MPC603RRX266LC

The MPC603RRX266LC from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core, 32-bit PowerPC 603e microprocessor core running at 266 MHz in a compact 255-FCCBGA (21×21) surface-mount package. Designed for embedded and consumer applications, it combines a PowerPC architecture implementation with integrated power-management features for efficient operation.

Engineered for systems requiring deterministic 32-bit processing and floating-point support, the MPC603RRX266LC offers a balance of performance, low-power modes and a consumer-grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Key Features

• PowerPC 603e Core Implements the PowerPC 603e 32-bit architecture with support for 32-bit effective addresses and standard integer and floating-point data types (8-, 16-, 32-bit integers; 32- and 64-bit floating point).
• 266 MHz Clock Single-core operation at 266 MHz for embedded processing tasks.
• Superscalar Execution Architecture capable of issuing and retiring up to three instructions per clock and integrating multiple execution units (integer unit, floating-point unit, branch processing unit) to improve instruction throughput.
• Advanced Power Management Four software-controllable power-saving modes (nap, doze, sleep and a dynamic mode that places functional units into low-power states when idle) to reduce system power dissipation.
• I/O and Supply 3.3 V I/O voltage suitable for common embedded system interfaces.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package 255-FCCBGA (21×21) package, surface-mount design for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Consumer Qualification and RoHS Compliance Qualified for consumer applications and RoHS compliant for environmental compatibility.
• Operating Temperature Range Rated for 0 °C to 105 °C to cover a wide range of consumer embedded environments.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Consumer Devices Use as the main processor in consumer-focused embedded systems that require 32-bit processing and floating-point capabilities.
• Control and Interface Processing Suitable for control tasks and user-interface management in compact, surface-mount designs.
• Low-Power Embedded Systems Ideal for products that benefit from software-controlled power-saving modes to extend battery life or reduce thermal dissipation.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Performance and Efficiency: The PowerPC 603e core and 266 MHz clock provide capable 32-bit processing while built-in power modes help minimize energy use during idle periods.
• Superscalar Architecture: Multiple execution units and the ability to issue and retire up to three instructions per clock improve throughput for mixed integer and floating-point workloads.
• Floating-Point Support: Native support for 32- and 64-bit floating-point types via the integrated FPU enables precise numeric and signal-processing tasks.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: The 255-FCCBGA (21×21) package supports compact board layouts and streamlined assembly for embedded product designs.
• Consumer-Grade Qualification and Compliance: Consumer qualification and RoHS compliance simplify adoption in consumer-targeted product lines.
• Wide Operating Range: Rated for 0 °C to 105 °C to meet typical consumer embedded thermal requirements.
