MPC8358ECZQAGDGA

The MPC8358ECZQAGDGA is a PowerPC e300-based PowerQUICC II Pro communications microprocessor featuring a single 32‑bit core running at 400 MHz in a 668‑PBGA (29×29) package. It is designed for networking, wireless infrastructure and telecommunications applications where integrated interfaces, protocol interworking and predictable operation across industrial temperature ranges are required.

Built as part of the MPC8358 family, the device delivers integrated data-plane and control-plane functionality with support for high-speed memory, multi‑speed Ethernet and common peripheral interfaces to accelerate system development and reduce board-level complexity.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC e300 architecture, single 32‑bit core operating at 400 MHz for control and data‑plane tasks.
• Memory Integrated support for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM controllers to accommodate varying system memory performance and capacity needs.
• Ethernet One three‑speed UCC Ethernet controller supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps operation for LAN and metro networking functions.
• USB On-chip USB 1.x interface for peripheral connectivity.
• Security Hardware cryptography and a random number generator to support secure communications and cryptographic workflows.
• Peripheral Interfaces Integrated controllers and interfaces referenced in the product documentation including PCI, I2C, SPI, UART/DUART, JTAG and serial interfaces for broad peripheral compatibility.
• System and Timing On-chip timers, GPIO and system IP modules that simplify control-plane tasks and protocol timing requirements.
• Package and Mounting 668‑PBGA‑PGE (29×29) supplier device package, surface‑mount tray delivery for high‑density board designs.
• Operating Range Industrial operating temperature range from −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Documentation and Family Resources Supported by PowerQUICC II Pro family documentation and reference manuals for detailed functional and system design guidance.

Typical Applications

• DSLAMs and Access Equipment Used to implement control and data-plane functions in next‑generation DSLAMs where integrated communications processing is required.
• Base Station Network Interface Cards Suited for network interface cards in 3G base stations (Node Bs) providing protocol interworking and packet handling.
• Routers and Gateways Employed in routers and media gateways to handle Ethernet connectivity and manage traffic flows.
• Integrated Access Devices (IADs) Ideal for high‑end IADs requiring consolidated processing, security features and multiple peripheral interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications processor: Reduces board‑level BOM and design complexity by consolidating CPU, Ethernet and common peripheral controllers on a single device.
• Balanced performance and integration: A 400 MHz PowerPC e300 core combined with DDR/DDR2 support provides predictable processing for control and data‑plane tasks.
• Industrial temperature qualification: Rated for −40 °C to 105 °C operation, enabling deployment in harsh and varied environments.
• On‑chip security primitives: Hardware cryptography and a random number generator accelerate secure communications and key management functions.
• Compact package footprint: 668‑PBGA (29×29) packaging supports high‑density board layouts without sacrificing I/O integration.
• Comprehensive interface set: Integrated Ethernet, PCI, USB, serial and control interfaces simplify system architecture and speed time‑to‑market.
