MPC8248ZQPIEA

The MPC8248ZQPIEA is a single‑core PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor operating at 300 MHz, packaged in a 516‑ball PBGA (27×27) surface‑mount package. Designed as a member of the MPC82xx / PowerQUICC II family, it combines a PowerPC core with integrated communications and security subsystems for embedded and consumer networking applications.

This device targets embedded designs that require integrated Ethernet, USB and secure processing capabilities while operating from a 3.3 V I/O domain and across a 0 °C to 105 °C ambient range. It is RoHS compliant and consumer qualified.

Key Features

• Core  PowerPC G2_LE dual‑issue integer core; 32‑bit single core operating at 300 MHz.
• Caches  On‑chip instruction and data caches (16 KB I‑Cache, 16 KB D‑Cache as documented for the family).
• Communications Subsystem  Includes a Communications Processor Module (RISC CPM) and multi‑channel controllers for integrated protocol handling.
• Security  Integrated Security Engine (SEC) plus hardware cryptography and a Random Number Generator for secure processing tasks.
• Memory Controllers  On‑chip DRAM and SDRAM controller support for external system memory.
• Ethernet & USB  Dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces (2) and one USB 2.0 full/low‑rate interface.
• Additional Interfaces  I²C interface and multiple serial communication controllers as part of the communications module.
• Power & I/O  3.3 V I/O signaling.
• Package & Mounting  516‑ball PBGA (27×27) supplier device package; surface mount.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Operating temperature 0 °C to 105 °C; RoHS compliant; consumer qualification.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Networking Equipment  Home gateways and consumer network appliances leveraging dual 10/100 Ethernet and USB connectivity for routing and peripheral support.
• Embedded Communications Appliances  Networked embedded systems that require an on‑chip communications processor and protocol handling.
• Secure Connected Devices  Consumer devices that need integrated cryptography and a hardware random number generator for secure transactions and communications.
• General Embedded Systems  Single‑board and compact embedded platforms that benefit from on‑chip memory controllers and a compact PBGA footprint.

Unique Advantages
