MPC8315ECVRAGDA

The MPC8315ECVRAGDA is a PowerPC e300c3-based microprocessor in the MPC8315 series, operating at 400 MHz with a single 32-bit core. It is a highly integrated PowerQUICC II Pro class host processor targeted at storage, networking and industrial applications that require mixed I/O, security features, and industrial temperature operation.

Designed for system-level integration, the device combines multiple high-speed interfaces, DDR/DDR2 memory controllers and security capabilities in a compact 620-HBGA (29×29) surface-mount package, enabling reduced BOM and streamlined board designs.

Key Features

• Core and Performance PowerPC e300c3 core running at 400 MHz, single 32‑bit core optimized for embedded control and I/O processing.
• Memory Integrated controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM to support system memory requirements for networking and storage workloads.
• Storage and Networking Dual SATA 3 Gbps ports and two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers provide direct connectivity for storage and high-throughput network applications.
• Peripherals and I/O On-chip USB 2.0 with PHY (1) and DUART support offer standard peripheral interfacing for communications and management functions.
• Security and Cryptography Built-in security features include cryptography support and a hardware random number generator, with a SEC 3.3 security coprocessor listed in the device specifications.
• Package and Thermal 620-HBGA (29×29) exposed-pad package suitable for surface-mount assembly; industrial operating temperature range from –40 °C to 105 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant and specified for industrial qualification, simplifying regulatory and reliability considerations.

Typical Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) Dual SATA ports and gigabit Ethernet enable direct-attached storage controller designs and file server appliances.
• Routers and Gateways (VoIP) Integrated Ethernet ports, security acceleration and USB support deliver the connectivity and crypto functions needed for router and gateway platforms.
• Wireless Access Points and WLAN High integration of I/O and memory interfaces supports control-plane processing and peripheral connectivity in access point designs.
• Set-Top Boxes Processor integration and peripheral interfaces support media and control tasks in consumer set-top designs.
• Industrial Controllers Industrial temperature rating and robust I/O make the device suitable for system controllers and embedded automation applications.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated host processor: Multiple on-chip controllers (DDR/DDR2, SATA, Ethernet, USB) reduce external components and simplify board layout.
• Security-enabled platform: On-chip cryptography and a hardware random number generator along with SEC 3.3 support help secure data and communications in embedded systems.
• Industrial temperature specification: Rated from –40 °C to 105 °C for reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Compact, assembly-ready package: 620-HBGA (29×29) exposed-pad surface-mount package supports high-density designs and thermal management.
• Balanced I/O for storage and networking: Dual gigabit Ethernet plus two SATA 3 Gbps ports provide built-in connectivity for networked storage and communication appliances.
