MPC8247ZQTIEA

The MPC8247ZQTIEA is a single-core, 32-bit PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, running at 400 MHz and delivered in a 516-pin PBGA (27×27) surface-mount package. Designed for embedded systems, it combines a PowerArchitecture® core with integrated communications peripherals and memory controllers to address networking and control applications.

With 3.3 V I/O, dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, USB 2.0, and on-chip DRAM/SDRAM controllers, the MPC8247ZQTIEA provides a compact, RoHS-compliant solution for embedded designs operating across a 0 °C to 105 °C range.

Key Features

• Processor Core  Dual-issue PowerPC G2_LE single core, 32-bit architecture operating at 400 MHz, implementing the Power Architecture instruction set.
• Memory Management & Caches  On-chip memory management units (MMUs) with separate instruction and data caches (16 KB each as specified for the family), improving code execution and data throughput.
• Communications & Interfaces  Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (2 ports), USB 2.0 (1 port), and I2C for peripheral control and system connectivity.
• Co-Processors  Includes communications-oriented co-processors (RISC CPM) and DSP-style communications support to offload protocol and data-stream processing.
• Memory Controllers  On-chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers for direct connection to external system memory, simplifying board-level memory design.
• Power & I/O  3.3 V I/O signaling; designed for surface-mount implementation to fit compact embedded PCBs.
• Package & Environmental  516-ball PBGA (27×27) package; RoHS-compliant and specified for operation from 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Equipment  Dual 10/100 Ethernet ports and communications co-processors make the MPC8247ZQTIEA suitable for routers, switches, and network appliances requiring integrated packet processing.
• Industrial Control Systems  On-chip DRAM/SDRAM controllers, I2C, and robust thermal range support system controllers, protocol gateways, and machine automation nodes.
• Communication Gateways  USB 2.0 and CPM support for protocol handling and peripheral interfacing in embedded gateway and access-point designs.
• General Embedded Processing  A compact single-chip solution for control, monitoring, and embedded application processors where deterministic processing and integrated interfaces reduce BOM count.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Peripherals: Dual Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, and I2C reduce the need for external controllers and simplify system integration.
• Communications Offload: RISC CPM and communications DSP capability relieve the main core from protocol processing, improving overall system efficiency.
