MC8641DTHX1333JE

The MC8641DTHX1333JE is a 32-bit RISC microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors’ MC8641 family, built around Power Architecture® e600 processor cores. It combines processor cores with on-chip system logic and high-performance interfaces targeted at embedded networking, storage, wireless infrastructure and general-purpose embedded applications.

Designed for industrial deployments, the device integrates memory controllers, multi-gigabit Ethernet, high-speed serial and peripheral interfaces in a 1023-ball FCCBGA package and is specified for extended temperature operation.

Key Features

• Core  Dual Power Architecture e600 processor cores (MPC8641D family variant), each with 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and 32-Kbyte L1 data caches for deterministic embedded processing.
• Memory  On-chip memory controllers supporting DDR and DDR2 SDRAM for flexible system memory configurations.
• Ethernet  Four integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports (4) suitable for multi-port networking endpoints.
• High-speed interfaces  Integrated support for PCI Express, Serial RapidIO and High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI) for scalable peripheral and fabric connectivity.
• Peripheral and system interfaces  On-chip DUART (dual UART), I2C, JTAG and local bus controllers for board-level control and debug.
• Package and mounting  1023-FCCBGA (33×33) supplier device package, surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Qualification and environmental  Industrial qualification and RoHS-compliant device suitable for regulated manufacturing and deployment.
• Operating temperature  Specified for -40 °C to 105 °C to meet extended temperature embedded applications.

Typical Applications

• Network Infrastructure  Multi-port Ethernet and high-speed fabric interfaces make this device suitable for routers, switches and network gateways.
• Storage Controllers  Integrated memory controllers and high-speed peripheral interfaces support storage appliance and SAN controller designs.
• Wireless Infrastructure  On-chip processing and serial fabric options enable baseband and backhaul processing in wireless access equipment.
• General Embedded Systems  Combined I/O, control and debug interfaces suit industrial controllers, appliance controllers and communication appliances.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated dual-core architecture: Dual e600 cores with dedicated L1 caches reduce external component count while delivering parallel embedded processing capability.
• Multi-gigabit networking built-in: Four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports are integrated on-chip to simplify multi-port networking designs.
• Flexible memory support: DDR and DDR2 controller support allows designers to choose memory technology that matches cost and performance targets.
• Robust industrial readiness: Industrial qualification and -40 °C to 105 °C rating enable deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Extensive system interfaces: Integrated PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, HSSI, DUART, I2C and local bus options provide multiple paths for expansion and system integration.
• Compact surface-mount package: 1023-FCCBGA (33×33) package supports dense PCB layouts for space-constrained embedded systems.
