Marvell Scales its System Controller for Networking Applications

Marvell introduced its Discovery III line-up of system controllers targeted at routers, switches and wireless base stations, as well as storage and laser printer applications. Keeping pace with the continuous improvement of processors, the new system controllers support the 200 MHz interface for next generation high performance PowerPC and MIPS CPUs. Marvell's new devices have received support from leading CPU vendors, such as IBM, Motorola, and PMC-Sierra. The Discovery III system controller integrates several I/O peripherals on-chip, including Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-X bridges, storage functions and DDR memory interface. The Discovery III is software compatible with the existing Marvell system controllers.
