MPC8536AVJAULA

The MPC8536AVJAULA is a PowerPC e500-based 32-bit microprocessor operating at 1.333 GHz designed for embedded applications. It combines a high-performance core with integrated memory controllers, networking and storage interfaces, and a dedicated security engine to address embedded networking, storage and industrial system requirements.

Built in a 783-pin FC-PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) package and specified for 0 °C to 90 °C operation, this device targets designs that need a single, tightly integrated processing node with ECC-protected memory support and multi-protocol I/O.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC e500 32-bit core at 1.333 GHz with embedded floating-point and vector capabilities as described in the MPC85xx family documentation.
• Cache Integrated L1 and L2 cache: 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 caches and a 512 KB, 8-way set associative L2 cache for system performance acceleration.
• Memory DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM memory controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus, support for up to 250 MHz clock (500 MHz data rate) and up to 16 Gbytes of main memory.
• Security Integrated security engine (SEC) optimized for cryptography and protocols such as IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS and includes an XOR engine useful in RAID storage applications.
• Ethernet Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with SGMII support and compatibility with multiple PHY interfaces and IEEE 1588 timing features.
• Storage & USB Two SATA 3 Gbps controllers and multiple USB 2.0 ports (USB 2.0 (3) per part specifications) to support local storage and peripheral connectivity.
• High-speed I/O Multiplexed high-speed interfaces including PCI Express ports (x4/x2/x1 and two x2/x1 ports), PCI 2.2 compatible controller, eLBC local bus and eSDHC for SD/MMC boot support (per family documentation).
• System Integration Integrated four-channel DMA, dual I2C, DUART, programmable interrupt controller, JTAG boundary scan and system performance monitor for debugging and system control.
• Power Management Multiple power states and wake sources with support for Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog and Deep Sleep modes and LAN/USB/GPIO/timer wake events.
• Package & Thermal 783-pin FC-PBGA (783-FCPBGA, 29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package, RoHS compliant, specified for operation from 0 °C to 90 °C.

Typical Applications

• Networking Appliances Use the dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers and integrated security engine to implement routers, firewalls and VPN gateways with hardware-accelerated cryptography.
• Storage Systems Leverage the dual SATA 3 Gbps controllers and XOR engine for RAID parity/processing to build NAS or storage controllers with on-board SATA connectivity.
• Industrial Embedded Systems The combination of ECC memory support, robust I/O and a wide operating temperature range supports industrial controllers and communication equipment.
• Embedded Control & Peripheral Hubs Use integrated USB, eSDHC and multiple serial interfaces (DUART, I2C) to create embedded hubs that manage peripherals, storage and user I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated I/O: Multiple high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SATA, USB, Ethernet) reduce external bridge requirements and simplify board-level design.
• Built-in security acceleration: On-chip SEC engine and cryptography support offloads protocol processing for IPsec/SSL/TLS and similar functions.
• Memory reliability: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC support protects main memory and supports large memory configurations up to 16 Gbytes.
• Comprehensive system features: Integrated DMA, programmable interrupt controller, performance monitoring and JTAG boundary scan streamline system development and diagnostics.
• Robust package and thermal range: 783-pin FC-PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) surface mount package and 0 °C to 90 °C operating range fit compact embedded designs with standard commercial-temperature requirements.
