• On-chip Caches  Separate 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches; four-way set associative, physically addressed with LRU replacement.
• Memory Controllers  Integrated DRAM and SDRAM controllers to support external system memory.
• Communications and I/O  Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers and one USB 2.0 full/low-rate port provide robust network and host connectivity.
• Serial and Communications Engines  Multiple serial communications controllers (SCCs) and on-chip communications co-processors including a RISC CPM for communications tasks.
• System Interfaces  Additional interfaces include I2C and PCI bridge support as defined in the MPC8280 hardware specification.
• Voltage and Mounting  3.3 V I/O signaling and surface-mount 480-TBGA package (480-LBGA exposed pad option noted) for high-density board designs.
• Operating Temperature and Qualification  Industrial qualification with operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C for demanding environments.
• Standards and Architecture  Power Architecture®-compliant core and system memory architecture consistent with the MPC8280 family specifications.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications  Platform-level processing and multi-port Ethernet support for networked embedded systems and edge appliances.
• Industrial Control  Deterministic single-core performance and industrial temperature rating for control and automation equipment.
• Networking Equipment  Integrated Ethernet controllers, serial communications controllers and PCI support for routers, gateways, and protocol converters.
• Peripheral and Interface Hubs  USB 2.0, I2C and multiple serial interfaces for device bridging, management processors, and I/O aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated communications peripherals: Combines multiple Ethernet ports, USB, SCCs and I2C with on-chip memory controllers to reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Engineered for industrial environments: Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 105 °C operating range support reliable operation in temperature‑sensitive deployments.
