MPC8306SCVMADDCA

The MPC8306SCVMADDCA is a PowerPC-based integrated communications microprocessor built around the PowerPC e300c3 core. This single-core, 32‑bit device runs at 266 MHz and targets embedded networking and industrial applications where integrated peripherals, deterministic operation, and industrial temperature range are required.

Designed as part of the PowerQUICC II Pro family, the MPC8306 combines on-chip memory management, cache, DMA engines and a DDR2 memory controller with a rich set of communications peripherals to reduce system BOM and board space for gateway, router, industrial control and test equipment designs.

Key Features

• Core and Performance PowerPC e300c3 core at 266 MHz with dual integer units, 16 KB L1 instruction and 16 KB L1 data caches, and on‑chip MMU for predictable embedded performance.
• Memory Subsystem Integrated 16‑bit DDR2 memory controller and support for external DDR2 devices to provide system memory bandwidth for networking stacks and application code.
• Communications Acceleration Communications co-processor support via the QUICC Engine and dedicated communications peripherals to offload packet and protocol handling.
• Ethernet and USB Three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers and one USB 2.0 interface enable multi-port networking and host/device connectivity in compact embedded designs.
• System Peripherals and I/O On-chip DMA engines and a broad set of serial and system interfaces (documented in the product datasheet) simplify data movement and peripheral integration.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 369‑PBGA (19 × 19 mm) surface‑mount package suitable for high‑density board layouts; package supplied in tray format.
• Industrial Qualification and Temperature Range Industrial‑grade qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.

Typical Applications

• Residential and SOHO Gateways: Integrate multiple Ethernet ports, USB connectivity and protocol offload to implement modem/router and gateway functions.
• Modem and Broadband Routers: Combine the e300c3 core and QUICC Engine to handle networking stacks and packet processing in compact broadband equipment.
• Industrial Control Systems: Use industrial temperature rating and integrated interfaces to build controllers and communication concentrators for factory or plant environments.
• Test and Measurement Equipment: Leverage deterministic performance, DDR2 memory support and onboard peripherals for data acquisition and protocol analysis platforms.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications processor: Combines CPU, memory controller, DMA and multiple networking interfaces to reduce external components and simplify system design.
• Industrial temperature support: Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C operation, enabling reliable use in harsh and industrial environments.
• Dedicated communications acceleration: QUICC Engine and ancillary peripherals offload protocol processing, freeing CPU cycles for application tasks.
• Multiple Ethernet ports and USB 2.0: Built‑in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (×3) and USB 2.0 (×1) provide flexible connectivity without adding external controllers.
• Compact PBGA package: 369‑PBGA (19 × 19 mm) package supports high‑density designs while keeping board footprint low.
• Proven PowerQUICC II Pro heritage: Architecture and feature set documented in the product datasheet for straightforward system integration and validation.
