MPC850DEVR50BU

The MPC850DEVR50BU is a single‑chip microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors based on the embedded MPC8xx core. It integrates a 32‑bit, single‑issue CPU running at 50 MHz with a Communications Processor Module (CPM) and a versatile set of on‑chip peripherals for communications and embedded controller applications.

Built for communications, networking and remote‑access applications, the device delivers a compact, highly integrated solution with USB and Ethernet connectivity, DRAM memory controller support, and surface‑mount 256‑pin PBGA packaging for space‑constrained designs.

Key Features

• Core — Embedded MPC8xx single‑issue 32‑bit core with a 50 MHz operating frequency and a single processor core.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) — On‑chip CPM incorporates a dedicated communications RISC processor (CP) that off‑loads peripheral tasks from the main core; the CPM supports up to seven serial channels and a range of serial controller types.
• Interfaces — Integrated Ethernet (10 Mbps, 1 port) and USB 1.x (1 channel), plus support for HDLC/SDLC and serial peripheral interfaces documented for the MPC850 family.
• Memory and Controllers — DRAM memory controller on‑chip and family documentation references an 8‑Kbyte dual‑port RAM for inter‑processor buffering and peripheral transfers.
• Power and I/O — 3.3 V I/O voltage support for common embedded signaling levels; surface‑mount package for automated assembly.
• Package and Temperature — 256‑PBGA (23 × 23 mm) package; qualified to consumer temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking: Ideal for network controllers and edge devices requiring integrated Ethernet and serial communications off‑load.
• Remote‑Access Equipment: Suited to modems and remote management modules where a compact, integrated communications processor and USB support simplify design.
• Telecommunications Equipment: Applicable to cost‑sensitive telecom applications that benefit from the CPM's independent communications processing and serial interface flexibility.
• Embedded Controller Platforms: Useful in embedded control systems that require a 32‑bit core, DRAM controller support, and multiple serial interfaces in a single package.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications functionality: Combines a 32‑bit MPC8xx core with an on‑chip CPM to reduce external components and simplify system design.
• Dedicated communications off‑load: The CPM’s independent RISC CP handles peripheral and serial channel processing, freeing the main core for application tasks.
• Broad serial and network interfaces: Native support for Ethernet, USB 1.x, HDLC/SDLC and multiple serial controller types provides flexible connectivity options.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 256‑pin PBGA (23×23 mm) enables dense PCB layouts while maintaining accessible I/O and controller functionality.
• Industry documentation and family support: The part is part of the MPC850 PowerQUICC™ family with comprehensive hardware specifications available for system integration.
• Regulatory & assembly readiness: RoHS compliance and standard 3.3 V I/O simplify manufacturing and environmental compliance considerations.
