MPC8272CZQTIEA

The MPC8272CZQTIEA is a 32-bit microprocessor based on the PowerPC G2_LE core, delivering 400 MHz operation in a 516‑PBGA (27×27) package. It targets embedded and industrial communications applications that require integrated processing, communications peripherals, and security functionality.

Designed by NXP Semiconductors, this single‑core MPU combines a PowerPC core, communications processor module (CPM) capabilities, and a hardware security engine to provide a compact, integrated solution for networked and secure embedded designs.

Key Features

• Core  PowerPC G2_LE 32‑bit processor, single core, operating at 400 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Memory and Bus  32‑bit core with on‑chip controllers for DRAM and SDRAM to simplify memory subsystem design.
• Communications Co‑processors  Integrated RISC CPM (communications processor module) to support protocol handling and offload real‑time communications tasks.
• Security  Integrated security engine (SEC) with cryptography and a hardware random number generator for encryption and secure operations.
• Ethernet  Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for LAN and industrial networking applications.
• USB and Serial  One USB 2.0 interface and additional interfaces including I2C for peripheral connectivity.
• Power and I/O  3.3 V I/O voltage standard for compatibility with common industrial logic levels.
• Package and Mounting  516‑pin PBGA (27×27) surface‑mount package, RoHS compliant.
• Operating Range  Industrial temperature qualification with operating temperature from −40 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Networking Equipment  Multiport Ethernet interfaces and CPM support make the device suitable for switches, gateways, and protocol converters in industrial networks.
