Product Overview
The 88AP310-BGK2 belongs to Marvell PXA3xx (Monahans) multimedia processor family, inherited from Intel XScale PXA series after Marvell acquired Intel’s embedded processor business in Nov 2006. Built on 65nm process with XScale ARMv5TE core running up to 624MHz, this system-on-chip targets portable handheld, biometric, industrial HMI and battery-powered embedded equipment.
On-chip dedicated video hardware accelerates H.264 Baseline, MPEG-4, VC-1/WMV9 decoding to offload main CPU. Dynamic voltage & frequency scaling (DVFS) and multi-level sleep modes drastically extend battery life. Packaged in compact LFBGA-340, it integrates full set of display, camera, memory and serial peripherals to reduce BOM cost and PCB size.
Core Advantages
Dedicated Hardware Multimedia Acceleration
Independent video/audio co-processor eliminates CPU overload during media playback, lowering power consumption and device heat.
Dynamic Low-Power Management
Adaptive clock and voltage adjustment with multiple deep standby modes, optimized for battery-operated portable hardware.
Fully Integrated Peripheral Hub
Native interfaces for LCD display, camera sensor, flash/SDRAM/DDR memory, USB, SDIO, I2S, I2C, UART and SPI, no extra bridge IC required.
Mature Stable Embedded Platform
Proven long-lifecycle architecture with complete official driver support, ideal for mass production long-term embedded projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are your stocked 88AP310-BGK2 chips original brand new?
A: All inventory is 100% factory-original new parts packed in Marvell standard JEDEC anti-static trays. Every batch passes incoming visual and solder ball inspection before shipment.
Q2: What is the origin of Marvell PXA3xx processor series?
A: PXA XScale architecture was originally developed by Intel. Marvell completed acquisition of Intel’s communication & application processor business in November 2006, then launched the upgraded PXA3xx (Monahans) series including 88AP310.
Q3: Do I need external GPU chip to drive LCD screens with 88AP310-BGK2?
A: No external graphics IC required. The chip integrates native LCD controller and dedicated video decoder core, supporting direct connection to standard definition display panels to save PCB space and BOM cost.
Q4: How to obtain pinout files and volume tier pricing?
A: Fill in the inquiry form with your project specifications and required order quantity. Our embedded technical support will send official datasheet, pinout diagram and customized bulk quotation within 24 hours.
Q5: Is 88AP310-BGK2 a WiFi wireless chip?
A: No. 88AP310-BGK2 is a multimedia application processor (MCU SoC). Do not confuse it with Marvell WiFi RF chips with similar 88AP part prefixes.
