MPC8536AVJATHA

The MPC8536AVJATHA is a PowerPC e500-based 32-bit microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, operating at up to 1.25 GHz in a single-core configuration. Designed for embedded applications, it combines a high-performance core with integrated memory controllers and a broad set of high-speed interfaces to support networking, storage and communications designs.

With integrated security acceleration, DDR2/DDR3 memory support with ECC, multi-gigabit Ethernet and multiple peripheral interfaces, the MPC8536AVJATHA targets embedded systems that require performance, connectivity and system-level integration in a 783‑pin FC‑PBGA package.

Key Features

• Core High-performance 32-bit PowerPC e500 core scaling to 1.25 GHz.
• On-chip caches Integrated L1 and L2 caches as specified in the MPC8535E series: 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 caches, plus 512 KB L2 cache (8-way set associative).
• Memory DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus and support for up to 16 Gbytes of main memory (ECC detects/corrects single-bit errors and detects double-bit errors).
• Security Integrated security engine (SEC) optimized for cryptography and common protocols; includes acceleration for IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS and related algorithms and an XOR engine useful for RAID parity operations.
• Networking Two three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with SGMII support and broad PHY interface compatibility; TCP/IP acceleration and QoS features available.
• Storage & USB SATA 3 Gbps interfaces and multiple USB 2.0 dual-role controllers provide storage and peripheral connectivity.
• High-speed expansion PCI Express support and a PCI 2.2 compatible controller enable add-on expansion and high-throughput I/O connectivity.
• Peripherals eSDHC for SD/MMC boot capability, DUART, dual I2C, programmable interrupt controller and an integrated DMA controller for efficient peripheral handling.
• Power management & system features Multiple low-power modes (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) and wake sources including LAN, USB, GPIO and timers; system performance monitor and JTAG boundary-scan support.
• Package & temperature 783‑pin FC‑PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package; operating ambient range 0 °C to 90 °C.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances — Use the dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers and TCP/IP acceleration for routers, firewalls and VPN appliances that require hardware security acceleration.
• Storage Systems — SATA 3 Gbps interfaces and the SEC XOR engine support RAID and storage controller designs with hardware parity and cryptographic protection.
• Communications Infrastructure — High-speed serial interfaces, PCI Express and robust memory support make this device suitable for embedded communications and telecom equipment.
• Embedded Controllers — Single-core PowerPC performance, integrated DMA and peripheral set suit industrial and appliance controllers that need deterministic compute and I/O.

Unique Advantages

• High single-core performance: 1.25 GHz PowerPC e500 core with substantial on-chip cache for responsive embedded compute.
• Comprehensive connectivity: Integrated multi‑gigabit Ethernet, SATA, USB and PCI/PCIe interfaces reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Memory reliability and scalability: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC and support up to 16 GB enables robust main memory configurations for data‑critical applications.
• Built-in security acceleration: SEC engine for cryptographic protocols offloads CPU and accelerates secure communications and storage encryption tasks.
• System-level integration: On-chip DMA, eLBC, eSDHC and comprehensive peripheral set lower BOM and streamline system integration.
• Ready for embedded environments: Surface-mount 783‑pin FC‑PBGA package and 0 °C to 90 °C operating range cover a wide set of embedded deployment scenarios.
