MC8640DHX1067NE

The MC8640DHX1067NE is a PowerPC e600 microprocessor in the MC8640 series featuring a dual-core, 32-bit architecture running at 1.067 GHz. Designed for embedded applications, the device provides integrated memory controller support and multiple high-speed network interfaces to address systems that require processing throughput together with broad I/O connectivity.

Key value comes from the combination of dual PowerPC cores, DDR/DDR2 memory controller support and four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, packaged in a 1023‑FCCBGA (33×33) surface-mount format for space-efficient board designs.

Key Features

• Dual PowerPC e600 Cores — Two 32‑bit PowerPC e600 cores running at 1.067 GHz provide parallel processing capability for embedded workloads.
• Memory Controllers — Integrated support for DDR and DDR2 memory types enables flexible system memory configurations.
• Multi‑port Gigabit Ethernet — Four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces support high-bandwidth networking and multi‑channel connectivity requirements.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 1023‑FCCBGA (33×33) device package and prepared in tray format for surface-mount assembly.
• Recommended Operating Parameters (MPC8640 series) — Series documentation for 1.067 GHz class devices documents recommended core supply conditions and extended junction temperature ranges for robust operation.
• JTAG and Testability — MPC8640 series addendum specifies JTAG AC timing characteristics to support boundary-scan and debug operations.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Appliances — Leverage four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and dual cores for routing, switching or gateway tasks in embedded network equipment.
• Industrial Control Systems — Use dual-core processing and DDR/DDR2 memory support for control, monitoring and deterministic embedded compute functions.
• Communications Infrastructure — Integrated networking and memory interfaces make this device suited for communications modules and infrastructure endpoints.
• High‑density Embedded Platforms — The 1023‑FCCBGA (33×33) package enables compact board designs where board real estate is constrained.
