  • The MAPLE-B2 supports Turbo decoding including rate matching supporting up to 330 Mb/s for 3GLTE, up to 300 Mb/s for WiMAX and up to 260 Mbps in UMTS at eight full iterations; Turbo encoding: information bits encoding including rate matching up to 900 Mbps for 3GLTE and WiMAX and up to 450 Mbps for UMTS; Viterbi decoding up to 200 Mbps for K=9, zero tailing and up to 175 Mbps for K=7 tail biting; FFT/iFFT processing supporting up to 960 Msps; DFT/iDFT processing supporting up to 630 Msps; CRC check and insertion supporting up to 10 Gbps.
  • DMA controller with 16 bidirectional channel pairs
  • Internal data profiling for optimizing data throughput during development
  • Dual RISC core QUICC Engine® subsystem supporting two SGMII/RGMII ports and serial peripheral interface (SPI)
  • HSSI complex with OCN fabric, two 4-channel DMA controllers, two Serial RapidIO® ports, an enhanced messaging unit and 10 SerDes lanes multiplexing two Serial RapidIO x4/x2/x1 interfaces up to five Gbaud, PCI Express® x4/x2/x1 interface, six CPRI channels, and two SGMIIs.
  • Eight programmable hardware semaphores to manage resources
  • Other serial interfaces: UART, timers, I²C, GPIO, interrupts and JTAG
  • Power supplies: Core power: 1-volt nominal, I/O power, 1.0-volt, 1.5-volt and 2.5-volt nominal
  • Flip chip-plastic ball grid array (FC-PBGA), 783-ball, 1 mm pitch, 29 mm × 29 mm.
  • Optional security engine (E version only) to provide data encryption/decryption capability. Supports Kasumi f8/f9, AES-128 and AES-256, SNOW and other protocols.
