MPC8315EVRAGDA

The MPC8315EVRAGDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro class microprocessor built on Power Architecture technology, featuring a single PowerPC e300c3 32‑bit core running at 400 MHz. It is a highly integrated, cost‑effective host processor designed for embedded and storage-focused designs that require a balance of CPU performance, secure processing, and rich peripheral integration.

Targeted use cases include networked storage, communications, consumer and industrial embedded applications where integrated high‑speed I/O, security features, and flexible memory support reduce system complexity and accelerate time to market.

Key Features

• Core — PowerPC e300c3 single 32‑bit core operating at 400 MHz, delivering deterministic processing for embedded control and I/O tasks.
• Memory Controllers — Integrated support for DDR and DDR2 memory controllers to match common embedded DRAM choices.
• Security Subsystem — On‑chip security functionality including cryptography and a hardware random number generator; security co‑processor identified as SEC 3.3.
• Ethernet — Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for multi‑port networking and aggregation use cases.
• Storage Interfaces — Two Serial ATA (SATA) 3 Gbps ports for direct connection to storage devices and RAID controllers.
• USB — USB 2.0 controller with integrated PHY (1) for host/device connectivity.
• Serial and Peripheral I/O — DUART and other embedded peripheral interfaces for console, control and management links.
• Package and Mounting — 620‑HBGA (29 × 29 mm) package with exposed pad; surface mount assembly.
• Operating Range and Compliance — Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) — Acts as a host processor for storage appliances, providing SATA connectivity and dual Gigabit Ethernet for data transfer and management.
• VoIP Routers and Gateways — Provides integrated networking and security capabilities suitable for voice and packet processing in gateway devices.
• Wireless LAN and Access Points — Dual Ethernet interfaces and integrated peripherals support edge and aggregation wireless infrastructure.
• Set‑Top Boxes — Embedded processing and I/O integration support consumer media devices and service gateway functions.
• Industrial Controllers — Deterministic PowerPC core and broad peripheral set make it suitable for industrial control and embedded automation systems.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated I/O: Dual Gigabit Ethernet and dual SATA 3 Gbps ports reduce the need for external controllers and simplify board design.
• Security built in: On‑chip cryptography and a hardware random number generator provide essential primitives for secure boot, data protection and communications.
• Flexible memory support: DDR/DDR2 controller integration enables designers to choose widely available DRAM options for cost and performance tradeoffs.
• Compact package footprint: 620‑HBGA (29×29) with exposed pad supports surface‑mount assembly while accommodating thermal requirements.
• Embedded‑oriented qualification: Consumer qualification and RoHS compliance align with mainstream embedded product supply chains.
