With a combination of integrated Ethernet, storage interfaces, DDR memory controllers and an optional dedicated security engine (SEC 3.0), this device delivers a compact, highly integrated solution for systems that need performance, connectivity and hardware-based cryptography in a surface-mount BGA package.

Key Features

• Core and Memory Single PowerPC e300c4s core at 533 MHz with 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches and on-chip MMUs for deterministic embedded execution.
• Memory Controllers Integrated DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM memory controller to support common embedded DRAM configurations.
• Security Optional dedicated security engine (SEC 3.0) with cryptography support and a hardware random number generator to enable secure communications and trusted operations.
• Networking and Storage Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps) and two SATA 3 Gbps ports provide high-bandwidth network and storage connectivity.
• USB and Local I/O USB 2.0 dual-role controller with PHY and additional interfaces such as DUART for serial console and control connectivity.
• System Controllers On-chip 32-bit local bus controller and 32-bit PCI controller for flexible I/O expansion and peripheral integration.
• Package and Mounting 689-TEPBGA II (31×31) package with exposed pad, surface-mount mounting type for compact board implementation.
• Operating Range and Compliance Rated for operation from 0 °C to 125 °C and RoHS compliant; device qualification is listed as Consumer.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications — Use the dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces and integrated PCI/local bus controllers for switches, routers, VPN appliances and intelligent NIC designs.
• Storage Appliances — Dual SATA 3 Gbps ports combined with DDR controller support make the device suitable for NAS and other storage gateway systems.
• Industrial and Control Systems — On-chip real-time-friendly features, serial DUART and robust operating temperature range support industrial controller implementations.
• Printing and Imaging — The integrated core, memory subsystem and peripheral interfaces address main CPU and I/O processor roles within printing and imaging equipment.
• Consumer Embedded Products — Integration of USB, Ethernet and security features supports consumer devices requiring network connectivity and content protection.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces and dual SATA ports reduce external controller count and simplify board design for networking and storage systems.
• Hardware security support: SEC 3.0, on-chip cryptography and a random number generator provide hardware-accelerated security primitives for secure communications and data protection.
• Single-core deterministic performance: The PowerPC e300c4s core with L1 caches and MMU delivers predictable embedded performance for real-time and I/O-centric applications.
• Flexible memory and I/O: DDR1/DDR2 support plus local bus and PCI controllers enable a range of memory configurations and peripheral expansion options.
• Compact BGA footprint: 689-TEPBGA II (31×31) exposed-pad package supports surface-mount assembly while maintaining board density for space-constrained designs.
• Regulatory and supply considerations: RoHS compliant and positioned within the PowerQUICC family for access to existing ecosystem documentation and resources.
