MPC8540VT833LB

The MPC8540VT833LB is a single‑core PowerPC e500 microprocessor IC operating at 833 MHz, packaged in a 783‑FCPBGA (29×29) surface‑mount package. It integrates processor core functionality with system logic and memory interfaces targeted at networking, telecommunications and embedded infrastructure applications.

Designed for embedded designs, the device combines a Book E–enhanced Power Architecture core with integrated memory controllers, multiple Ethernet interfaces and a broad set of system peripherals to simplify board-level design and accelerate time to market.

Key Features

• Core — PowerPC e500 32‑bit processor core running at 833 MHz with embedded category architecture for deterministic embedded operation.
• Cache — 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache with parity protection; includes a 256 KB L2 cache/SRAM as documented for the MPC8540 family.
• Memory Controllers — Integrated DDR and SDRAM controllers for system memory interfacing and high throughput data paths.
• Ethernet — Multiple Ethernet interfaces: one 10/100 Mbps and two 10/100/1000 Mbps controllers as specified in the device overview.
• Peripheral Interfaces — On‑chip DUART plus support for standard system interfaces referenced in the family datasheet (I2C, local bus, JTAG, PCI/PCI‑X, RapidIO).
• System Integration — On‑chip system logic that includes DMA channels and peripheral controllers to reduce external component count.
• Package & Mounting — 783‑FCPBGA supplier device package (29×29 mm), surface mount; package case referenced as 783‑BFBGA/FCBGA.
• Operating Range — Qualified for consumer temperature range from 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances — Control and packet‑processing tasks using integrated Ethernet controllers and DMA to offload data movement.
• Telecommunications Equipment — Embedded host processing and protocol handling leveraging the PowerPC e500 core and on‑chip system logic.
• Infrastructure & Wireless Systems — Baseband control, system management and interface bridging where integrated memory controllers and high‑speed peripheral connectivity simplify design.
• Embedded Gateways and Routers — Control plane and management tasks supported by a single high‑performance core with extensive I/O and memory interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Single high‑frequency e500 core: 833 MHz PowerPC e500 core provides a solid balance of performance and deterministic embedded behavior for control and protocol tasks.
• Integrated memory subsystem: On‑chip DDR/SDRAM controllers combined with L1 and L2 caches reduce external memory design complexity and improve data throughput.
• Multi‑port Ethernet support: One 10/100 Mbps and two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces enable diverse networking topologies without additional PHYs on board.
• Rich peripheral set: DUART and the family’s documented support for I2C, local bus, JTAG, PCI/PCI‑X and RapidIO facilitate flexible system connectivity and debug.
• Compact BGA package: 783‑FCPBGA (29×29 mm) surface‑mount package supports high‑density designs while remaining RoHS compliant.
• Designed for embedded systems: Integration of processor core with system logic (DMA, memory controllers, peripheral interfaces) reduces BOM and simplifies PCB layout.
