MPC8536AVTAULA

The MPC8536AVTAULA is a PowerPC e500-based embedded microprocessor operating at 1.333 GHz. This single-core, 32-bit MPU combines a high-performance core and on-chip system features targeted at embedded and consumer applications that require integrated connectivity, storage and security capabilities.

Designed for system-level integration, the device pairs the e500 core with comprehensive memory and I/O subsystems to support networking, storage and control applications while providing hardware security acceleration and power-management modes.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture PowerPC e500 32-bit core running at 1.333 GHz with MMU and floating-point/vector APU capabilities described for the MPC85xx series.
• Cache Integrated L1 and L2 cache (32-Kbyte data + 32-Kbyte instruction L1, 512-Kbyte L2 as specified for the series) to improve instruction and data throughput.
• Memory DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus and support up to 16 Gbytes of main memory (series specification).
• Security Integrated security engine (SEC) optimized for cryptographic algorithms used in IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI and related protocols; includes XOR engine useful for RAID parity operations.
• Ethernet & Networking Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps with SGMII and IEEE Std 1588 compatibility and TCP/IP acceleration features (series capability).
• Storage & Peripheral I/O Two Serial ATA controllers (SATA I/II, 3 Gbps), enhanced SD host controller (eSDHC) and three USB 2.0 controllers for flexible storage and peripheral connectivity.
• High-speed Expansion Multiple high-speed interfaces including up to three PCI Express interfaces (PCIe 1.0a compatible) and a PCI 2.2 compatible controller for add-on cards and accelerators.
• System & Interfaces Enhanced SPI/eSPI boot support, dual I2C, DUART, integrated DMA controller, programmable interrupt controller and JTAG boundary-scan support.
• Power Management On-chip power management modes with support for Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog and Deep Sleep and multiple wake sources including LAN and USB events (series feature).
• Package & Environmental 783-pin FC-PBGA (783-FCPBGA, 29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package; RoHS compliant; operating temperature 0 °C to 90 °C. Qualification: Consumer.

Typical Applications

• Network Security Appliances — Dual gigabit Ethernet and an integrated SEC engine provide hardware acceleration for IPsec, SSL/TLS and other secure networking stacks.
• Storage and NAS Systems — Dual SATA controllers and XOR parity acceleration support RAID and high-throughput storage applications.
• Telecommunications & Wireless Infrastructure — Security and protocol acceleration for standards such as IEEE 802.16e™ and 3GPP (as described for the series), combined with multiple high-speed I/O options.
• Embedded Control & Industrial Systems — ECC-protected DDR2/DDR3 memory support and extensive I/O (PCIe, USB, SD/eSDHC, DUART) for robust embedded designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: Dual gigabit Ethernet, multiple PCIe ports, SATA and USB controllers reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Hardware security acceleration: Integrated SEC engine and XOR parity support offload cryptography and RAID tasks from the main core, improving throughput for secure and storage workloads.
• Memory reliability with ECC: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC support enables detection and correction of single-bit errors and detection of multi-bit errors for increased system integrity.
• Flexible expansion and storage: Multiple PCIe lanes, eSDHC and three USB 2.0 controllers enable a wide range of peripheral and storage architectures.
• Power management and wake capabilities: Multiple low-power modes and wake sources (LAN, USB, GPIO, timers) allow designers to optimize system power use.
• Production-ready package: 783-FCPBGA (29 × 29 mm) surface-mount package and RoHS compliance facilitate integration into consumer and embedded product lines.
