MPC850CZQ50BUR2

The MPC850CZQ50BUR2 is a single‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor in the MPC850 family from NXP Semiconductors, operating at 50 MHz. It combines an embedded MPC8xx core with integrated system peripherals and a Communications Processor Module (CPM) to address communications and networking controller applications.

Designed for cost‑sensitive remote‑access, telecommunications and embedded networking products, the device delivers on‑chip Ethernet and USB support, DRAM memory controller capability, and an industrial operating temperature range for reliable deployment in fielded systems.

Key Features

• Core – Embedded single‑issue 32‑bit MPC8xx core (PowerPC architecture) running at 50 MHz, with 32 GPRs as part of the MPC850 family architecture.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) – Integrated CPM with a dedicated RISC communications processor to off‑load peripheral and protocol handling from the main core.
• Serial and Protocol Interfaces – CPM supports multiple serial channels including SCCs (Ethernet/HDLC/SDLC capable), one USB 1.x channel, two SMCs, one I²C port and one SPI port, enabling diverse peripheral connectivity.
• Networking – Integrated Ethernet support (10 Mbps) and multi‑channel HDLC/SDLC capability for communications and networking tasks.
• Memory and Bus – On‑chip DRAM controller support to interface system memory; includes an 8‑KB dual‑port RAM in the MPC850 family documentation.
• Power and I/O – 3.3 V I/O voltage compatibility for common embedded system interfaces.
• Package and Mounting – 256‑PBGA package (23 × 23 mm), surface‑mount package case suited for compact board designs.
• Industrial Qualification – Rated for industrial operation with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 95 °C.
• Environmental Compliance – RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing consistency.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment – Suitable for routers, switches, and network controllers that require integrated Ethernet and HDLC/SDLC handling.
• Remote‑Access and Telecommunications – Deployed in remote access terminals and telecom systems where integrated communications peripherals and CPM off‑load are beneficial.
• Embedded Communications Controllers – Ideal for single‑chip controller designs that combine CPU, serial channels, USB and memory control in compact form factors.
• Industrial Control Systems – Industrial temperature rating and RoHS compliance make it appropriate for fielded industrial communications and control modules.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Off‑load: CPM with a dedicated communications RISC processor reduces load on the main MPC8xx core, simplifying protocol handling.
• On‑Chip Connectivity: Built‑in Ethernet and USB 1.x support plus multi‑channel serial interfaces reduce external component count and PCB complexity.
• Compact PBGA Package: 256‑PBGA (23×23 mm) surface‑mount package enables dense board layouts while providing full peripheral integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range: −40 °C to 95 °C rating supports deployment in demanding and outdoor environments.
• 3.3 V I/O Compatibility: Standard IO voltage eases system integration with common peripherals and power rails.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental compliance expectations for modern manufacturing and supply chains.
