MPC8536CVTANGA

The MPC8536CVTANGA is a PowerPC e500-based microprocessor IC featuring a single 32-bit core running at 800 MHz. It integrates a broad set of high-performance peripherals and subsystems—memory controllers with ECC, security acceleration, multi‑speed Ethernet, SATA, PCI Express and USB—targeted at embedded networking, communications and storage applications.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture PowerPC e500 32-bit core operating at 800 MHz with an MMU and embedded floating-point and vector APUs for numeric and signal processing tasks.
• Cache and Memory Subsystem Integrated L1 (32 KB data / 32 KB instruction) and 512 KB L2 cache (8-way set associative). DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus, up to 333 MHz clock (667 MHz data rate) and support for up to 16 Gbytes of main memory.
• Hardware Security Engine (SEC) Integrated SEC accelerator optimized for cryptographic algorithms used in IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI, SRTP, IEEE 802.16e and 3GPP, plus an XOR engine for parity tasks in RAID storage.
• Ethernet Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with SGMII support, IEEE 1588 compatibility and TCP/IP acceleration and QoS features.
• Storage Interfaces Two Serial ATA (SATA) controllers supporting SATA I/II (3 Gbps) data rates and RAID-related parity support via the XOR engine.
• High‑Speed I/O Up to three PCI Express interfaces (flexible lane configurations) and a PCI 2.2-compatible controller for high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity.
• USB and Peripheral Controllers Three USB 2.0 dual-role controllers, enhanced SD host controller (eSDHC) with boot capability, enhanced serial peripheral interfaces and multiple UART/I2C ports.
• System and Power Management Integrated four-channel DMA, programmable interrupt controller, JTAG boundary-scan, and multiple low-power modes (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) with wake sources including LAN, USB, GPIO and timers.
• Package and Mounting 783-pin FC‑PBGA package, 29 mm × 29 mm, surface mount; supplied in tray format.

Typical Applications

• Network and Security Appliances On-chip SEC engine plus dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers and TCP/IP acceleration make the device suitable for secure gateway and firewall functions.
• Storage Systems and NAS Dual SATA controllers and XOR parity acceleration support RAID and high-throughput storage designs.
• Telecommunications and Carrier Equipment Protocol offload, IEEE 1588 support and high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SGMII) support telecom and base-station subsystems described in standards such as 3GPP and IEEE 802.16e.
• Embedded I/O and Expansion Platforms PCIe lanes, multiple USB ports, eSDHC and expanded serial interfaces enable rich peripheral and expansion-board designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Connectivity: Dual Gigabit Ethernet, dual SATA, multiple PCIe ports and three USB controllers reduce external controller needs and simplify system design.
• Hardware Security Acceleration: Integrated SEC engine and XOR parity support offload cryptographic and RAID parity workloads from the CPU core, improving throughput for secure and storage applications.
• Robust Memory Subsystem with ECC: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC, wide data bus options and support for up to 16 GB of main memory enhance system reliability and data integrity.
• Flexible High‑Speed Expansion: Multiple PCI Express interfaces with configurable lane widths provide adaptable bandwidth for add‑on cards and peripherals.
• Power and System Management: Multiple low-power modes and programmable wake sources enable power-optimized embedded deployments.
• Proven Packaging: 783-FCPBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact, board-level integration.
