Product details
Overview
MSC7116VM800 from Freescale Semiconductor is a StarCore® SC1400-based digital signal processor featuring a 266 MHz DSP core, 384 KB on-chip SRAM (192 KB M1 + 192 KB M2), integrated DDR memory controller supporting 133 MHz operation, and dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MACs. It serves as a low-cost, high-integration baseband and packet-processing engine in VoIP gateways, TDM-over-IP edge devices, and multi-channel voice/data concentrators.
For engineers reviewing the MSC7116VM800 datasheet, MSC7116VM800 pinout, MSC7116VM800 application, or MSC7116VM800 equivalent, key selection considerations include its MAP-BGA–400 package with 17 mm × 17 mm footprint, AHB-Lite crossbar architecture enabling concurrent peripheral access, fieldBIST™ structural integrity testing, and boot flexibility via HDI16, I²C, or SPI interfaces.
Technical Context
The MSC7116VM800 integrates a single SC1400 DSP core with 16-way 16 KB instruction cache, four-entry write buffer, and programmable interrupt controller. Its AHB-Lite crossbar switch supports parallel transfers across four master and six slave ports, with configurable priority and bus parking per slave port.
It features two independent TDM modules supporting up to 128 channels at 50 Mbps each, hardware A-law/μ-law conversion, and glueless E1/T1/MVIP interface capability. The DDR controller implements byte enables, 14-bit address bus (up to 1 GB), and SSTL-2 I/O compliance for 133 MHz DDR-RAM interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Frequency | Up to 266 MHz - enables real-time processing of 128+ VoIP channels with echo cancellation and transcoding. |
| On-chip Memory | 384 KB SRAM (192 KB M1 + 192 KB M2) - eliminates external SRAM for critical code/data buffers in compact designs. |
| DDR Interface | 133 MHz DDR-RAM support with 14-bit address bus - provides up to 1 GB external memory space with glueless SSTL-2 interface. |
| Ethernet MACs | Dual 10/100 Mbps MII/RMII controllers - supports redundant LAN links or separate control/data plane traffic without external PHY arbitration. |
| TDM Capacity | 2 × TDM modules, up to 128 total channels, 50 Mbps per module - enables full E1 (32-ch) or T1 (24-ch) frame handling per port with hardware timing recovery. |
| Host Interface | HDI16 16-bit host data interface (8-bit compatible) - allows direct, glueless connection to legacy microcontrollers or DSPs like DSP56300. |
| Power Supply | VDDC = 1.14–1.26 V, VDDM = 2.38–2.63 V, VDDIO = 3.14–3.47 V - requires three regulated rails; typical power draw is 293 mW at 266 MHz. |
Pinout & Package
MSC7116VM800 uses a MAP-BGA–400 package with 17 mm × 17 mm body size and 0.8 mm ball pitch. Pin assignments follow the documented ball grid layout (top/bottom views in Rev. 13 datasheet), with dedicated banks for DDR signals (DQ/DQS/CK/CKE/RAS/CAS), TDM I/O (T0RFS/T0TCK/T1RD/etc.), Ethernet (MII/RMII pins), and programmable GPIO (41 total).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| MDC / MDIO | PHY Management | IEEE 802.3-compliant serial management interface for configuring external Ethernet PHYs (e.g., DP83848). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FieldBIST™ Structural Test | On-chip logic detects latent manufacturing defects and monitors structural integrity during field operation - reduces need for external test infrastructure in carrier-grade systems. |
| AHB-Lite Crossbar Switch | Enables concurrent DMA-to-memory, Ethernet-to-SRAM, and TDM-to-internal-buffer transfers without bus contention - improves real-time determinism in multi-protocol stacks. |
| Programmable Boot Sources | Supports boot from SPI Flash, I²C EEPROM, or external host via HDI16 - simplifies firmware update workflows and enables secure boot chain integration. |
| Low-Power Stop Mode | Core and peripherals enter deep sleep while retaining SRAM contents and wake-up event detection - extends uptime in battery-backed remote access concentrators. |
| UART @ 5.0 Mbps | High-speed debug/console interface with fractional baud rate generation - enables real-time trace logging and firmware diagnostics without impacting main DSP load. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DSP-with-peripherals applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSC8122VRAG | Higher-performance StarCore SC3400 core (up to 600 MHz), 512 KB L2 cache, no integrated DDR controller - requires external memory interface. | Targeted at high-channel-count media gateways (>256 VoIP channels) with complex transcoding; lacks native DDR support. | Select when raw MIPS/Watt exceeds 266 MHz SC1400 capability and external DDR is acceptable for cost/performance trade-off. |
| TI TMS320C6455ZTZ | VLIW C64x+ core (up to 1 GHz), 1 MB L2 RAM, EMIF supporting DDR2/SDRAM - no integrated TDM or Ethernet MACs. | Requires external TDM framer (e.g., DS2155) and PHYs; better suited for compute-intensive radar/audio than integrated telecom I/O. | Select when algorithmic throughput dominates I/O integration needs, and board space permits discrete interface ICs. |
Compared with MSC8122VRAG and TMS320C6455ZTZ, the MSC7116VM800 delivers optimal balance of integrated TDM/Ethernet/DDR for mid-scale VoIP and industrial gateway designs - reducing component count by 7–9 ICs while maintaining deterministic real-time response under 100 Mbps aggregate traffic.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR clock frequency supported by the MSC7116VM800?
The MSC7116VM800 supports DDR clock frequencies up to 133 MHz, as specified in Table 6 of the Rev. 13 datasheet. This enables a peak theoretical bandwidth of 532 MB/s on a 32-bit data bus. The DDR interface complies with JEDEC SSTL-2 standards and requires proper VREF and VTT termination matching to VDDM.
Does the MSC7116VM800 include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No, the MSC7116VM800 integrates dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MACs only - it requires external PHYs (e.g., NXP KSZ8041 or Microchip LAN8720) connected via MII or RMII. The device provides MDIO/MDC, TX_CLK, RX_DV, CRS, and other standard PHY interface signals.
How many TDM channels can the MSC7116VM800 handle simultaneously?
The MSC7116VM800 supports up to 128 TDM channels across its two independent TDM modules, with each module capable of up to 50 Mbps data rate and programmable word size (8 or 16 bits). Hardware A-law/μ-law conversion and frame sync flexibility enable direct E1/T1 framing without external framer ICs.
What boot options are available for the MSC7116VM800?
The MSC7116VM800 supports multiple boot sources: internal boot ROM (8 KB), external SPI Flash or I²C EEPROM (up to 1 MB), or host processor via HDI16 interface (8-bit or 16-bit mode). Boot configuration is controlled by strap pins and can be reprogrammed in-field using the boot ROM's serial loader.
Is the MSC7116VM800 pin-compatible with other members of the MSC71xx family?
No, the MSC7116VM800 is not pin-compatible with other MSC71xx variants such as MSC7122 or MSC7144. While sharing the same MAP-BGA–400 package outline, ball assignments differ significantly - particularly for DDR, TDM, and Ethernet signals - requiring unique PCB layouts for each variant.
