Product details
Overview
KMC8112TVT2400V from Freescale Semiconductor is a dual-core StarCore® SC140 DSP processor with 448 Kbyte on-chip SRAM (M1), 475 Kbyte M2 memory, integrated Ethernet MAC (10/100 Mbps MII/RMII), four TDM interfaces, and FC-PBGA–431 package. It targets telecom infrastructure baseband processing, voice-over-IP gateways, and wireless access equipment requiring deterministic real-time signal handling.
For engineers reviewing the KMC8112TVT2400V datasheet, KMC8112TVT2400V pinout, KMC8112TVT2400V application, or KMC8112TVT2400V equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core SC140 instruction set compatibility, 431-ball FC-PBGA mechanical footprint, 1.1 V core / 3.3 V I/O supply requirements, and support for glueless SDRAM, TDM codecs, and DSI host interface.
Technical Context
The KMC8112TVT2400V integrates two independent StarCore® SC140 DSP extended cores, each with 224 Kbyte M1 SRAM, 16-way 16 Kbyte instruction cache, and programmable interrupt controller. Core operation is synchronized to an internal PLL configured at reset via hardware pins.
It features a 128-bit MQBus connecting both cores to 475 Kbyte shared M2 memory, a 64/32-bit system bus supporting multi-master burst transfers, and a 32/64-bit Direct Slave Interface (DSI) enabling external host access to internal resources including M1 and M2 memories without CPU intervention.

Pinout & Package
FC-PBGA–431 package, 20 mm × 20 mm body, 0.8 mm ball pitch, bottom-soldered interposer-based construction optimized for high-speed signal integrity and thermal dissipation in dense telecom PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD / VDDH | Core and I/O power supply | Separate 1.1 V (VDD/VCCSYN) and 3.3 V (VDDH) rails require independent decoupling; VDDH powers all digital I/O including DSI, system bus, TDM, and Ethernet PHY interface |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the KMC8112TVT2400V?
The KMC8112TVT2400V operates at a maximum core frequency of 300 MHz, as confirmed by its part number suffix "2400V" (indicating 2400 MIPS aggregate performance) and validated in the datasheet's recommended operating conditions and AC timing tables. This frequency is sustained under full load at junction temperatures up to +105 °C with proper thermal design using the specified FC-PBGA–431 package.
Does the KMC8112TVT2400V support booting from external flash memory?
Yes, the KMC8112TVT2400V supports booting from external memory via its flexible boot configuration. The device can initialize from external parallel memory (e.g., NOR flash) connected to the system bus, as well as from UART, TDM, I²C EEPROM, or internal boot ROM. Boot mode is selected using hardware strap pins (HWBS[7:0]) during reset assertion.
How many TDM channels does the KMC8112TVT2400V support simultaneously?
The KMC8112TVT2400V integrates four independent TDM modules, each configurable for 2-, 4-, 8-, or 16-bit word size and supporting hardware A-law/μ-law conversion. These modules collectively handle up to 128 Mbps aggregate data rate and provide glueless interface to E1/T1 framers, H-MVIP/H.110 devices, TSI switches, and audio codecs such as AC-97.
What is the function of the Direct Slave Interface (DSI) on the KMC8112TVT2400V?
The Direct Slave Interface (DSI) on the KMC8112TVT2400V is a 32/64-bit synchronous or asynchronous slave port that allows an external host processor (e.g., ARM-based controller) to directly access internal resources-including M1 SRAM, M2 RAM, and peripheral registers-without involving either SC140 core. This enables efficient host-DSP co-processing architectures common in telecom gateway designs.
What are the power supply requirements for the KMC8112TVT2400V?
The KMC8112TVT2400V requires two distinct power supplies: a 1.07–1.13 V core/PLL rail (VDD/VCCSYN) and a 3.135–3.465 V I/O rail (VDDH). DC electrical characteristics specify typical core current of 554 mW at 300 MHz, with Wait and Stop modes drawing 375 mA and 290 mA respectively. Decoupling must follow Freescale's layout guidelines, including dedicated VDDH planes and low-ESR capacitors near all power balls.
