MPC8250ACVRIHBC

The MPC8250ACVRIHBC is a PowerPC G2-based microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors (MPC8250 series) featuring a single 32-bit core running at 200 MHz in a 516-pin PBGA (27×27) package. It is designed as a communications-focused embedded MPU with integrated communications peripherals and memory controllers for networked and industrial applications.

With on-chip communications processing, multiple Ethernet interfaces, configurable clocking and separate core/I/O power domains, the MPC8250ACVRIHBC targets embedded systems that require a compact, industrial-grade processing engine with strong I/O integration.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  Dual-issue PowerPC G2 integer core (EC603e family) operating at 200 MHz; single 32-bit core with separate instruction and data caches (16 Kbytes each) and MMU support.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  Integrated CPM/RISC co-processor for communications tasks, enabling serial DMA, time-slot assignment and offloaded protocol handling.
• Memory and Bus  On-chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers plus a 60x system bus (64-bit data, 32-bit address) supporting multiple masters and burst transfers for high-throughput embedded designs.
• Networking Interfaces  Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and multiple serial interfaces (including I²C and SPI), suited to networked embedded applications.
• Clocking and Performance Scaling  Separate PLLs and configurable clock multipliers for the G2 core and CPM allow independent core and communications clocking for power/performance optimization.
• Power Domains  Separate internal logic supply and I/O supply (internal core logic at 1.8 V; I/O at 3.3 V) to support robust system power design.
• Package and Mounting  516-PBGA (27×27) surface-mount package; footprint-compatible with MPC8260 as documented in the hardware specifications.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Range  Qualified for industrial use with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for environmental and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Communications Equipment  Use the integrated CPM and multiple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for routers, switches, and protocol gateways that require embedded packet handling and serial connectivity.
• Industrial Control Systems  Industrial-grade operating range and integrated memory interfaces make it suitable for controllers and automation nodes with demanding environmental requirements.
• Embedded Appliances with Ethernet  Ideal for networked appliances and subsystems that need a compact MPU with built-in Ethernet and serial interfaces to reduce external components.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Engine: CPM and multiple Ethernet ports reduce external controller needs and simplify BOM for communication-centric designs.
• Independent Clock Domains: Separate PLLs and configurable clock multipliers for the G2 core and CPM enable tailored power/performance tuning per subsystem.
• Robust Industrial Operation: Industrial qualification and a −40 °C to 105 °C operating range support deployments in harsh environments.
• Separated Power Domains: Distinct core (1.8 V) and I/O (3.3 V) supplies aid system-level power management and signal compatibility.
• Footprint Compatibility: Documented compatibility with the MPC8260 footprint helps migration and design reuse.
• On-chip Memory Interfaces: Integrated DRAM/SDRAM controllers and a wide system bus simplify high-bandwidth memory subsystem design.
