MPC8272VRTMFA

The MPC8272VRTMFA is a single‑core PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor operating at 400 MHz in a 516‑pin PBGA (27×27) surface‑mount package. It combines a 32‑bit processor core with integrated communications and security engines to address embedded communications and networking use cases.

Designed for consumer‑qualified embedded systems, the device features dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, DRAM/SDRAM controllers, and 3.3 V I/O. The on‑chip Security Engine (SEC) and random number generator provide hardware cryptography support while the modified Communications Processor Module (CPM) enables protocol offload and multi‑channel communications handling.

Key Features

• Core  Dual‑issue PowerPC G2_LE single 32‑bit core running at 400 MHz with integrated MMU and separate instruction and data caches (16 KB each) as documented for the PowerQUICC II family.
• Memory Subsystem  On‑chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers simplify external memory interfacing and buffering for embedded applications.
• Communications & Offload  Modified Communications Processor Module (CPM) and multi‑channel controllers provide hardware assistance for serial and network protocol handling.
• Ethernet & USB  Two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces and one USB 2.0 port (full/low rate) for network and peripheral connectivity.
• Security  Integrated Security Engine (SEC) with cryptography support and a hardware random number generator for secure data processing.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Includes I2C and other system interfaces; PCI bridge support is included in the device family.
• Power & I/O  Standard 3.3 V I/O simplifies power‑rail design for common embedded systems.
• Package & Mounting  516‑PBGA (27×27) lead‑free surface‑mount package, RoHS compliant.
• Operating Range & Qualification  Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications & Networking  Integrated Ethernet, CPM and protocol offload capabilities make this device suitable for embedded network controllers and communications modules.
• Secure Consumer Network Equipment  On‑chip SEC and RNG support hardware encryption for secure data handling in consumer network appliances.
• Embedded Control and I/O Systems  USB, I2C and memory controller integration supports designs that require local control, peripheral connectivity and buffering.
