DSP chip combines four cores with big
memory

The MSC8144 provides an optimal DSP solution for wireline infrastructure applications, such as carrier-class trunking, enterprise VoIP media gateways and video conferencing servers.

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced its third-generation multicore DSP based on next-generation SC3400 StarCore technology The new MSC8144 DSP is engineered to deliver leading-edge performance, reduce system costs and significantly increase channel densities for next-generation wireline and wireless infrastructure applications providing voice, video and data services

The MSC8144 provides an optimal DSP solution for wireline infrastructure applications, such as carrier-class trunking, enterprise VoIP media gateways and video conferencing servers.

Wireless applications served by the MSC8144 include wireless voice transcoding and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) gateways, video multi-point conferencing units, baseband cards for 3G, Super 3G and WiMax basestations, and Layer 2 processing in radio network controllers (RNCs).

"A prime example of network convergence is 'access anywhere' communications, enabled by IMS gateways", said Lynelle McKay, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Digital Systems Division.
