MPC8536CVTAKG

The MPC8536CVTAKG is a PowerPC e500-based 32-bit microprocessor operating at 600 MHz in a 783-pin FC-PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) package. It integrates a rich set of on-chip peripherals and controllers to address embedded networking, storage and communications designs.

Designed for systems that require high integration and protocol offload, the device combines a single e500 core with extensive memory, security, I/O and high-speed interface support to streamline system design and reduce external component count.

Key Features

• Core PowerPC e500 32-bit core running at 600 MHz with integrated MMU and floating-point/vector APUs as specified for the MPC85xx series.
• Memory Subsystem Integrated DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus supporting up to 333 MHz clock (667 MHz data rate) and up to 16 Gbytes of main memory (series specification).
• Caches On-chip L1 and L2 caches for improved instruction and data throughput (L1: 32-Kbyte data and 32-Kbyte instruction; L2: 512-Kbyte, 8-way set associative as per series documentation).
• Security Engine (SEC) Integrated security engine optimized for cryptographic algorithms and protocols, with an XOR engine for parity tasks in storage/RAID applications.
• High-Speed Networking & I/O Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with SGMII support, TCP/IP acceleration and QoS features; three USB 2.0 dual-role controllers; two SATA controllers supporting SATA 3 Gbps.
• PCI Express Multiple PCI Express interfaces (three PCIe ports) with flexible lane configurations (x8/x4/x2/x1 and combinations of x4/x2/x1 ports) for high-bandwidth peripheral expansion.
• Storage & Boot Options eSDHC host controller for SD/MMC with boot capability and enhanced serial ATA controllers supporting SATA I/II data rates.
• System and Power Management Integrated power-management modes including Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog and Deep Sleep with wake events (LAN, USB, GPIO, timers, interrupts) and system performance monitor.
• Package & Mounting 783-FCPBGA (29 × 29 mm) surface-mount package suitable for high-density board designs.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment Use in routers, switches and gateways where dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers, packet acceleration and QoS support are required.
• Storage Systems Ideal for NAS and RAID controllers leveraging the SEC XOR engine, dual SATA ports and ECC-protected DDR memory for data integrity.
• Industrial Communication Embedded controllers and communication bridges that benefit from multiple high-speed serial interfaces, PCIe expansion and robust power-management modes.
• Security Appliances Appliances requiring on-chip cryptographic acceleration for IPsec, SSL/TLS and related protocols can use the integrated security engine to offload processing.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Connectivity: Dual Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB 2.0 ports, dual SATA controllers and multiple PCIe ports reduce external interface chips and simplify board design.
• Memory Reliability with ECC: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC support and large addressability allows up to 16 Gbytes of main memory while detecting and correcting single-bit errors.
• On-Chip Security Offload: Integrated SEC engine and XOR parity support accelerate cryptographic and RAID functions, freeing the main core for application tasks.
• Flexible Storage & Boot Paths: eSDHC boot capability and SATA support provide multiple boot and storage configurations for embedded systems.
• Performance and Cache Architecture: Dedicated L1 and sizable L2 caches improve sustained throughput for compute- and I/O-intensive workloads.
• Comprehensive Power Management: Multiple low-power modes with wake-on events enable designs that balance performance and energy efficiency.
