MPC8280VVUPEA

The MPC8280VVUPEA is a PowerPC G2_LE microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors’ MPC8280 family, delivering a single 32‑bit core at 450 MHz in a 480‑TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) package. Designed for embedded communications and networking applications, the device integrates multiple communication controllers and memory interfaces to simplify system design and accelerate development.

Key Features

• Core  PowerPC G2_LE single 32‑bit core running at 450 MHz; dual‑issue integer architecture and family heritage within the PowerQUICC II lineup.
• Caches  Separate 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches (four‑way set associative, physically addressed, LRU replacement) as described for the MPC8280 family.
• Memory Controllers  On‑chip DRAM and SDRAM controllers provide system memory interfacing options for embedded designs.
• Integrated Communications  Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and support for serial communications controllers (SCCs) and fast communication controllers (FCCs) as part of the MPC8280 feature set enable robust networking and protocol handling.
• Peripheral Interfaces  USB 2.0 (full/low rate) support (1 port) and I2C interface for peripheral connectivity and system management.
• Co‑processors  Communications and RISC CPM co‑processors for offloading protocol and communication tasks.
• Electrical  3.3 V I/O voltage for compatibility with common embedded logic levels.
• Package & Mounting  480‑TBGA supplier package (37.5×37.5 mm) with 480‑LBGA exposed pad package case; surface‑mount device for high‑density board designs.
• Operating Range  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 105 °C.
• RoHS  RoHS‑compliant lead‑free device.

Typical Applications

• Embedded networking equipment  Three 10/100 Ethernet interfaces and communications co‑processors make the MPC8280VVUPEA suited to routers, switches, gateways and other network appliances.
• Industrial communications  Integrated DRAM/SDRAM controllers, robust packaging and a 0 °C to 105 °C operating range support industrial protocol bridges and field controllers.
• Telecommunications systems  Serial and fast communication controllers along with the CPM offload engine enable telecom interface handling and protocol processing.
• Embedded USB devices  On‑chip USB 2.0 support enables host or device connectivity in embedded peripherals and instrumentation.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications capability: Multiple Ethernet ports, SCCs, FCCs and CPM co‑processors reduce external silicon and simplify board design for networking applications.
• Proven PowerQUICC II family architecture: PowerPC G2_LE core and family‑level features (caches, communication controllers) provide predictable performance at up to 450 MHz.
• Compact, high‑density package: 480‑TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) with exposed pad LBGA enables dense PCB layouts and thermal management options.
• Standard embedded I/O voltages: 3.3 V I/O simplifies interfacing with common logic families and peripheral devices.
• RoHS compliant: Lead‑free design supports environmental and regulatory requirements for modern electronic products.
