Designed for use in printing and imaging, networking, storage and industrial control systems, the device combines on-chip cache and MMU, flexible memory controllers and a broad set of high-speed interfaces to simplify system design and accelerate time-to-market.

Key Features

• Core  PowerPC e300c4s core running at 800 MHz with on-chip memory management and 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches (as described in the series documentation).
• Memory  Integrated DDR/DDR2 SDRAM memory controller supports modern volatile memory configurations for system and application code.
• Networking and Storage Interfaces  Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet interfaces supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and two Serial ATA ports supporting 3 Gbps for high-throughput networking and storage connectivity.
• USB and Peripheral I/O  USB 2.0 controller with integrated PHY plus DUART and other serial interfaces provide flexible peripheral connectivity.
• Security  Optional SEC 3.0 security engine with cryptography and a random number generator to support secure communications and data protection.
• System Integration  On-chip features described in the product series include a 32-bit PCI controller, 32-bit local bus controller and a programmable interrupt controller to streamline system architectures.
• Package and Temperature  689-BBGA exposed pad package (689-TEPBGA II, 31 × 31 mm) in a surface-mount form factor; industrial qualification with operating temperature range from −40 °C to 125 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Printing and Imaging: Host CPU and I/O processor roles in printers and multifunction devices where integrated I/O and memory interfaces reduce system complexity.
• Networking Equipment: Switches, line cards and VPN routers leveraging dual Gigabit Ethernet and PCI/local bus connectivity for packet processing and I/O aggregation.
• Storage and NAS: Network-attached storage and intelligent NIC designs using dual SATA ports and Ethernet for high-throughput data access and transfer.
• Industrial Controllers: Embedded control systems and industrial automation platforms benefiting from industrial temperature operation and broad peripheral support.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated solution: On-chip memory management, Ethernet, SATA and USB reduce external component count and simplify BOM.
• Industrial-grade operation: −40 °C to 125 °C operating range and industrial qualification support deployment in demanding environments.
• Flexible memory and I/O: DDR/DDR2 memory controller plus PCI and local bus options enable a range of system architectures and performance points.
• Security-enabled platform: Built-in SEC 3.0 cryptography and hardware random number generation facilitate secure communication and storage functions.
• Package suited for dense boards: 689-ball TEPBGA exposed-pad package (31 × 31 mm) provides a compact, surface-mount footprint for high-density PCB layouts.
• Documented platform: Series documentation details caches, MMU, peripheral controllers and timing/thermal data to support design and validation.
