MPC8536EAVTAULA

The MPC8536EAVTAULA is a PowerPC e500-based, 32-bit microprocessor running at 1.333 GHz in a 783-pin FC‑PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) package. It integrates a high-performance CPU core, multi-level caches, a memory controller with ECC support, a dedicated security engine, and a broad set of high-speed I/O to address embedded networking, storage and communications platforms.

Designed for embedded applications that require combined processing performance, interfaces and security acceleration, this device targets systems that need integrated Ethernet, SATA, PCI Express and USB connectivity alongside proven memory and power-management features.

Key Features

• Core and CPU Subsystems PowerPC e500 core, 32-bit, single-core operation at 1.333 GHz with an MMU and floating-point/vector units for double-precision and single-precision workloads.
• On‑chip Cache Integrated L1 caches (32 KB instruction + 32 KB data) and a 512 KB L2 cache (8-way set associative) to improve instruction and data throughput.
• Memory Controller DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC support, one 64-bit/32-bit data bus, support up to 333 MHz clock (667 MHz data rate) and up to 16 GBytes of main memory, with hardware/software options for battery-backed memory and on-the-fly low-power modes.
• Security Engine (SEC) Integrated security engine optimized for common protocols and algorithms (IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI, SRTP and others) and includes XOR acceleration for RAID parity operations.
• Ethernet Two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps) with SGMII support, IEEE 1588 compatibility, MAC-level features and TCP/IP acceleration and QoS capabilities.
• Storage and High‑Speed I/O Two Serial ATA controllers supporting SATA I/II (3 Gbps) plus three USB 2.0 dual-role controllers and three PCI Express interfaces (configurable x8/x4/x2/x1 combinations) for flexible storage and expansion options.
• Peripheral and Bus Support PCI 2.2-compatible controller, 133-MHz 32-bit enhanced local bus (eLBC), enhanced SD host controller (eSDHC) with boot capability, four-channel DMA, dual I²C and DUART support, and programmable interrupt controller.
• Power Management and Diagnostics Multiple low-power modes (Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, Deep Sleep) with wake sources (LAN, USB, GPIO, timer, external interrupt), system performance monitor, and JTAG boundary-scan support.
• Package and Mounting 783‑pin FC‑PBGA (29 mm × 29 mm) surface-mount package suitable for high-pin-count embedded designs.

Typical Applications

• Networking and Routers: Use the dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers, TCP/IP acceleration and security engine to implement secure routing, VPN and network appliance functions.
• Storage Systems: Dual SATA controllers with XOR acceleration support RAID and storage-controller designs requiring hardware parity and high-throughput I/O.
• Telecommunications Equipment: High-speed PCIe, PCI and multiple I/O interfaces enable protocol offload, packet processing and line-card applications.
• Industrial Embedded Systems: ECC-protected DDR2/DDR3 memory, robust power modes and extensive peripheral support make it suitable for industrial controllers and embedded compute modules.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Security Acceleration: The on-chip SEC processes common cryptographic and tunnel protocols to offload CPU cycles and simplify secure product design.
• Rich High-Speed I/O Mix: Combined PCIe, SATA, USB and multi-speed Ethernet reduces the need for external bridges and simplifies system architecture.
• Memory Robustness: DDR2/DDR3 controller with full ECC and battery-backed memory options enhances data integrity for critical embedded applications.
• On‑chip Performance Features: L1/L2 caches, floating-point/vector APUs and an MMU provide deterministic compute capability for packet processing and control-plane tasks.
• Flexible Power Management: Multiple low-power modes with multiple wake sources support power-aware embedded designs and system-level energy control.
• System Integration: On-chip DMA, eLBC, eSDHC and serial interfaces simplify board design and reduce external component count.
