BCM5836P

Description

The BCM5836P processor is a flexible, low-power, single-chip processor that integrates the most requested security features with wirespeed performance, interfaces, and processing headroom to meet robust applications such as SOHO routers, SMB routers and switches, residential gateways, wireless access points, and VPN firewall appliances.

The BCM5836P integrates an advanced, custom 264-MHz MIPS32 processor core, two 10/100 Ethernet MACs, and a high-performance SDRAM controller capable of operating at 133 MHz with either Double Data Rate (DDR) or Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM. For advanced security, the BCM5836P integrates an on-chip IPSec acceleration engine that can deliver up to 75 Mbps of single-pass AES/3DES encryption throughput and supports a broad range of industry-standard security features such as symmetric-key encryption and authentication algorithms including the latest 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Digital Encryption Standard (DES), 3DES, SHA-1, MD5, HMAC-SHA1, and HMAC-MD5. These features of BCM5836P make this processor an obvious choice for SOHO/SMB networking customers who need both high bandwidth performance and advanced security features such as encryption and user authentication.
