e2v has added to its range of high reliability system-on-chip devices based on the Freescale e600 Power core including dual-core high performance chips.

“The e600 Power Architecture is already massively used in image processing applications such as guidance, video processing, and aircraft cockpit displays,” said Eric Marcelot, e2v’s Hi-rel microprocessor marketing manager. 

The PC8641D is an extended-reliability version of the MPC8641D dual-core processor designed for data processing in radar, flight computers and graphic displays. It features two superscalar e600 cores running at up to 1250MHz in a military temperature range of -55 to +125 deg C. 

Another device, the PC8610 features a single e600 core running at up to 1333MHz with an embedded LCD controller supporting real-time display of 24 bits per pixel with a maximum resolution of SXGA (1280 x 1024).

The integrated DDR2 memory controller and the two PCI-Express ports are providing the bandwidth to feed the processor with data, while the 32-bit PCI2.2 bus supports connectivity to the legacy PCI subsystems.

The devices are manufactured on a 90nm process.
