PowerQUICC

PowerQUICC processors are used in networking, automotive, industrial, storage, printing and consumer applications.

It is a single issue, four stage pipelined core with MMU and branch prediction unit with speeds up to 133 MHz.

The QUICC communication processor module (CPM) offloads networking tasks from the CPU, thus branding this family as PowerQUICC.

These communications processors are used in applications like VoIP systems, telecom switches, cellular base stations and DSLAMs.

PowerQUICC II Pro is used as networking processors for routers, switches, printers, network-attached storage, wireless access points and DSLAMs.

PowerQUICC II Pro processors reaches 677 MHz, and can include a multitude of embedded technologies like USB, PCI, Ethernet and security devices.

It has a dual issue, seven-stage pipeline with double precision FPUs, 32/32 KiB data and instruction L1 caches, multiple Gigabit Ethernet, PCI and PCIe, RapidIO, DDR/DDR2 memory controllers, and security accelerators.

These processors target enterprise level networking and telecom applications, high end storage, printing and imaging.
