MPC5200VR400BR2

The MPC5200VR400BR2 is a PowerPC e300-based 32-bit embedded microprocessor running at 400 MHz designed for embedded systems. It integrates a single superscalar core with floating-point capability, a broad memory and peripheral set, and industry-standard interfaces to support networking, storage, and control applications.

Targeted at embedded and consumer segments, the device delivers system-level integration—memory controllers, PCI and ATA connectivity, Ethernet and USB host support—reducing external component count and simplifying board design for connected embedded products.

Key Features

• Core and Performance  PowerPC e300 superscalar core at 400 MHz delivering up to 760 MIPS (datasheet figure), with a double-precision FPU, a 16 KB instruction cache and a 16 KB data cache, and an MMU for advanced software support.
• Memory Subsystem  Integrated SDRAM/DDR memory interface supporting up to 133 MHz operation, two chip selects with 256 MB addressing per CS, and a 32-bit data bus for direct connection to external SDRAM or DDR SDRAM.
• External Bus & Storage  Flexible multi-function external bus interface with up to eight programmable chip selects, non‑multiplexed and multiplexed access modes, and an ATA Version 4 controller for IDE disk drive connectivity.
• High-speed I/O & Networking  On-chip Fast Ethernet Controller supporting 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 MII and a PCI controller (Version 2.2) supporting 32-bit transfers at 33/66 MHz for high-bandwidth system expansion.
• USB and Serial Connectivity  Integrated USB 1.1 host controller with OHCI support and an integrated two-port USB hub, plus six Programmable Serial Controllers (PSC) providing UART/RS232, CODEC (I²S/AC97), SPI and IrDA modes.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Dual CAN 2.0 A/B controllers (MSCAN), two I²C interfaces, SPI, J1850 byte data link controller, and multiple GPIO/timer pins for diverse peripheral and network interfacing.
• DMA and On-chip SRAM  BestComm DMA subsystem with dedicated channels and a 16 KB local SRAM to accelerate peripheral data transfer and offload the CPU.
• System & Power Management  Integrated real-time clock (one-second resolution), watchdog/COP, interrupt controller with multiple internal and external sources, and low-power modes (Nap, Doze, Sleep, Deep Sleep) with wake-up support.
• Package and Mounting  272‑PBGA (27 × 27 mm) package in Tape & Reel (TR) format, surface-mount mounting for standard assembly processes.
• Test and Debug  JTAG IEEE 1149.1 test access port and a Common On-chip Processor (COP) debug port for development and board-level bring-up.
• Qualification  Device qualification: Consumer.
• Operating Range  Series datasheet documents operation at 400 MHz with specified performance figures spanning –40 °C to +85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking & Communications  Use the integrated Fast Ethernet, PCI and USB host interfaces to build networked gateways, routers, and communications equipment.
• Storage and Mass-Storage Controllers  ATA Version 4 interface and flexible external bus enable IDE disk drive connectivity and local storage controller designs.
• Multimedia and Voice Interfaces  CODEC, I²S and AC97 support through the PSCs make the device suitable for designs requiring audio processing or soft‑modem connectivity.
• Embedded Control and Automation  Multiple GPIOs, timers, CAN and J1850 connectivity support control, monitoring and field-networked embedded systems.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripheral set: Reduces external components by combining memory controllers, PCI, ATA, Ethernet, USB, CAN and numerous serial interfaces on-chip.
• Balanced compute and I/O: A superscalar PowerPC e300 core with FPU and dedicated DMA channels enables compute tasks while offloading data movement for efficient real-time performance.
• Flexible memory and bus connectivity: Support for SDRAM and DDR SDRAM plus a programmable external bus allows direct interfacing to a wide range of memory and legacy devices.
• Comprehensive system features: Built-in RTC, watchdog, advanced interrupt support and multiple low-power modes simplify system design and power management.
• Production-ready package: 272‑PBGA in Tape & Reel format and surface-mount mounting fits common manufacturing workflows.
