MPC8308CVMADD

The MPC8308CVMADD is a PowerPC e300c3-based 32-bit microprocessor running at 266 MHz, offered in a 473-pin MAPBGA (19×19 mm) package. Designed as a cost-effective, low-power host processor, the MPC8308 integrates a single e300 core with on-chip caches and a broad set of system and peripheral controllers.

Its combination of integrated DDR2 memory controller, multi‑port Ethernet, PCI Express capability and USB provides a compact, industrial‑rated building block for embedded systems requiring connectivity and deterministic host processing.

Key Features

• Core — PowerPC e300c3 single core, 32‑bit CPU running at 266 MHz with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches (as specified in the MPC8308 series datasheet).
• Memory — Integrated DDR2 SDRAM controller to interface with external DDR2 memory for system and application data.
• Ethernet and Networking — Three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers (three‑speed eTSEC) for multi‑port networking and gateway roles.
• High‑speed Interfaces — On‑chip PCI Express controller and USB 2.0 (1 port) to support high‑throughput peripheral and host connections.
• Peripheral Integration — Built‑in SerDes, enhanced local bus controller (eLBC), DUART, SPI, I²C, GPIO, timers, DMA and programmable interrupt controller (IPIC) for diverse system functions.
• Package and Mounting — 473‑MAPBGA (19×19 mm) surface‑mount package supplied in tray format for production assembly.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C, suitable for industrial embedded deployments.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Networking and Gateways — Multi‑port Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express enable use as a compact host processor for industrial network appliances and protocol gateways.
• Embedded Control Systems — The PowerPC e300 core paired with DDR2 support and integrated peripherals suits general embedded control and host processing tasks in industrial equipment.
• Edge Compute and Peripheral Aggregation — USB 2.0, PCIe and multiple serial interfaces allow aggregation of peripherals and local edge processing in compact embedded platforms.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated feature set: On‑chip DDR2 controller, multi‑port Ethernet, PCI Express, USB and a wide range of peripheral controllers reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Industrial readiness: Specified operation from −40 °C to 105 °C and industrial qualification make it appropriate for demanding embedded environments.
• Compact BGA package: 473‑MAPBGA (19×19 mm) provides a space‑efficient footprint for high‑density system designs.
• Deterministic single‑core processing: The e300c3 core with dedicated instruction and data caches supports predictable embedded workloads at 266 MHz.
• Flexible connectivity: Three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers plus PCIe and USB 2.0 provide multiple high‑speed I/O options for networking and peripheral expansion.
• Documented architecture: The MPC8308 series hardware specification provides detailed electrical, clocking, memory and interface guidance to accelerate development.
