Key Features

• Core — PowerPC e300, 32-bit, 400 MHz Superscalar e300 architecture with on-chip instruction and data caches (16 KB each) and a double-precision FPU. The series datasheet lists performance up to 760 MIPS at 400 MHz.
• Memory — DDR/SDRAM controller Supports SDRAM and DDR SDRAM with up to 133 MHz operation, two chip-selects, 256 MB addressing range per CS and a 32-bit data bus for flexible memory configurations.
• External Bus & Storage Flexible multi-function external bus interface with 8 programmable chip selects for ROM/Flash/SRAM and an ATA v4 compatible controller for IDE disk drive connectivity.
• Peripherals & Connectivity Integrated Fast Ethernet controller (10/100 Mbps), USB 1.1 host with two ports and integrated hub, AC97/CODEC interface, two I2C, SPI and dual CAN 2.0 A/B controllers plus J1850 BDLC support.
• PCI & DMA Subsystems PCI controller compatible with PCI v2.2 supporting 32-bit, 33/66 MHz operation (initiator/target) and the BestComm DMA subsystem with dedicated DMA channels and 16 KB local SRAM.
• System & Timing Rich system features including interrupt controller, up to 56 GPIOs (with timer capability on multiple pins), real-time clock, on-board PLL/clock generation and system protection functions (watchdog, bus monitor).
• Power Management & Low-Power Modes Multiple low-power states (Nap, Doze, Sleep, Deep Sleep) with wake-up sources including GPIO, RTC and CAN to support power-sensitive embedded designs.
• Package & Environmental 272-PBGA (27 × 27 mm) surface-mount package, RoHS compliant, and rated for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications — Use the integrated Fast Ethernet, USB host and PCI interfaces for network gateways, switches and communication endpoints that require onboard protocol handling and connectivity.
• Storage & Peripheral Controllers — ATA v4 (IDE) support and flexible external bus make the device suitable for embedded storage controllers and systems with attached Flash or ROM.
• Multimedia & Audio Interfaces — AC97 and CODEC interfaces combined with USB host capability support audio I/O and soft-modem or media-handling functions.
• Industrial Control & Automation — Multiple serial controllers, SPI, I2C, CAN and extensive GPIO/timer resources enable sensor interfacing, fieldbus nodes and embedded control tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: On-chip Ethernet, USB, PCI, CAN, I2C and SPI reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Flexible memory support: Native SDRAM and DDR SDRAM interfaces with multiple chip-selects enable a variety of memory configurations and capacity scaling.
• Comprehensive peripheral set: ATA, AC97/CODEC, PSCs and extensive serial options provide a platform for storage, audio and communication-focused embedded designs.
• System-level features included: RTC, watchdog, extensive GPIO, interrupt controller and power management modes support robust embedded system operation and low-power use cases.
• Standard packaging and compliance: 272-PBGA surface-mount package and RoHS compliance ease assembly and regulatory alignment for consumer-grade products.
