MPC8321ECVRAFDCA

The MPC8321ECVRAFDCA is a PowerPC e300c2 microprocessor IC delivering a single 32‑bit core at 333 MHz in a 516‑pin PBGA (27×27) package. It targets embedded and communications-focused designs where integrated I/O, memory support and industrial operating range are important.

Designed for networking and industrial applications, the device integrates communications and security co‑processors, multiple Ethernet ports and memory controllers to support systems such as gateways, routers and industrial control equipment while operating across an industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC e300c2 core running at 333 MHz; single 32‑bit processing core for deterministic embedded compute.
• Memory Support Integrated controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM to support system memory requirements.
• Communications Offload Built‑in communications co‑processor (QUICC Engine) to accelerate packet processing and protocol handling.
• Security SEC 2.2 security co‑processor providing cryptography features for secure communications and data protection.
• Ethernet Up to three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for multi‑port LAN connectivity.
• USB and Serial Single USB 2.0 interface and DUART for peripheral and console connectivity.
• Package and Mounting 516‑PBGA (27×27) surface‑mount package offering high pin count in a compact footprint.
• Operating Range and Qualification Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.

Typical Applications

• Residential and SOHO Gateways Suitable for ADSL and residential gateway designs that require packet processing and multiple network interfaces.
• Modems and Routers Supports modem/router platforms with integrated Ethernet, USB and communications offload functionality.
• Industrial Control Industrial‑temperature rated operation and robust I/O support make it suitable for embedded control and automation systems.
• Test and Measurement Integration of memory controllers, serial interfaces and security features supports networked test and measurement equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications processing: QUICC Engine offloads protocol work from the CPU to accelerate packet handling and reduce system software complexity.
