MPC5200VR400

The MPC5200VR400 is a single‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor based on the PowerPC G2_LE architecture, operating at 400 MHz. It integrates a breadth of peripherals and system interfaces targeted at embedded communications and systems‑integration applications, delivering a compact, high‑function embedded compute engine.

Designed for consumer‑grade embedded designs, the device combines core performance, memory flexibility and a rich I/O set to simplify system design and accelerate time to market.

Key Features

• PowerPC G2_LE core: Superscalar 32‑bit processor architecture with integrated instruction and data MMU and floating point capabilities as described in the MPC5200 series documentation.
• 400 MHz operating frequency: Processor clocked at 400 MHz for compute tasks and control functions.
• On‑chip caches and FPU: 16 KB instruction cache and 16 KB data cache plus double‑precision floating point support indicated in the MPC5200 series datasheet.
• Memory controller support: Built‑in SDRAM and DDR SDRAM controllers with initialization and refresh support and up to 132 MHz memory operation (per series documentation).
• Flexible external bus and PCI: Multifunction external bus interface and an integrated PCI controller (PCI 2.2 compatibility with 32‑bit addressing and 33/66 MHz operation noted in the series datasheet).
• Broad peripheral set: Integrated USB 1.1 (2 ports), single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface, ATA controller, AC97 audio interface, six programmable serial controllers (PSC), I2C, SPI, CAN and J1850 as documented in the MPC5200 series material.
• BestComm I/O subsystem: Dedicated I/O subsystem to offload routine peripheral maintenance from the core, improving deterministic behavior for communication tasks.
• Package and mounting: 272‑ball PBGA package (27 × 27 mm), surface‑mount, providing a compact footprint for board integration.
• Operating range and qualification: Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Embedded communications systems: Use the integrated Ethernet, USB and serial controllers for networked appliances and communication controllers.
• Systems integration platforms: Combine external memory, PCI and multiple peripheral interfaces for compact system controllers and integration appliances.
• Consumer embedded devices: Target consumer consumer‑grade products requiring a 400 MHz PowerPC core with broad I/O and memory support.
• Storage and interface controllers: Leverage the ATA controller and extensive serial interfaces for storage gateways and interface bridging functions.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated communications peripherals: On‑chip Ethernet, USB, serial controllers and AC97 reduce external component count and simplify BOM.
• Single‑chip system integration: Memory controllers, PCI and BestComm DMA subsystem enable dense system designs with fewer external controllers.
• Memory flexibility: Support for SDRAM and DDR SDRAM with on‑chip initialization and refresh eases memory subsystem design and validation.
• Compact PBGA package: 272‑ball PBGA (27×27 mm) provides a high‑pin‑count solution in a space‑efficient form factor for board space constrained designs.
• Standards‑oriented connectivity: PCI controller (32‑bit, 33/66 MHz), USB 1.1 and 10/100 Ethernet enable interfacing to common industry interfaces and peripherals.
• Environmental compliance: RoHS compliant construction supports regulated product development and manufacturing processes.
