Overview of MPC852TZT50A – IC MPU MPC8XX 50MHz 256PBGA
The MPC852TZT50A is a single‑core 32‑bit microprocessor in the MPC852 family, featuring an MPC8xx PowerPC™ processor core built on Power Architecture™ technology. Engineered for embedded communications and control applications, this device combines processor performance with integrated communications peripherals and memory interfaces to simplify system design.
This part is specified at a 50 MHz core frequency with 3.3 V I/O and an industry‑standard 256‑pin PBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package, making it suitable for compact, board‑level embedded systems in consumer and networking equipment.
Key Features
- Core MPC8xx single 32‑bit core at 50 MHz implementing PowerPC architecture; the MPC852 series core and integration are designed for embedded communications control.
- Power and I/O 3.3 V I/O voltage with a 1.8 V core supply reported in the MPC852 series specifications for typical power partitioning.
- Communications Processing (CPM) Integrated CPM/co‑processor for communications tasks; co‑processor handling labeled as Communications/CPM in the product data.
- Memory Interfaces DRAM controllers integrated to support external memory interfacing and system memory management.
- Networking On‑chip Ethernet interface (10 Mbps, single port) suitable for basic networked applications.
- Serial Protocols Additional interfaces include HDLC/SDLC framing support for serial communications links.
- Package and Mounting 256‑pin PBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package for compact board designs (listed as 256‑BBGA / 256‑PBGA in product data).
- Operating Range Consumer qualification with operating temperature range 0 °C to 95 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory and assembly compatibility.
Typical Applications
- Networking Equipment Suitable for entry‑level Ethernet control and basic router or hub functions using the integrated 10 Mbps Ethernet interface and CPM resources.
- Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Useful in CPE and access devices where an integrated communications processor and DRAM controller reduce external component count.
- VoIP and Access Points Applicable to VoIP client and Wi‑Fi access point designs that require embedded packet processing and serial protocol support.
Unique Advantages
- Integrated Communications Subsystem: The on‑chip CPM and communications co‑processor offload protocol processing, reducing host CPU load and BOM complexity.
- Compact Surface‑Mount Package: 256‑pin PBGA (23×23) provides a high‑pin count footprint in a compact form factor for space‑constrained boards.
- Memory Interface Built‑In: Integrated DRAM controllers simplify memory subsystem design and speed time to market.
- Standard I/O Voltage: 3.3 V I/O compatibility with a 1.8 V core enables straightforward interfacing with common embedded peripherals.
- Series Documentation and Heritage: The MPC852 series hardware specifications document provides detailed power, timing, and layout guidance to support reliable system implementation.
