• Memory Support: Integrated controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM to support a range of system memory configurations.
• Security Co‑processor: SEC 3.3 co‑processor plus on‑chip security features including cryptography and a random number generator.
• Ethernet: Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for high‑throughput network connectivity.
• SATA: Two Serial ATA 3 Gbps interfaces for direct attachment of storage devices.
• USB: One USB 2.0 port with integrated PHY for host or peripheral connectivity.
• System Integration: Designed as a highly integrated PowerQUICC II Pro family device (series MPC8315) suitable for host and I/O processor roles.
• Package & Mounting: Supplied in a 620‑HBGA (29×29) tray; surface mount package for compact board designs.
• Qualification: Consumer qualification as specified in product data.

Typical Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS): Dual SATA 3 Gbps interfaces and dual Gigabit Ethernet enable direct storage and network connectivity for NAS appliances.
• Voice and Data Gateways (VoIP/router): Integrated Ethernet and USB interfaces support gateway and routing functions with on‑chip processing and security.
• Wireless Access Points and WLAN: Embedded processing and multiple high‑speed I/O ports support control and data plane functions in wireless infrastructure equipment.
• Set‑Top Boxes and Consumer Devices: Single‑chip integration and DDR/DDR2 memory support facilitate media and control processing in consumer electronics.
• Industrial Controllers: Deterministic single‑core processing with robust I/O and security features for embedded industrial control applications.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated high‑speed I/O: Dual Gigabit Ethernet and dual SATA 3 Gbps reduce external controller needs and simplify board-level design.
• On‑chip security capabilities: SEC 3.3 co‑processor plus cryptography and RNG support enable hardware‑assisted security functions without large external crypto engines.
• Flexible memory interface: DDR and DDR2 controller support allows designers to choose memory technology that fits performance and cost targets.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 620‑HBGA (29×29) package supports dense PCB layouts while delivering the necessary pin count for complex I/O.
• Single‑chip system integration: Consolidates CPU, I/O, and storage interfaces in one device to reduce BOM, simplify integration, and improve reliability.
• Proven family heritage: Part of the MPC8315 PowerQUICC II Pro series, providing a familiar architecture and documented hardware resources from NXP Semiconductors.
