MPC8379CVRALGA

The MPC8379CVRALGA is a single-core PowerPC e300c4s microprocessor operating at 667 MHz in a 689-TEPBGA II (31×31) exposed-pad package. Designed for embedded applications, it combines a superscalar e300 core with integrated I/O and security features to simplify system design for networking and storage-oriented products.

With integrated interfaces such as dual Gigabit Ethernet, SATA, PCI Express and USB 2.0, plus hardware security accelerators (SEC 3.0), this industrial-grade device delivers a balanced blend of compute, connectivity and cryptographic functionality for small-to-medium business and consumer embedded systems.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC e300c4s 32-bit superscalar core, single-core configuration at 667 MHz with integrated integer and floating-point execution.
• Memory Supports DDR and DDR2 memory controllers (32- or 64-bit memory interface supported at the family level).
• Networking Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers providing multi-port Gigabit connectivity for networking applications.
• Storage and Fabric Interfaces Integrated SATA controllers supporting 3 Gbps (SATA II) and PCI Express fabric integration for x1/x2 links (family-level PCIe support).
• USB USB 2.0 host/device controller with integrated PHY.
• Security On-chip security engine (SEC 3.0) with cryptography and a hardware random number generator for accelerated encryption and secure operations.
• Peripheral and System I/O Includes DUART, SPI, dual I2C, and a 4-channel DMA controller for flexible peripheral interfacing and data movement.
• Package and Mounting 689-BBGA exposed-pad package (689-TEPBGA II, 31×31 mm), surface-mount construction suitable for industrial environments.
• Operating Range Industrial temperature qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 125 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) Integrated SATA controllers and dual Gigabit Ethernet make the device suitable for NAS controllers and storage gateways.
• SMB Routers and Gateways Dual Gigabit Ethernet and onboard security acceleration support routing, firewalling and VPN offload in small-to-medium business networking equipment.
• Wireless Access Points PCI Express and robust I/O integration enable compact designs for enterprise and SMB wireless infrastructure.
• Printers and Multifunction Devices On-chip fabric and peripheral interfaces reduce BOM and simplify system integration for networked printers and MFPs.

Unique Advantages
