The MSC8113 device is a highly integrated system-on-a-chip that combines three StarCore® SC140 cores,1024-channel time division multiplexing (TDM) with hardware support for /A-law decoding/encoding, a UART, a 16-channel DMA controller, an Ethernet controller, 1436 Kbyte of SRAM, and a flexible system interface unit (SIU). The MSC8113 device targets high-bandwidth, highly computational DSP applications and is optimized for high-bandwidth wireless transcoding and a high-density packet telephony DSP farm, as well as high-bandwidth base station applications. The MSC8113 delivers enhanced performance while maintaining low power dissipation and greatly reducing system cost. The MSC8113 is provided in two frequencies: 300 and 400 MHz.
Each SC140 core has four ALUs and performs at a rate of up to 1200/1600 DSP million multiply and accumulate commands per second (MMACS) with an internal 300/400 MHz clock at 1.1 V. The MSC8113 delivers a total performance of 3600/4800 DSP MMACS. Each SC140 core connects to a level-1 224 Kbyte internal memory (M1) for program and data storage as well as a 16 Kbyte, 16-way instruction cache and a 4-entry write buffer queue for boosting core performance. All the SC140 cores share an internal 476Kbyte level 2 memory (M2).
The TDM interface can transfer up to 1024 channels in and out of the device. The Ethernet controller port can be used for board-level interconnect and connection between boards. A full-featured multi-master 60x-compatible system port enables the SC140 cores to access external devices and gives an external host direct access to the internal memories. A flexible memory controller supports glueless accesses to various
memory devices on the system bus, including SDRAM, DRAM, SRAM, Flash memory, EPROM, and user-definable memory. An external host can also access the MSC8113 device directly through a 32/64-bit direct slave interface (DSI) port. A flexible 16-channel DMA controller transfers data to and from the core M1, the M2 memory, and the serial interfaces.
MSC8113 Tri-Core Digital Signal Processor
The MSC8113 is a highly integrated system-on-a-chip that combines three StarCore SC140 extended cores with an RS-232 serial interface, four time-division multiplexed (TDM) serial interfaces, thirty-two general-purpose timers, a flexible system interface unit (SIU), an Ethernet interface, and a multi-channel DMA controller. The three extended cores can deliver a total 3600/4800 DSP MMACS performance at 300/400 MHz.
Each core has four arithmetic logic units (ALUs), internal memory, a write buffer, and two interrupt controllers. The MSC8113 targets high-bandwidth highly computational DSP applications and is optimized for wireless transcoding and packet telephony as well as high-bandwidth base station applications. The MSC8113 delivers enhanced performance while maintaining low power dissipation and greatly reduces system cost.
The MSC8113 device is designed to provide an optimal solution for 3G wireless base stations, to help eliminate many of the costly and power hungry ASICs and FPGAs required in todays systems for both symbol rate and for chip rate assist. In addition, the MSC8113 device allows customers to add next-generation features that efficiently use available frequencies and higher bit rates in 3G systems.

Example Application: 672 G.711-Channel Media Gateway
The Media Gateway application shown in Figure 1 can process ~512 G.711 channels. The IP interface uses either UTOPIA or 100BaseT connected to the MSC8103 device that is the array aggregator. The MSC8113 performs the translation between the packet world and the PSTN world and the synchronous data is connected to the PSTN world through the TDM interface with a time slot assigner translating to protocols such as H.110 and MVIP. The MSC8103 DMA controller directly accesses the M1 and the M2 memories of the MSC8113 device through its local bus using its UPM. In parallel, it uses its system interface for accessing its SDRAM and flash. In this application 32-bit data DSI is sufficient, so the MSC8113 system bus can support up to 64-bit data. The user can use either a 32-bit wide SDRAM or two 32-bit SDRAM devices for storing channels and code, depending on the bandwidth need. The controller in this application is the MPC8260, and it accesses the MSC8103 HDI16 through its local bus while locating its memories on its system bus. Note that when premium voice is processed, each MSC8113 device performs fewer channels, so more devices can be connected to the MSC8103 device.
