MCF5206EAB40

The MCF5206EAB40 is a ColdFire V2 microprocessor in a 160‑QFP (28×28) surface‑mount package, featuring a single 32‑bit core running at 40 MHz. It integrates core processing, on‑chip memory and system peripherals to support embedded control designs that require deterministic control, memory interfacing and serial communications.

With integrated functions such as a DRAM controller, DMA channels, timers and serial interfaces, the device targets embedded system and control applications where reduced board complexity and faster time‑to‑market are important. The device is RoHS compliant and operates from a 3.3 V I/O domain over an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Core Version 2 ColdFire core; single 32‑bit processing engine running at 40 MHz.
• On‑chip Memory & Cache 4 KByte direct‑mapped instruction cache and 8 KByte on‑chip SRAM for low‑latency code and data access.
• Arithmetic Acceleration Integrated Multiply‑Accumulate (MAC) module and hardware divide unit to accelerate complex arithmetic operations.
• DMA & Timers Two‑channel DMA controller plus dual 16‑bit multimode general‑purpose timers for efficient data movement and real‑time control.
• Memory Controller On‑chip DRAM controller with support for EDO and page‑mode DRAM, plus EBI/EMI interfaces for glueless connections to external memory and I/O.
• Serial Interfaces Two UARTs and an I²C‑compatible bus interface to support serial communications and peripheral connectivity.
• Package & Mounting 160‑lead BQFP (supplier package: 160‑QFP, 28×28 mm) designed for surface‑mount assembly.
• Power & Environmental 3.3 V I/O supply domain and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control Central processing for embedded control systems leveraging on‑chip peripherals and timers for deterministic control tasks.
• Memory‑Centric Systems Systems that require external DRAM interfacing and efficient memory access via the integrated DRAM controller and on‑chip SRAM.
• Communications & I/O Designs needing UART serial links and I²C‑compatible bus connectivity for peripheral and sensor interfacing.
• DSP‑Oriented Tasks Applications that benefit from accelerated arithmetic (MAC and hardware divide) for signal processing or complex math routines.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Peripherals: On‑chip DRAM controller, DMA, UARTs and timers reduce external component count and simplify PCB design.
• Accelerated Math Operations: MAC and hardware divide units speed arithmetic‑intensive code without adding external DSP hardware.
• Low‑Latency On‑Chip Memory: Instruction cache and 8 KB SRAM provide one‑cycle access to critical code and data, improving execution efficiency.
• Flexible Memory Interfaces: EBI/EMI and DRAM controller support glueless interfacing to 8‑, 16‑ and 32‑bit memories and I/O devices.
• Surface‑Mount Packaging: 160‑QFP (28×28) package is suitable for compact board layouts and automated assembly.
• Standards‑Focused IO: 3.3 V I/O domain and standard serial buses for straightforward integration with modern peripheral devices.
