AR7242: A High Performance And Cost-Effective Network
Processor
General Description
The Atheros AR7242 is a high performance
and cost effective network processor for access
point, router, and gateway applications. It
includes a MIPS 24Kc processor, PCI Express
1.1 host interface, integrated 10/100 Mbps
Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY, one RGMII port,
one USB 2.0 MAC/PHY, and external memory
interface for serial Flash, DDR1 or DDR2
interface, an I2S audio interface, a high-speed
UART, and GPIOs that can be used for LED
controls or other general purpose interface
configurations.
The AR7242 is a memory-centric architecture
including various DMA controlled interfaces
that access the DDR memory.
The AR7242 network processor, when paired
with the AR928x/AR938x/AR939x single
chip 802.11n MAC/BB/Radio family,
provides the best-in-class WLAN solution
capable of supporting 802.11b/g/n standards.
Features
■ Integrated MIPS 24 K 32-bit processor
operating at up to 400 MHz
■ 64 K instruction cache and 32 K data cache
■ Integrated 10/100 802.3 Ethernet LAN port
and one RGMII port
■ 16-bit DDR1 or DDR2 memory interface
supporting up to 400 M transfers per
second
■ An external serial Flash memory interface
(maximum 16 MBytes)
■ One USB 2.0 controller with built-in MAC/
PHY
■ High-speed UART and multiple GPIO pins
for general purpose I/O or LED control
■ A single lane PCI Express 1.1 interface that
can be used for interfacing to the AR928x/
AR938x/AR939x single chip 802.11n
MAC/BB/Radio
■ JTAG port support for processor core
■ 14 mm x 14 mm 128-pin LQFP lead-free
package
