200 is a
complete system-on-chip (SoC) solution. Optimized for low power operation, the MV78200 is ideally suited to a wide range
of applications ranging from sophisticated routers, switches and wireless base stations to high-volume laser printers
applications.
The MV78200 offers unparalleled integration that makes system design simple and cost efficient. The SoC integrates:
• High-performance dual-issue CPU with Vector Floating Point (VFP) support
• 800 MHz and 1 Ghz operating speed
• 32KB-Instruction and 32KB-Data 4-way, set-associative L1 cache per core
• 512KB unified 8-way, set-associative L2 cache per core
• 40/72-bit high bandwidth DDR2 memory interface (up to 800 MHz data rate)
• Four Gigabit Ethernet MACs with interface options
• Two PCI-Express ports (x4 or Quad x1)
• Three USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs
• Two SATA 2.0 ports with integrated PHYs
• Security engine
• Pin-compatible with single-core (MV78100) version
The innovative, on-chip crossbar architecture with any-to-any connectivity enables concurrent transactions among multiple
units that results in high system throughput allowing system designers to create high-performance scalable systems.
Tightly integrated CPU and memory controller significantly improves application performance.
