MSC8157E Reference Manual
Reference manual for the NXP MSC8157E, a six-core StarCore SC3850 DSP optimized for broadband wireless access with hardware acceleration and integrated security.
Overview
This comprehensive reference manual provides detailed technical specifications for the NXP MSC8157E, a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) featuring six StarCore SC3850 cores. The document describes the system architecture, including the Multi Accelerator Platform Engine for Baseband 2 (MAPLE-B2), a dedicated Security Engine (SEC), and the Chip-Level Arbitration and Switching System (CLASS). It covers memory subsystems such as L1/L2 caches and the DDR-SDRAM controller, alongside high-speed serial interfaces including Serial RapidIO, PCI Express, and the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). Additional sections detail the QUICC Engine subsystem for Ethernet and SPI, DMA controllers, timers, and general-purpose I/O configurations.
Use Cases
- Broadband wireless access infrastructure
- Baseband processing for cellular networks
- High-speed signal processing
- LTE and WiMAX base station design
- Secure wireless communication systems
