MPC8314CVRAGDA

The MPC8314CVRAGDA is a PowerPC e300c3-based microprocessor operating at 400 MHz in a single 32-bit core configuration. It is a highly integrated embedded host processor designed for storage, networking and industrial applications where integration and a broad set of I/O are important.

Key value comes from its integration of memory controllers, multi-gigabit Ethernet, USB, and security-related functions, combined with an industrial temperature qualification and a compact 620-HBGA (29×29) package for space-constrained boards.

Key Features

• Core – PowerPC e300c3 single core, 32-bit architecture running at 400 MHz for control and protocol processing.
• Memory – Integrated controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM to support system memory and buffering needs.
• Networking & I/O – Dual three-speed Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) and one USB 2.0 controller with PHY for networked and host connectivity.
• Interfaces – Additional interfaces include DUART and expanded peripheral support as provided in the MPC83xx family.
• Security & Cryptography – Security features listed for the device include cryptography support and a hardware random number generator; co-processor field references SEC 3.3.
• Package & Mounting – 620-pin HBGA package (29 × 29 mm) with exposed pad and surface-mount construction for compact, thermally manageable designs.
• Qualification & Environment – Industrial qualification and RoHS compliance; rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) – Acts as a host or I/O processor handling storage protocol tasks and data movement with DDR/DDR2 memory support and Ethernet interfaces.
• VoIP Routers and Gateways – Handles control-plane processing and protocol stacks while providing Ethernet and USB connectivity for peripherals and network links.
• Wireless Access Points / Intelligent WLAN – Suitable for control and management functions in access points with dual gigabit Ethernet ports and integrated memory controllers.
• Set-Top Boxes – Provides the control CPU role for media and I/O management with compact packaging for consumer or hospitality devices.
• Industrial Controllers – Industrial temperature range and robust I/O make it suitable for embedded control and communication tasks in industrial equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated single-chip solution: Combines a PowerPC e300c3 core with memory controllers and multi-gigabit networking to reduce BOM and simplify board design.
• Broad connectivity: Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports plus USB 2.0 with PHY and DUART support a wide range of peripheral and network interfaces out of the box.
• Memory flexibility: On-chip support for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM enables scalable system memory choices to match application needs.
• Industrial-ready thermal range: Rated from −40 °C to 105 °C for reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Compact, thermally manageable package: 620-HBGA (29×29) with exposed pad supports high-density layouts while providing a thermal path for cooling.
• Security primitives included: Cryptography support and a hardware random-number generator are listed to aid secure application design.
