MPC8247VRTIEA

The MPC8247VRTIEA is a single‑core, 32‑bit PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors’ MPC8247 series, delivering a 400 MHz operating speed in a 516‑ball PBGA (27×27 mm) package. It targets embedded designs that require an integrated communications‑focused processor architecture with on‑chip memory management and communications peripherals.

Designed for embedded and consumer applications, the device combines a PowerArchitecture® core with a modified communications processor module (CPM) and dedicated memory controllers to simplify system design while maintaining predictable performance and robustness at standard 3.3 V I/O levels.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC G2_LE single core, 32‑bit architecture running at 400 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Memory and Caches On‑chip memory management units (MMUs) and instruction/data caches; integrated DRAM and SDRAM controllers for system memory interfacing.
• Communications Co‑processors Includes communications and RISC CPM co‑processor resources to offload protocol and data‑path tasks.
• Connectivity Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and one USB 2.0 interface, plus additional serial support such as I2C, enabling networked and peripheral connectivity.
• Power and I/O 3.3 V I/O signaling and surface‑mount 516‑PBGA (27×27) package for standard embedded board integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance Consumer‑qualified device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Equipment Use the dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and CPM resources for routers, gateways, and protocol handling in compact network appliances.
• Industrial and Control Systems Leverage the DRAM/SDRAM controllers and deterministic PowerPC core for real‑time control, data acquisition, and machine interface tasks.
• Consumer Embedded Devices Integrate USB 2.0, I2C, and high‑level processing in consumer‑grade products that require network connectivity and embedded control.
• Appliance and Gateway Controllers Combine on‑chip communications and processing to reduce external components in appliance controllers and residential gateways.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem: The modified CPM and communications co‑processors reduce host CPU overhead for serial and network tasks.
• Balanced Processing and Memory Interfaces: On‑chip MMUs, instruction/data caches, and DRAM/SDRAM controllers simplify system memory architecture and improve data throughput.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package: 516‑PBGA (27×27 mm) package supports dense board layouts while providing the pins required for rich peripheral connectivity.
• Standard I/O Voltage: 3.3 V I/O compatibility eases integration with common embedded peripherals and board-level power domains.
• Proven Family Architecture: Part of the PowerQUICC II family and the MPC8247 series, offering a well‑documented architecture for embedded communications designs.
• Regulatory and Environmental: RoHS compliant construction supports environmentally responsible designs.
