Dream It, Design It, Build It-Integrating Power ArchitectureTM e200 Cores
Overview:
Power Architecture™ core IP is now more broadly available for open licensing, enabling system-on-chip (SoC) designers to leverage this flexible technology for a wide assortment of applications. Freescale's e200 Power Architecture core family, now available through independent licensing expert IPextreme, is an example of this new industry enablement. This core family is proven in many automotive applications and is ideal for a broad range of other applications such as industrial control, medical devices, compact networking solutions, digital home solutions, avionics and robotics.

The e200 core family has four members that span a useful price-performance range. This webcast will examine the core family and compare performance and capabilities of the cores. It will highlight in particular Power ISA features and standard technologies, such as the AMBA® bus, that make the cores easy to integrate with other technologies.

This webcast will also discuss how to efficiently integrate e200 cores into embedded applications. A description of the logical interfaces will highlight the various types of bus cycles that are seen on the system bus. Considerations on how to create a memory subsystem for various applications and performance goals will be discussed for the four cores offered in the e200 family. The e200 core registers will also be described in this context.

Finally, the webcast will conclude with how a complete set of deliverables including the source code, scripts, integration tests, documentation and appropriate software, will accelerate integration; and how delivering the IP in an EDA neutral format increases ease of use.

Trent Poltronetti

Trent has been a part of the semiconductor industry since the late 80s. Before joining IPextreme, Trent was key in establishing Synchronicity Inc as the leading supplier of semiconductor design collaboration and IP reuse software, by accelerating their sales cycle, repackaging their products and building awareness. Through the mid 90's, Trent held a similar role at microprocessor licensing leader ARM plc, ramping up much of their marketing from startup to the worldwide team that led up to their IPO. Prior to joining ARM, Trent was part of an investment banking team at a technology brokerage that helped ARM secure early funding. Trent has a Computer Engineering Degree and MBA from the University of Manitoba.

Frank Miller, Technical Project Manager, Worldwide Design, Freescale Semiconductor
Frank is currently the technical project manager for Freescale's Power Architecture e200 and e500 core families. Prior to that, he was design manager for the e200 core family. During his tenure at Motorola and Freescale, he also worked on design teams for the MCORE 32-bit embedded CPUs, cache and MMU memory subsystems, and DRAMS and Fast SRAMS. He holds a BSEE from the University of Michigan.
