MPC8250ACVVMHBC

The MPC8250ACVVMHBC is a PowerPC G2-based 32-bit microprocessor from the MPC8250 series, delivering a 266 MHz core in a high-density 480-TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) package. Designed for embedded and communications-centric applications, the device integrates a communications processor module (CPM), multi-port Ethernet, and comprehensive memory interfaces to support networking and industrial embedded systems.

Key value comes from on-chip integration—separate core and CPM PLLs, integrated DRAM/SDRAM controllers, and multiple Ethernet ports—providing a compact, industrial-qualified solution for designs that require deterministic performance across a wide operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Architecture PowerPC G2 single-core, 32-bit processor running at 266 MHz with separate floating-point unit and PowerPC-compliant MMU.
• Caches Separate 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, four-way set associative with LRU replacement for improved instruction and data throughput.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) Integrated CPM for communications tasks, including serial DMAs, RISC microcontroller and program ROM for offloading protocol processing.
• Memory and Bus On-chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers plus a 60x system bus (64-bit data / 32-bit address) that supports multiple masters and single- or four-beat burst transfers with 64/32/16/8-bit port sizes.
• Networking Interfaces Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and multiple serial interfaces (including I2C and SPI) for networked embedded designs.
• Clocking and Performance Separate PLLs for core and CPM and internal clock multipliers (several ratios available) allow independent core and CPM frequencies for power/performance tuning.
• Power Domains Separate supplies for internal logic (1.8 V) and I/O (3.3 V) to support robust system-level power design.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 480-TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) package with exposed pad; surface-mount mounting suitable for dense board layouts.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Standards and Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Networking Equipment Ideal for routers, switches, and gateways that require integrated Ethernet ports and a CPM for protocol handling.
• Embedded Communications Systems Suitable for communications appliances that need on-chip serial DMAs, multiple serial interfaces, and flexible clocking between core and CPM.
• Industrial Control and Automation Enables control systems that demand industrial temperature operation and robust memory interfaces (DRAM/SDRAM).

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Engine: On-chip CPM and three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports reduce external component count for compact networking designs.
• Flexible Performance Partitioning: Separate PLLs and clock multipliers for the G2 core and CPM let designers optimize core and communications performance independently.
• Robust Memory and Bus Architecture: Built-in DRAM/SDRAM controllers and a 60x bus with multiple master support enable high-throughput system architectures.
• Industrial-Grade Operation: Qualified for −40 °C to 105 °C operation and RoHS compliant, supporting deployment in harsh environments.
• High-Pin-Count, Compact Package: 480-TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) with exposed pad supports dense designs while providing ample I/O and signal routing capability.
