MPC850DECVR50BU

The MPC850DECVR50BU is a single-core, 32-bit microprocessor based on the MPC8xx architecture, running at 50 MHz and optimized for embedded communications and networking applications. It integrates a versatile memory controller, an on-chip Communications Processor Module (CPM) and peripheral interfaces to simplify designs for cost-sensitive remote-access, telecommunications and industrial controller systems.

This device is supplied in a 256-pin PBGA (23×23) package, supports 3.3 V I/O, and is specified for industrial operation from -40 °C to 95 °C. The part is RoHS compliant and is intended for surface-mount applications.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture  Embedded single-issue, 32-bit MPC8xx core running at 50 MHz with thirty-two 32-bit general-purpose registers for standard PowerPC-style processing.
• Integrated Communications Processor Module (CPM)  On-chip CPM includes a dedicated RISC communications processor (CP) to off-load peripheral and communications tasks from the main core.
• Peripheral and Serial Channel Support  CPM supports multiple serial channels, including serial communications controllers (SCCs), a USB channel, two serial management controllers (SMCs), I2C and SPI for versatile peripheral interfacing.
• Networking Interfaces  Integrated Ethernet capability (10 Mbps, 1 port) and HDLC/SDLC support for common packet/framing use cases; USB 1.x support is provided (1 channel).
• Memory & Controllers  Built-in versatile memory controller and DRAM controller support; datasheet references an 8-Kbyte dual-port RAM in the MPC850 family for on-chip communications buffering.
• Power & I/O  3.3 V I/O voltage compatibility suitable for common embedded system domains.
• Package & Mounting  256-pin PBGA (23×23) supplier device package, surface-mount mounting type for compact board designs.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Range  Qualified for industrial operation with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 95 °C.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications Equipment  Use as the processing and peripheral hub in routers, access devices and other networking products that require integrated Ethernet and serial channel support.
• Remote-Access and Telecommunications  Suited for cost-sensitive remote-access terminals and telecom controllers where integrated communications peripherals reduce system complexity.
• Embedded Industrial Controllers  Industrial control systems benefit from the industrial temperature rating, on-chip communications acceleration and DRAM controller support.
• Embedded Appliances with USB Connectivity  Devices requiring a USB 1.x interface alongside serial and network connectivity can leverage the integrated USB channel and CPM-managed serial ports.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications peripherals: The CPM and on-chip serial channels (SCCs, SMCs, USB, I2C, SPI) reduce external component count and simplify board-level design.
• Dedicated communications processor: The CPM’s separate RISC CP off-loads peripheral processing from the main MPC8xx core to improve system task segregation.
• Industrial-grade operation: Specified for -40 °C to 95 °C and industrial qualification for deployment in harsher environments.
• Compact PBGA package: 256-pin PBGA (23×23) provides a small-footprint, surface-mount solution for space-constrained embedded designs.
• 3.3 V I/O compatibility: Matches common embedded system voltage domains for straightforward integration.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental compliance requirements for contemporary product assemblies.
