Marvell 88PA6270 Quad-Core MFP Printer SoC
ARM Cortex A53 Quad-Core, 3D GPU, HW Image Pipeline
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® 88PA6270 is a highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution for the enterprise class color and monochrome
single or multi-function printers. The 88PA6270 combines powerful processing with a host of I/O capabilities and dedicated
imaging hardware to deliver high performance and excellent image quality.
The 88PA6270 integrates a powerful quad core 1.2 GHz ARM® A53 processor to handle all the application processing and PDL
rendering requirements. The 88PA6270 also includes a highly-configurable, hardware pipeline supporting imaging functions for
scan/copy/print. Functions include image data correction and filtering, color space transformations and multiple half-toning
methods. The 88PA6270 drives multiple printing technologies and incorporates print engine technology-specific operations like
laser trapping and inkjet depletion. With pixel processing rates of up 200 Megapixel/sec, the 88PA6270 supports even the fastest
printing needs. The direct engine control interface supplies highly integrated motion control of print and scan mechanisms and
print engine output, thereby reducing overall system cost and complexity.
The 88PA6270 integrates key system interfaces including a multi-lane, multi-channel PCIe Gen2, USB 3.0, integrated Gigabit
Ethernet and a 3x SDIO interfaces for memory card and Marvell Wi-Fi solutions. In addition, the 88PA6270 integrates support for
many different serial peripheral interfaces including SPI, 16550-compatible UARTs, and I2C for external fax/modem, Bluetooth, etc.
User interfaces are supported by an integrated LCD controller (parallel or LVDS), and on-board GPU.
The 88PA6270 is well suited for related applications, such as 3D printing, or use as an Application Processor.
Marvell provides a complete hardware development platform, Linux® software development kit (SDK), and the Marvell Kinoma®
JavaScript development platform thereby reducing development complexity and enabling customers to quickly deliver products
to market.
