Key Features

• Core  Dual‑issue PowerPC G2_LE 32‑bit core running at 266 MHz, derived from the MPC603e family for deterministic embedded performance.
• Memory subsystem  On‑chip memory management with separate instruction and data caches (16 KB I‑cache and 16 KB D‑cache as specified in family documentation) plus integrated DRAM and SDRAM controllers.
• Communications processing  Integrated Communications Processor Module (CPM/RISC) to handle protocol and I/O offload tasks for improved system efficiency.
• Networking interfaces  Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports provide hardware support for wired networking and connectivity tasks.
• USB and peripheral interfaces  One USB 2.0 port and I2C support for common peripheral connectivity and host/device functions.
• Security  Integrated Security Engine (SEC) with cryptography and a hardware random number generator to support encrypted communications and secure functions.
• Package & mounting  516‑ball PBGA (27 × 27 mm) surface‑mount package suitable for compact board designs.
• Electrical & thermal  3.3 V I/O signaling and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C, suitable for a wide range of consumer and embedded environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking equipment  Dual 10/100 Ethernet ports and an offload communications processor make this device suitable for routers, switches and Ethernet‑connected access devices.
• Industrial and embedded controllers  Integrated DRAM/SDRAM controllers, robust I/O and a 0 °C to 105 °C operating range support embedded control and automation systems.
• Secure communications  On‑chip security engine, cryptography and a hardware RNG enable encrypted data paths and secure networking endpoints.
• USB‑enabled devices  USB 2.0 connectivity and I2C support facilitate integration with USB peripherals and sensor/management interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated connectivity: Combines dual Ethernet, USB 2.0 and I2C on a single SoC to reduce external components and board complexity.
