Key Features

• Processor Core: PowerPC G2_LE 32‑bit core, single core running at 333 MHz, dual‑issue integer architecture as part of the PowerQUICC II family.
• Cache Architecture: Separate instruction and data caches with 16 KB I‑Cache and 16 KB D‑Cache (four‑way set associative, LRU replacement) as documented for the family.
• Communications Co‑processors: Integrated communications co‑processors including RISC CPM and serial communications controllers (SCCs) to support protocol handling and serial links.
• Memory Interfaces: On‑chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers for direct memory interfacing in embedded systems.
• Networking & USB: Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and one USB 2.0 full/low‑rate interface for networked and peripheral connectivity.
• System Integration: PCI bridge and multiple on‑chip controllers from the PowerQUICC II family to reduce external component count and simplify system design.
• Package & Mounting: 480‑TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) package with exposed pad, surface‑mount mounting type suitable for high‑pin‑count board layouts.
• Electrical & Environmental: 3.3 V I/O voltage and RoHS‑compliant construction; consumer qualification.
• Operating Temperature: Rated for operation from 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Equipment: Multiple 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and on‑chip communications controllers enable gateways, routers, and network appliances with integrated protocol handling.
• Industrial and Control Systems: DRAM/SDRAM controllers and robust thermal range (0 °C to 105 °C) support embedded controllers and automation nodes operating within the specified temperature envelope.
• Communication Endpoints: Serial communications controllers and RISC CPM offload protocol tasks for managed switches, terminal adapters, and telecom‑adjacent communications devices.
• Embedded Consumer Products: Consumer‑qualified platform for connected devices that require integrated Ethernet, USB, and memory interfaces in a compact BGA package.
