MPC8241LZQ266D

The MPC8241LZQ266D is a single‑core PowerPC-based microprocessor integrating a 32‑bit MPC603e core running at 266 MHz. It combines a high‑performance processor core with peripheral logic—including a PCI bridge and a memory controller—targeted at embedded consumer applications.

Designed for systems that require integrated PCI support, SDRAM memory interfacing and on‑chip peripheral controllers, the device delivers a compact, RoHS‑compliant solution in a 357‑pin PBGA (25×25) package with a 3.3 V I/O interface and an operating range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Core  32‑bit PowerPC MPC603e superscalar core delivering a 266 MHz operating frequency for general embedded processing tasks.
• Memory subsystem  Integrated high‑performance memory controller with support for ROM and SDRAM; on‑chip 16‑KB instruction cache and 16‑KB data cache to improve code and data throughput.
• PCI integration  On‑chip PCI bridge and PCI bus interface to simplify connection of standard PCI peripherals and accelerate system design.
• Peripheral logic  Includes DUART, DMA controller, interrupt controller (PIC), timers, message unit with I2O support, and an I2C controller for common embedded I/O and communication tasks.
• System reliability  ECC controller and configuration registers provide data integrity and system configuration capabilities.
• Package and mounting  Supplied in a 357‑PBGA (25×25) package, surface‑mount ready for compact board designs.
• Electrical and environmental  3.3 V I/O signalling and RoHS compliance; rated operating temperature from 0 °C to 105 °C for consumer‑grade deployments.

Typical Applications

• PCI‑based embedded systems  Ideal for compact platforms that require direct interfacing to PCI peripherals and standard PCI I/O.
• Consumer embedded products  Suited to consumer‑grade electronics that benefit from an integrated processor, memory controller and peripheral set.
• SDRAM‑based designs  Systems that use SDRAM and ROM for program and data storage can leverage the on‑chip memory controller and cache resources.
• Communication and control modules  Applications that need serial interfaces, interrupt management and DMA can use the integrated DUART, PIC and DMA controller.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated platform: Combines a PowerPC MPC603e core with peripheral logic (PCI bridge, memory controller, DUART, DMA, PIC, I2C) to reduce BOM and board complexity.
• PCI connectivity built‑in: On‑chip PCI bridge accelerates integration of standard PCI peripherals without an external bridge component.
• Memory performance: Dedicated memory controller plus 16‑KB instruction and 16‑KB data caches help improve effective system throughput with SDRAM and ROM.
• Robust system control: Integrated interrupt controller, message unit and timers support deterministic control and communication tasks in embedded systems.
• Compact packaging: 357‑PBGA (25×25) surface‑mount package supports dense board layouts while providing the necessary I/O and power pins.
• RoHS compliant: Environmentally compliant manufacturing for modern production requirements.
