MPC8255ACVVMHBB

The MPC8255ACVVMHBB is an industrial-grade PowerPC G2 microprocessor in the MPC8255 series, featuring a single 32-bit core running at 266 MHz. It targets embedded and communications-oriented applications that require integrated peripherals, memory controllers and deterministic thermal and voltage ranges for industrial deployment.

Designed for surface-mount applications, the device combines on-chip communications processing capabilities, multiple I/O interfaces and DRAM/SDRAM memory controllers in a 480-TBGA (37.5x37.5) package, providing a compact, RoHS-compliant solution for embedded systems engineering.

Key Features

• Core  PowerPC G2 single 32-bit core running at 266 MHz, optimized for embedded communications and control workloads.
• Memory Controllers  On-chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers to interface directly with external memory subsystems.
• Communications Co-processors  Integrated communications and RISC CPM co-processor support for offloading protocol and data-path tasks.
• Ethernet  10/100 Mbps Ethernet capability (3) for multi-port network connectivity in embedded networking applications.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Includes I2C plus multiple serial and parallel interfaces as part of the device’s embedded I/O set.
• Power and I/O  3.3 V I/O voltage domain for common embedded system compatibility.
• Package and Mounting  480-LBGA exposed pad / 480-TBGA (37.5x37.5) supplier package, surface-mount mounting type for compact board designs.
• Industrial Qualification & Thermal Range  Industrial-qualified device with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.
• Graphics  No dedicated graphics acceleration — suited for control, communications and data-processing tasks rather than graphics-intensive workloads.
• Family-Level Hardware Notes  Documentation for the MPC82xx/MPC826x family highlights features such as separate instruction/data caches, an FPU in family devices, and separate PLLs for core and communications modules; refer to family documentation for detailed architecture-level capabilities.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications  Multi-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and CPM support make the MPC8255ACVVMHBB suitable for routers, gateways and protocol-handling modules in industrial networks.
• Industrial Control  Industrial temperature qualification and on-chip DRAM/SDRAM controllers enable reliable control and automation platforms that require robust processing and memory interfaces.
• Networking Appliances  Single-core PowerPC performance at 266 MHz and multiple network interfaces support medium-performance networking appliances and edge devices.
• Protocol Offload and DSP Tasks  Communications/RISC CPM co-processor support helps offload serial and communications tasks from the main CPU, improving system determinism.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Capability: Built-in CPM and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces reduce external component count and simplify board-level design for networked systems.
• Industrial Thermal Range: Rated from −40 °C to 105 °C to meet temperature demands of industrial embedded applications.
• Compact BGA Package: 480-TBGA (37.5x37.5) package with exposed pad offers high pin density in a compact surface-mount form factor for space-constrained designs.
• Memory Interface Flexibility: Native DRAM and SDRAM controllers allow direct connection to common memory types without additional controller ICs.
• Design Compatibility: 3.3 V I/O signaling and standard interfaces such as I2C help integrate the device into a wide range of existing embedded systems.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant manufacturing and materials support regulatory needs for modern product designs.
