SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
March 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), a world leader in storage,
cloud infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity and
multimedia semiconductor solutions, today announced its most
advanced mainstream printer system-on-chip (SoC), the Marvell®
88PA6220. This 28nm SoC delivers breakthrough performance at a low
system cost by integrating a dual-core ARM® Cortex® A53 (64-bit)
processor running at 1.0GHz, dual-channel configurable scan and
print pipelines, a high-performance 2D/3D GPU, and an integrated GE
Ethernet MAC and PHY. The 88PA6220 also introduces Marvell's
revolutionary modular chip (MoChi™) architecture into the Printer
SoC family, extending the I/O capabilities of the 88PA6220 through
the growing portfolio of Marvell connectivity and expansion
solutions. As the industry leader in printing SoCs, Marvell's
88PA6220 sets a new standard for mainstream performance with over
140 pages per minute (ppm) page description language (PDL)
rendering. Additionally, the printer SoC rounds out Marvell's
Printer product line at a price/performance point below the
recently announced 88PA6270, a high performance Quad-Core SoC for
the enterprise Printer/MFP market. These advancements further
establish Marvell's printer technology leadership and reflect its
commitment to driving the industry forward with new capabilities,
lower solution cost, and the fastest time-to-market.
The 88PA6220 will power some of the industry's fastest and
highest quality mainstream multi-function printers (MFPs) and
copiers supporting a variety of printing technologies, including
ink, laser, and LED technologies. The 88PA6220 Development Kit
includes a hardware evaluation board and shares the same Software
Development Kit (SDK) with the 88PA6270.
"The 88PA6220 joins Marvell's market-leading family of printer
SoCs, establishing new performance and integration standards for
the entire industry," said Mark
Montierth, Vice President and General Manager, Custom and
Computing Solutions Business Unit at Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.
"Packed with advanced features and unprecedented system
integration, the 88PA6220 reflects Marvell's strong commitment to
maintain market dominance and enable continued innovation for our
printer customers. The integrated PCIe, USB3, and new 8Gb/s
per lane MoChi interfaces are powerful expansion features that
enable a single printer platform to extend across a broad range of
products and give our customers confidence in the 88PA6220's
abilities to meet their needs now and in the future."
The 88PA6220 Development Kit includes a fully tested hardware
development environment, complete Linux Software Development Kit,
detailed documentation and application notes, reference designs, a
full family of wireless connectivity solutions, power management
ICs, consumables security system, and code security system. This
kit enables customers to easily develop complete, full-featured,
high-performance and cost-effective products.
The 88PA6220 sets a new standard for performance in the printer
industry:
- 28nm LP process technology
- Dual-core ARM Cortex A53 (ARMv8 64-bit) processor with a 256KB
L2 cache
- Page processing speeds of over 140 pages per minute, as
measured with Global Graphics® PDL interpreters and the J11.ppt
industry standard performance test file rendering 600 dpi color
pages
- Dedicated dual-channel imaging hardware pipeline. The pipeline
is configurable but always runs at a blazing fast
200MPixels/second.
- 2x JBIG codec + 2x JBIG decoders +1x JPEG codec
- Hardware blocks for image sensor error calibration and
correction, image quality optimization, compression/decompression,
and native support for dual sided scanning and copying
- A powerful Vivante® GC400LT GPU provides fast, smooth 2D/3D
graphics support
- Three additional 32-bit ARM CPUs for user customization,
real-time mechanism control, low power standby and co-processor
functions
- Dedicated Direct Engine Control hardware (DEC) provides
real-time control of critical printer functions such as laser video
signals or LED arrays, laser scanners, fusers, motors, sensors, and
CIS scanner controls
MoChi technology: A new level of design flexibility
Marvell's MoChi technology, and growing family of MoChi
Southbridge chips, provides product designers with unprecedented
product design flexibility. As new I/O standards emerge, new
Southbridge chips are added to the family and can be adopted by
OEMs with the 88PA6220. Marvell's MoChi architecture is
designed to save cost, offering scalable features targeted at
different price points.
Designed to deliver a complete solution:
- Built-in security hardware to authenticate and monitor
consumables, the 88PA6220 works seamlessly with Marvell's PA810, an
advanced and cost-effective consumable security chip
- Platform and SDK support for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, NFC, 802.3
(GigE), and Bluetooth 4.0 advanced connectivity
