MPC8270VVQLDA

The MPC8270VVQLDA is a single-core PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors designed for embedded applications requiring integrated communications functionality. Operating at 333 MHz with a 32-bit core and support for DRAM/SDRAM memory controllers, this device suits embedded communications and networking designs where a compact, surface-mount SoC with multiple I/O options is required.

As a member of the MPC82xx/PowerQUICC II family, the MPC8270VVQLDA combines a dual-issue integer core architecture with a range of on-chip communications controllers—enabling streamlined system designs for routers, gateways, and industrial communications equipment.

Key Features

• Core  Dual-issue PowerPC G2_LE integer core (EC603e family) delivering 333 MHz single-core 32-bit processing.
• Caches  Separate 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches for predictable on-chip performance and reduced external memory access.
• Memory Controllers  Integrated controllers for DRAM and SDRAM to support common embedded memory configurations.
• Communications Co-processors  On-chip communications DSP and RISC CPM to accelerate protocol handling and data plane tasks.
• Ethernet and USB  Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers and one USB 2.0 controller provide multiple host and network connectivity options on-chip.
• Serial and Peripheral Interfaces  Four serial communications controllers (SCCs) and additional interfaces including I²C expand peripheral connectivity for system integration.
• Power and I/O  3.3 V I/O signaling for compatibility with standard embedded peripherals.
• Package  480-TBGA package (37.5×37.5 mm) with 480-LBGA exposed pad, surface-mount mounting for high-density designs.
• Operating Range  Rated for 0°C to 105°C operating temperature.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking  Ideal for routers, switches or gateway controllers that require multiple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and on-chip protocol acceleration.
• Industrial Communications  Suited to industrial controllers and communication modules where deterministic processing and multiple serial interfaces are needed.
• Protocol and Control Appliances  Useful in systems that offload protocol handling to on-chip communications co-processors and need USB connectivity.
• OEM Embedded Platforms  Fits compact, surface-mount designs requiring a high pin-count TBGA package and integrated memory controller support.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated communications feature set: Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers, one USB 2.0 controller, and four SCCs reduce external components and simplify board design.
• On-chip protocol acceleration: Communications DSP and RISC CPM offload protocol processing from the main core, improving throughput for networking tasks.
• Compact, production-ready package: 480-TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) with exposed pad supports high-density surface-mount layouts and thermal conduction.
• Embedded-friendly memory support: Built-in DRAM/SDRAM controllers streamline memory subsystem design for embedded platforms.
• Broad operating window: 0°C to 105°C rating provides suitability across commercial and many industrial temperature conditions.
• Standards-aligned I/O voltage: 3.3 V I/O compatibility with common peripheral devices.
