MPC8360EVVAGDGA

The MPC8360EVVAGDGA is a PowerPC e300-based microprocessor IC offering a single 32-bit core running at 400 MHz. It is positioned as an integrated communications processor for networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications applications.

Designed to deliver higher CPU performance with on-chip communication subsystems and interfaces, the device targets applications such as DSLAMs, 3G base station network interface cards, routers, media gateways, and high-end IADs where integration and protocol interworking are important.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  The device is built around the PowerPC e300 core, implemented as a single 32-bit processing core operating at 400 MHz.
• Cache  The e300 core includes 32 KB of instruction and 32 KB of data cache as referenced in the product documentation for the MPC8360E family.
• QUICC Engine  Integrated QUICC Engine module provides termination, interworking, and switching functionality for communications protocols, improving data-plane handling and protocol interworking.
• Communications and Peripherals  The family documentation references multiple on-chip controllers and interfaces (for example, multi-speed Ethernet controllers, PCI, USB, I2C, SPI, DUART, timers, GPIO and more) to support embedded communications designs.
• Memory and External Interfaces  The MPC8360 family documentation details support for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM and a flexible local bus for external memory and peripheral interfacing.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 740-TBGA package (37.5 × 37.5 mm), tray packaged and intended for surface-mount assembly.
• Qualification  Device qualification is listed as Consumer in the product data.

Typical Applications

• DSLAMs and Access Equipment  Used to implement control and data-plane tasks in next-generation DSLAMs where integrated communications processing and protocol handling are required.
• 3G Base Station Interface Cards  Suitable for network interface cards for 3G base stations (Node Bs), providing control-plane processing and data-plane functionality.
• Routers and Media Gateways  Employed in routers and media gateways to handle protocol interworking and packet-handling duties using the on-chip QUICC Engine and peripheral set.
• High-end IADs  Applicable in integrated access devices that need combined control and data processing in a compact surface-mount TBGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip communications processing: Combines an e300 core with a QUICC Engine to consolidate control-plane and data-plane functions, reducing external processing requirements.
• On-chip cache for performance: The e300 core includes instruction and data caches (32 KB each as noted in the family documentation), supporting efficient code execution at 400 MHz.
• Broad peripheral coverage: Family documentation lists a wide set of controllers and interfaces (Ethernet, PCI, USB, I2C, SPI, timers, DUART, GPIO), enabling diverse connectivity and system integration.
• Compact TBGA package: The 740-TBGA (37.5 × 37.5 mm) surface-mount package provides a high-density footprint suitable for space-constrained communications boards.
• Targeted for communications markets: The device is described for networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications markets—aligning features and documentation with those use cases.
