MPC8360CVVAJDGA

The MPC8360CVVAJDGA is a PowerPC-based embedded communications microprocessor featuring the PowerPC e300 core running at 533 MHz. It is part of the MPC8360 series and is positioned for networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications applications where integrated communications functionality and protocol interworking are needed.

This device combines a 32-bit e300 core with integrated communications subsystems (including the QUICC Engine) and a broad set of peripheral controllers to support control-plane and data-plane tasks in equipment such as DSLAMs, 3G Node B NICs, routers, media gateways and high-end IADs.

Key Features

• Core Processor: PowerPC e300 core, 32-bit architecture with compatibility to the Power Architecture™ 603e instruction set.
• Performance: 533 MHz core clock for embedded communications processing.
• On-chip Cache: 32 Kbytes instruction cache and 32 Kbytes data cache for reduced access latency and improved instruction/data throughput.
• Communications Engine (QUICC Engine): Integrated QUICC Engine module providing protocol termination, interworking, and switching between protocols for communications-centric designs.
• Memory and Bus Support: Documentation and device content reference DDR and DDR2 SDRAM support and local bus interfaces for system memory and peripheral connectivity.
• Rich Peripheral Set: Includes controller modules listed in product documentation such as three-speed UCC Ethernet controller (with MII management), PCI, USB, JTAG, I2C, SPI, UART/HDLC variants, timers, GPIO, IPIC and TDM/SI interfaces.
• Package and Mounting: 740-TBGA supplier package with a 37.5×37.5 mm footprint; surface-mount device supplied in tray format.
• Qualification: Industrial qualification as indicated in the product specifications.

Typical Applications

• Carrier and Access Networking: Used in DSLAMs and media gateways where integrated protocol handling and data/control plane separation are required.
• Wireless Infrastructure: Suited for network interface cards and base station subsystems (Node B) that require integrated communications processing and interworking.
• Routing and Switching: Applicable to routers and IADs that need integrated Ethernet controllers, PCI connectivity and robust peripheral interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystems: The QUICC Engine and on-chip peripheral controllers reduce the need for external processing elements for protocol termination and interworking.
• Balanced On-Chip Resources: 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache combined with a 533 MHz e300 core deliver balanced processing for embedded packet and control workloads.
• Extensive I/O and Protocol Support: Documentation lists Ethernet, PCI, USB, serial, bus and signaling interfaces enabling broad connectivity choices for system designers.
• Industrial Qualification: Device specification indicates industrial qualification, supporting deployment in commercial and industrial communications equipment.
• Compact TBGA Package: 740-TBGA (37.5×37.5 mm) surface-mount package provides a high-density footprint suitable for space-constrained board designs.
