KMPC8358VRAGDGA

The KMPC8358VRAGDGA is a PowerPC e300-based microprocessor from the MPC8358 series by NXP Semiconductors. It is a single-core, 32‑bit communications processor running at 400 MHz and implemented in a 668‑PBGA (29×29) package.

Designed as a PowerQUICC II Pro-class device, it targets networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications equipment where integrated communications functionality and robust peripheral sets are required. Typical uses include control-plane and data-plane roles in networking systems.

Key Features

• Core and Performance  Single PowerPC e300 core, 32‑bit architecture running at 400 MHz for control and communications processing.
• Communications Co‑processing  Integrated communications co‑processors including the QUICC Engine to accelerate packet and protocol handling.
• Memory Support  On‑chip controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM to support high‑bandwidth system memory configurations.
• Ethernet  One integrated three‑speed Ethernet controller supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps operation for network connectivity.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Includes USB 1.x support and a broad peripheral set referenced in the device documentation (PCI, I2C, SPI, JTAG, DUART, GPIO, timers, and more).
• Security  Hardware security features include cryptography capabilities and an integrated random number generator.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 668‑PBGA‑PGE (29×29) tray package for surface‑mount assembly.
• Operating Range  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Qualification  Consumer qualification level as indicated in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Network Infrastructure  Used in DSLAMs, routers and media gateways to provide integrated control and data‑plane processing with built‑in Ethernet support.
• Wireless Infrastructure  Suitable for network interface cards and 3G base station (Node B) modules that require communications acceleration and robust peripheral integration.
• Telecommunications Equipment  Employed in media gateways and high‑end integrated access devices (IADs) where protocol interworking and interface density are needed.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications processor: The PowerQUICC II Pro architecture consolidates processing and communications subsystems to reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Single 400 MHz PowerPC e300 core: Provides deterministic 32‑bit control processing suited to embedded networking tasks.
• Broad peripheral set documented in silicon specifications: On‑chip controllers and interfaces (Ethernet, USB, PCI, I2C, SPI, JTAG and more) support a wide range of system I/O requirements.
• Memory flexibility: DDR and DDR2 SDRAM controllers enable scalable memory configurations for varying throughput needs.
• Hardware security primitives: Built‑in cryptography and a random number generator help implement secure functions directly in hardware.
• Robust thermal and packaging: 668‑PBGA (29×29) package rated for 0 °C to 105 °C operation supports deployment in equipment-class environments.
