KMPC8272VRTIEA

The KMPC8272VRTIEA is a single‑core PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor operating at 400 MHz, supplied in a 516‑ball PBGA (27×27 mm) surface‑mount package. It integrates a 32‑bit core with memory management and cache support, plus dedicated communications and security subsystems, making it suited for embedded consumer applications that require balanced compute, networking and hardware security.

Designed within the MPC8272 PowerQUICC II family, this device combines a dual‑issue integer core architecture with on‑chip communications processing and an integrated security engine to simplify system design and reduce external component count.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC G2_LE 32‑bit single core running at 400 MHz with dual‑issue integer architecture for efficient instruction throughput.
• Caches & MMU On‑chip instruction and data caches (16 KB I‑Cache, 16 KB D‑Cache) and integrated memory management units to improve code execution and memory protection.
• Communications Processing Integrated Communications Processor Module (CPM) and multi‑channel controller resources for control of serial and communication interfaces.
• Security Integrated Security Engine (SEC) with cryptography and a hardware random number generator for accelerating encryption and secure operations.
• Memory Controllers Built‑in DRAM and SDRAM controllers to interface with external system memory.
• Networking & I/O Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers, one USB 2.0 full/low‑rate port, and I2C support for peripheral control and connectivity.
• System Integration PCI bridge capability and on‑chip peripherals (as provided in the MPC8272 family) help reduce board complexity and BOM.
• Electrical & Mechanical 3.3 V I/O signaling, 516‑ball PBGA package (27×27 mm), surface‑mount mounting for compact system layouts.
• Operating Range & Compliance Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental standards.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Appliances Use the dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers and CPM to build routers, gateways, and WAN/LAN communication modules.
• Secure Communications Leverage the integrated security engine and RNG to implement encrypted data paths and secure device authentication.
• USB‑Connected Devices Employ the USB 2.0 interface for peripheral connectivity and host/device functions in consumer embedded systems.
• General Embedded Control Combine the 400 MHz PowerPC core with DRAM/SDRAM controllers and I2C to handle control, monitoring, and user‑interface tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications and security: On‑chip CPM and SEC reduce the need for discrete controllers and accelerators, simplifying board design.
• Balanced compute and I/O: A 400 MHz PowerPC core with dedicated caches and multiple network interfaces provides predictable performance for embedded workloads.
• Compact PBGA package: 516‑ball PBGA (27×27 mm) enables dense, surface‑mount system implementations while keeping routing manageable.
• Memory subsystem support: Built‑in DRAM/SDRAM controllers and MMU support streamline system memory integration and improve software flexibility.
• Security acceleration: Hardware cryptography and a random number generator accelerate secure operations and offload the CPU for higher overall throughput.
• Standards‑oriented I/O: Ethernet, USB 2.0 and I2C interfaces provide common connectivity options for a wide range of embedded designs.
