KXPC8240RVV250E

The KXPC8240RVV250E is a single-core, 32-bit PowerPC 603e microprocessor running at 250 MHz in a 352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package. It combines a superscalar processor core with integrated peripheral logic to address embedded designs that require PCI-based I/O, memory control and system-level peripherals.

Designed for embedded markets such as networking infrastructure and telecommunications, the device emphasizes integration and system-level functionality—helping reduce component count and simplify board design while operating from a 3.3 V I/O domain and an operating range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Core — PowerPC 603e single 32-bit superscalar processor core with floating-point support and built-in MMU.
• On-chip Caches — 16-Kbyte instruction cache and 16-Kbyte data cache for reduced memory latency.
• Memory and Controllers — Integrated memory controller supporting DRAM and SDRAM with ECC/parity options noted in the integrated logic.
• Peripheral Integration — Peripheral logic block includes a PCI bridge, DMA controller, EPIC interrupt controller, message unit (with I2O), and I2C controller to consolidate system functions.
• Bus and I/O — 64-bit PCI interface and an internal peripheral logic bus; 3.3 V I/O voltage.
• Clocking and Power Management — Separate PLLs for processor core and peripheral logic enable different operating frequencies and include power management features.
• Debug and Control — JTAG/COP interface for system test and debug.
• Package and Temperature — 352-LBGA / 352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package; operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Routers and Switches — Use as a control processor for packet management and peripheral bridging in PCI-based network elements.
