The MPC8358ECVVAGDGA is a PowerPC e300‑based embedded microprocessor delivering a single 32‑bit core running at 400 MHz. It combines a compact 740‑TBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) package with integrated communications and security subsystems for industrial embedded designs.

Designed for networking, wireless infrastructure and telecommunications applications, the device targets use in control‑plane and data‑plane roles where integrated interfaces, memory flexibility and industrial qualification matter. The architecture emphasizes integration and efficient protocol interworking through dedicated engine and security modules.

Key Features

• Core and performance PowerPC e300 single‑core 32‑bit processor running at 400 MHz with 32 KB of instruction and 32 KB of data cache for responsive embedded control and protocol handling.
• Communications and offload Integrated QUICC Engine for communications termination and interworking; dedicated security co‑processor (SEC) to support cryptographic operations and a hardware random number generator.
• Memory subsystem On‑chip controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM provide flexible external memory options for packet buffering and application code.
• Ethernet and USB Single three‑speed UCC Ethernet controller supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and one USB 1.x interface for peripheral connectivity.
• Peripheral interfaces Multiple system interfaces documented in the reference material, including DUART, PCI, I²C, SPI, JTAG, GPIO, timers, TDM/SI and serial channel protocols (HDLC, BISYNC, synchronous UART variants).
• Security features On‑chip cryptography acceleration and a random number generator to support secure communications and device authentication functions.
• Package and environmental Supplier device package: 740‑TBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm); industrial operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C; RoHS compliant and surface‑mountable.

Typical Applications

• Network infrastructure — Suited for DSLAMs, routers and media gateways where integrated Ethernet and protocol offload reduce system complexity.
• Wireless infrastructure — Applicable to network interface cards for 3G base stations (Node Bs) and similar wireless backhaul equipment requiring protocol interworking.
• Telecommunications equipment — Designed for high‑end IADs and telecom devices that combine control‑plane tasks with data‑plane processing.
• Control and packet processing — Capable of handling both control functions and data forwarding with the QUICC Engine and dedicated communication subsystems.
