• Power relays
• Power protection
• Uninterruptible power supplies
A new dimension in GPP and DSP integration
Overview
The QorIQ Qonverge BSC9131 and BSC9132 processors are highly integrated System on Chip (SoC)
devices targeting network-connected industrial nodes and other systems requiring the computational
power of a digital signal processor not met by off the shelf solutions today. The two devices combine
1-2 e500 cores, built on Power Architecture
®
technology and 1-2 StarCore SC3850 DSP cores, each
running up to 1.2 GHz with a rich set of peripherals. The SoCs feature our trust architecture, which
builds a fortress of on-chip security with tamper protection, secure boot and isolation of cores, in
addition to cryptographic acceleration engines for secure off-chip communications. The BSC9131
and BSC9132 SoCs also offer the integration of IEEE
®
1588v2 on dual Ethernet ports, enabling time
stamping and redundancy for various industrial networking applications.
The integration of processing cores provides the advantages of reducing required board space,
memory chip count and power by up to 50% versus discrete processing solutions. In addition,
the specialized processing of heterogeneous cores can allow you to move from expensive ASIC
designs to a more programmable, off-the-shelf solution and, as part of the larger QorIQ family,
the BSC9131 and BSC9132 SoCs software compatible with more than 100 other Freescale
communications processors, giving you the ability to reuse code and protect your software

research and design investment. The
BSC9131 and BSC9132 SoCs also include
the MAPLE block for hardware acceleration
of common DSP functions such as fast
Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform
and turbo Viterbi decoding.
The QorIQ Qonverge line of products has
a proven set of hardware and software
tools for code development and debug.
The CodeWarrior Development Studio is
a comprehensive integrated development
environment (IDE) that provides a highly
visual and automated framework to accelerate
the development of the most complex
embedded applications. The CodeWarrior
tools allow a consistent look and feel for
developing code on both cores as opposed to
competing solutions that may require multiple
debugging platforms. In addition to the IDE,
the BSC9131RDB and BSC9132QDS give
you the ability to develop and test code on
hardware systems before developing your
own hardware solution.
