Marvell powered digital home platforms are designed to provide home networking, storage, and media server controller solutions for the consumer, Small Office/Home Office (SOHO), and Small and Medium-Sized Business (SMB) markets. Delivering scalability, performance, and integration, Marvell digital home platforms address the requirements of today’s digital lifestyle by providing instant access to rich multimedia content and data throughout the home and beyond.

Based on Marvell’s ARM-instruction set compliant, high-performance, custom-designed 88F6000 series system-on-chips (SoCs), the digital home family features multi-gigahertz-class processors that meet the performance demands of various network storage and media serving applications. The processors are optimized for I/O applications by integrating Marvell mixed-signal interfaces with a high-performance internal bus architecture. The unparalleled level of SoC integration includes a DDR2 memory controller, an internal 256KB L2-cache, a security engine, a USB 2.0 port that supports both host and device modes, a PCI Express port, two SATA 2.0 ports, two TDM interfaces, a 2-channel I2S interface, an MPEG-TS interface and two Gigabit Ethernet MAC ports with either RGMII or GMII interfaces. The wide array of supported interfaces enables easy-to-use storage expansion. Additional system expansion options include graphics, multimedia devices, home networking technologies such as MoCA, HPNA, HomePlug, Ethernet AVB, and emerging 802.11n wireless applications.
