MPC8536BVTANGA

The MPC8536BVTANGA is a PowerPC e500-based embedded microprocessor operating at 800 MHz and packaged in a 783-pin FC‑PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm). It targets embedded applications that require integrated I/O, storage and networking support with on-chip security acceleration.

Designed for embedded and communications systems, the device combines a single 32‑bit e500 core with a broad set of peripheral controllers and system features to simplify board design and accelerate time to market.

Key Features

• Core  Single PowerPC e500 32‑bit core at 800 MHz, providing a deterministic embedded processing engine for control and data‑plane tasks.
• Cache and Processing  Integrated L1 (32 KB instruction, 32 KB data) and 512 KB L2 cache (as specified in series datasheet) to improve application throughput and reduce external memory access.
• Memory Controller  On‑chip DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with ECC support and a 64‑bit/32‑bit data bus capable of supporting up to 16 Gbytes of main memory (per series documentation).
• Security Engine (SEC)  Dedicated security co‑processor for cryptography and protocol acceleration, optimized for IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI and similar algorithms as described in the device family documentation.
• Ethernet  Two enhanced three‑speed Ethernet controllers supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps with multiple MAC/PHY interface options and IEEE 1588 compatibility for networked applications.
• Storage Interfaces  Two Serial ATA controllers supporting SATA 3 Gbps and an XOR engine for parity operations useful in RAID and storage subsystems.
• High‑speed I/O  Three USB 2.0 dual‑role controllers, multiple PCI Express lanes (three multiplexed PCIe interfaces) and additional high‑speed serial interfaces including SGMII support.
• System and Boot  eLBC enhanced local bus, eSDHC support for SD/MMC boot capability, integrated DMA, dual I2C and DUARTs to support a variety of system topologies.
• Package & Mounting  783‑pin FC‑PBGA package (29 mm × 29 mm) in tray format, surface‑mount assembly suitable for standard PCB processes.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications  Router, switch and gateway platforms that require integrated multi‑gigabit Ethernet, protocol acceleration and precise timing (IEEE 1588).
• Storage Appliances  NAS and storage controllers leveraging dual SATA ports and XOR parity acceleration for RAID and data‑integrity tasks.
• Security Appliances  VPN, firewall and secure gateway devices that benefit from on‑chip cryptographic acceleration for IPsec, SSL/TLS and related protocols.
• Embedded Control Systems  Industrial and communications controllers that need a single, integrated processor with DDR2/DDR3 memory support, multiple high‑speed I/O and robust power‑management modes.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated I/O and Storage: On‑die Ethernet, SATA and USB controllers reduce external bridge components and simplify BOM.
• Hardware Security Acceleration: Dedicated SEC engine offloads cryptographic workloads, improving throughput for secure networking and storage functions.
• Scalable Memory Subsystem: DDR2/DDR3 controller with ECC support and wide data bus options enables high memory capacity and data integrity for demanding embedded applications.
• Flexible High‑speed Connectivity: Multiple PCIe lanes, SGMII-capable Ethernet and USB 2.0 controllers support a wide range of peripheral and expansion options.
• Compact, Industry‑grade Package: 783‑pin FC‑PBGA (29×29 mm) offers a high pin count in a standardized surface‑mount format for complex embedded boards.
