MPC8250AVRIHBC

The MPC8250AVRIHBC is a PowerPC G2-based embedded microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors' MPC8250 series. It implements a single 32-bit G2 core running at 200 MHz and integrates communication-focused peripherals and memory controllers targeted at embedded and communications applications.

Designed for embedded systems that require on-chip communications processing, the device delivers a balance of processing performance, integrated I/O and memory support, and compact PBGA packaging for surface-mount assembly.

Key Features

• Core and Performance  PowerPC G2 single 32-bit core, running at 200 MHz, with separate instruction and data caches (16 Kbytes each) and a floating-point unit as described in the MPC8250 series documentation.
• Communications Processing  Integrated Communications Processor Module (CPM) and communication co-processors for RISC/communications tasks, supporting multi-port serial interfaces and protocol handling.
• Ethernet and Serial Interfaces  On-chip support for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and additional serial interfaces including I2C and multiple MII-capable ports (as documented for the MPC8250 series).
• Memory and Bus  On-chip DRAM/SDRAM controllers and a 60x/Local/PCI bus architecture with support for multiple bus masters and burst transfers to simplify system memory integration.
• Clocking and Power  Separate PLLs for the G2 core and CPM enable independent clocking; separate power domains are provided for internal logic (1.8 V) and I/O (3.3 V) to support optimized power/performance configurations.
• Package and Mounting  516-pin PBGA package (27×27 mm footprint), surface-mount mounting for compact board-level integration; package variants and pinout details are provided in the MPC8250 documentation.
• Operating Range and Qualification  Consumer-qualified device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Equipment  Use as a communications processor where integrated CPM functionality and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet support simplify protocol handling and network interfacing.
• Networking Appliances  Suitable for routers, switches or gateways that benefit from on-chip memory controllers, multiple serial/MII interfaces, and a 32-bit PowerPC core.
• Industrial Embedded Systems  Compact PBGA packaging and surface-mount assembly support space-constrained embedded controllers that require deterministic processing and I/O integration.
• Telecommunications Modules  Integrated TDM and serial resources in the MPC8250 series make the device applicable for telecom line cards and protocol-handling modules.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem  On-chip CPM and serial DMA resources reduce external controller requirements and simplify BOM for communications-centric designs.
• Separated Clock Domains  Independent PLLs for the core and CPM allow designers to tune core and peripheral frequencies for optimal power and performance trade-offs.
• Compact Surface-Mount PBGA  516-pin PBGA (27×27) package provides a high-density pinout in a board-friendly surface-mount form factor.
• Memory Flexibility  Built-in DRAM/SDRAM controllers and a 60x-to-local/PCI bridge simplify integration with common memory and bus architectures.
• Clear Thermal and Electrical Data  Detailed hardware specifications and package descriptions available in the MPC8250 documentation support reliable thermal and system-level design.
