MPC8544EVTANGA

The MPC8544EVTANGA is a PowerQUICC-series microprocessor IC from NXP Semiconductors featuring a single PowerPC e500 32‑bit core targeting embedded applications. It combines on‑chip processing resources—including L1 instruction and data caches and auxiliary processing units described in the MPC8544E series datasheet—with integrated memory controllers and dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for networked embedded systems.

This device is suited for consumer-grade embedded designs that require a RISC PowerPC core, hardware security primitives, and high‑speed wired networking with support for DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM memory subsystems, delivered in a 783‑FCPBGA (29×29) surface‑mount package.

Key Features

• Core and Processing Single PowerPC e500 32‑bit core with on‑chip 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache (parity protected) and ancillary processing units (SPE and floating‑point APUs) as described in the MPC8544E series documentation.
• Memory Support Integrated controllers for DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM to support external system memory configurations.
• High‑Speed Ethernet Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces (dual Gigabit MACs) suitable for wired networking and communications tasks; datasheet references Enhanced Three‑Speed Ethernet (eTSEC).
• Security Features On‑chip cryptography capabilities and a hardware random number generator to support secure communications and protected data handling.
• APU and Floating‑Point Series documentation details a signal‑processing engine (SPE) APU and floating‑point APUs including double‑precision support for compute‑intensive embedded algorithms.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 783‑FCPBGA (29×29) surface‑mount package for compact, board‑level integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance Specified operating temperature from 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliant.
• Graphics No graphics acceleration—focused on control, networking and signal processing workloads.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Equipment Dual Gigabit Ethernet and integrated memory controllers make the part suitable for routers, switches, and network interface appliances where packet processing and secure communications are required.
• Communications Controllers The PowerPC e500 core with SPE and floating‑point APUs supports protocol handling and compute tasks in communication endpoints and gateway devices.
• Industrial and Consumer Embedded Systems Use in embedded control platforms that require deterministic processing, external DDR memory, and hardware security primitives in a consumer‑qualified device.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Networking and Memory Subsystems: Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet MACs plus DDR/DDR2/SDRAM controllers reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• On‑chip Security Primitives: Cryptography support and a hardware random number generator enable secure communications without adding discrete security ICs.
• Computational Flexibility: L1 caches and auxiliary processing units (SPE and floating‑point APUs) provide on‑chip acceleration for signal processing and numeric workloads referenced in the MPC8544E series documentation.
• Compact, Manufacturable Package: 783‑FCPBGA (29×29) surface‑mount package supports high‑density PCB layouts for space‑constrained embedded products.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for environmentally constrained designs.
• Extended Operating Temperature: Rated from 0 °C to 105 °C to accommodate a range of consumer and embedded operating environments.
