Key Features

• Core  Single 32-bit PowerPC e500 core at 1.0 GHz; dual-issue superscalar design with a 7-stage pipeline and support for single-precision floating-point operations.
• Memory & Cache  Integrated DDR/SDRAM memory controller support; 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache with parity protection and cache locking options (as documented for the series).
• Security & Cryptography  On-chip security features including cryptography support and a random number generator plus an SEC security co-processor (Co Processors Dsp: Security; SEC).
• Networking Interfaces  Two three-speed Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1000 Mbps) with MII management capabilities for wired network connectivity.
• System Integration & Peripherals  Includes CPM/DUART and other integrated controllers (local bus, I2C, PCI listed in series documentation) to support communications-centric system designs.
• Performance Monitoring & Debug  Series documentation notes enhanced hardware and software debug support and a performance monitor facility for system-level optimization.
• Package & Mounting  783-FCPBGA package (29×29) in a 783-ball FCBGA footprint; surface-mount mounting type.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Operating temperature range 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking Equipment  Designed for routers, switches and other network appliances that require integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and embedded communications processing.
• Telecommunications Infrastructure  Suited to telecom line cards and infrastructure modules that need on-chip system logic, memory controller support and security acceleration.
• Wireless Infrastructure  Applicable to base station and backhaul equipment where integrated peripherals and communications-focused features simplify system design.
• Embedded Communications Systems  Useful in embedded devices that benefit from an MC/GbE-capable processor with hardware security features and standard embedded interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Logic: Combines a PowerPC e500 core with on-chip Ethernet, memory controllers and peripheral controllers to reduce external component count.
• Security Acceleration: Built-in cryptography and random number generator plus an SEC co-processor help offload security functions from the main core.
• Embedded-Focused Architecture: Book E–compatible e500 core with MMU and debug facilities documented for embedded applications common to the PowerQUICC III family.
• Memory Flexibility: Integrated DDR/SDRAM controller support enables connection to common embedded memory types without separate controller ICs.
• Robust Packaging and Thermal Range: 783-FCPBGA (29×29) surface-mount package with an operating temperature range up to 105 °C for extended industrial-style environments.
