MPC8272CZQMIBA

The MPC8272CZQMIBA is a single-core, 32-bit PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor running at 266 MHz, designed for embedded communications and industrial applications. It integrates a PowerArchitecture core with on-chip memory management and caches, communications co-processors, an integrated security engine, and a broad set of peripheral interfaces to simplify system design.

With dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, DRAM/SDRAM controllers, and security features including cryptography and a random number generator, this industrially qualified device targets embedded networking, secure communications, and control systems that require integration, deterministic operation, and extended temperature support.

Key Features

• Core & Performance  Single PowerPC G2_LE core, 32-bit architecture at 266 MHz with on-chip MMU and separate instruction/data caches for reliable embedded processing.
• Communications Co-processors  Integrated RISC CPM (communications processor module) and multi-channel communication controllers to offload protocol handling and packet processing.
• Memory Subsystem  On-chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers provide direct support for common system memory configurations.
• Ethernet & USB  Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and one USB 2.0 full/low-rate interface enable wired networking and peripheral connectivity.
• Security  Integrated security engine (SEC) with cryptography support and a hardware random number generator for secure communications and data protection.
• Package & Mounting  516-pin PBGA package (27 × 27 mm), surface-mountable, suited for high-pin-count embedded designs.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature  Industrial-grade qualification with operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C for harsh-environment deployments.
• I/O Voltage & Interfaces  3.3 V I/O signaling and additional interfaces such as I²C to support system management and peripheral control.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant construction to meet environmental and lead-free requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Networking  Embedded controllers and gateways that require dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, industrial temperature operation, and on-chip protocol offload.
• Secure Communications Appliances  Network devices and encryption endpoints that use the integrated SEC engine, cryptographic support, and hardware RNG.
• Edge Routers & Gateways  Compact routing and gateway designs leveraging the CPM and multiple network interfaces for packet handling and bridging.
• Embedded Control Systems  Control and monitoring platforms using the PowerPC core, DRAM/SDRAM controller, and I²C for system management and peripheral interfacing.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications SoC: Combines PowerPC core, CPM, dual Ethernet, USB, and memory controllers on a single device to reduce BOM and board complexity.
• Built-in security capabilities: Integrated SEC engine with cryptography and RNG supports secure link and data protection without external accelerators.
• Industrial temperature support: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range enables deployment in harsh and wide-temperature environments.
• Deterministic embedded performance: PowerPC G2_LE core with MMU and separate caches provides predictable processing for real-time and communications tasks.
• Board-level compatibility: 516-PBGA (27 × 27 mm) surface-mount package provides a high pin-count footprint for complex I/O integration.
• Regulatory and environmental readiness: RoHS-compliant manufacturing supports lead-free and environmentally conscious designs.
