Marvell Technology Group Ltd. announced its new PXA1088 LTE, the quad-core 5-mode Category 4 LTE single-chip solution supporting LTE TDD and FDD, High Speed Packet Access Plus (HSPA+), Time Division High Speed Packet Access Plus (TD-HSPA+) and Enhanced Data for GSM Environment (EDGE). Expanding its unified multi-core worldmode single-chip ARMADA(R) Mobile family, Marvell is making significant progress on LTE design wins with global Tier-1 OEMs. Marvell's advanced LTE modem technology is field proven and certified by major global operators, such as China Mobile. The PXA1088 LTE of Marvell's ARMADA Mobile family is designed to support the high levels of performance available in the industry with Category 4 throughputs of 150 Mbps DL (Down Link) and support for LTE in both FDD and TDD modes. Additionally, the PXA1088 LTE features mature and proven WCDMA and TD-SCDMA modem technology with a dual-radio dual link LTE voice solution, in addition to a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) voice solution. The Marvell PXA1088 platform incorporates the performance of a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 with advanced Avastar(R) wireless connectivity, including WLAN + Bluetooth 4.0 + FM single-chip SoC and the L2000 GNSS Hybrid Location Processor, as well as an integrated power management and audio codec IC.

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. announced new Marvell(R) Alaska(R) X PHY devices optimized for 10G and 40G optical and copper applications. As a market leader in the Ethernet PHY market, Marvell offers a broad portfolio of 10G and higher-speed products. The 88X2242, 88X2242M, 88X2222 and 88X2222M are designed to deliver comprehensive PHY capabilities, greatly simplifying board designs for next-generation software defined storage, networking, compute and mobility platforms. Responding to a sweeping industry trend toward higher density switch and server configurations, the 88X2242 and 88X2242M are designed to deliver support for one port of 40G QSFP+ or four ports of 10G SFP+ Ethernet connectivity. The 88X2222 and 88X2222M devices are designed to support two ports of 10G SFP+ connectivity. Primary benefits include ultra-low latency, wire-speed encryption for security and high reliability with port failover mechanisms. In addition, pin-compatibility across all four products provide for system design flexibility. All of the devices have built-in Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) and deliver connectivity over short reach (SR), long reach (LR), long reach over multi-mode (LRM) fiber, and Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cabling. Signature features include 802.1AE MACSec functionality, built-in redundancy support and flexible host interface options with support for XFI, RXAUI and XAUI. Marvell will showcase the Alaska X devices, which are in production and available now, at Interop as part of Marvell's line-up of end-to-end software defined storage, networking, compute and mobility solutions in meeting room Reef F at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, May 7-9.

Marvell Technology Group Ltd. introduced the Marvell(R) ARMADA(R) 375 System-on-Chip, a dual-core Cortex A9 SoC platform that builds on the highly successful ARMADA 370 and ARMADA XP families of embedded ARM processors for business networking applications. Marvell will be available to discuss the ARMADA 375 SoC at Interop as part of its unique line-up of end-to-end software defined storage, networking, compute and mobility solutions in meeting room Reef F at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas from May 7-9. The ARMADA 375 SoC, available in 800 MHz and 1 GHz speed, incorporates a host of I/O peripherals for seamless device integration while enabling high performance in a small form factor system design. By employing advanced design methodology, the ARMADA 375 SoC is also fully optimized to consume very low power for a wide range of applications including NAS platforms, networking applications and high-volume enterprise access points, all at a competitive price point. Beside USB 3.0 support and on-chip dual EEE Gigabit PHYs, the ARMADA 375 is designed to integrate a 32-bit DDR3/3L memory controller, a security engine, SATA 2.0 ports and dual PCI-Express interfaces to make system designs simple and economical. Marvell will offer complete development platforms for the ARMADA 375 enabling customers to begin system development without waiting for hardware. This includes networking software, which will include data path acceleration and a full set of control plane applications. Development platforms will be available in early Third Quarter 2013, including software drivers and board support packages. The ARMADA 375 SoC will begin sampling in June 2013.
