MPC8548VTAQGD

The MPC8548VTAQGD is a PowerPC e500-based microprocessor from the MPC8548 family, delivered in a 783-FCPBGA (29×29) surface-mount package. It integrates a 1.0 GHz 32-bit core with features tailored for embedded and consumer applications where network connectivity and memory flexibility are required.

Built for embedded system designs that require integrated connectivity and signal-processing capability, this device provides a combination of on-chip Ethernet interfaces, memory controller support, and an auxiliary signal-processing engine for vector operations.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  PowerPC e500 32-bit core running at 1 GHz, with a 32-Kbyte L1 instruction cache and a 32-Kbyte L1 data cache with parity protection.
• Signal Processing Engine (SPE) / APU  Auxiliary processing unit for signal-processing instructions, including vector (64-bit) integer and fractional operations.
• Memory Controllers  On-chip support for DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM memory interfaces to accommodate a range of system memory choices.
• Ethernet Connectivity  Four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for multi-port networking and communications designs.
• Serial Interfaces  Includes DUART for serial communications and debug connectivity.
• Package and Mounting  783-FCPBGA / 783-BBGA FCBGA package (29×29) supplied as a surface-mount device to simplify board-level integration.
• Operating Range  Rated for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications  Multi-port Ethernet support makes this device suitable for routers, switches and other network appliances requiring multiple 1 GbE interfaces.
• Consumer Embedded Systems  Designed and qualified for consumer applications that need a balanced mix of processing performance, memory flexibility, and connectivity.
• Embedded Control Platforms  On-chip memory controllers and DUART support embedded controllers and appliance control systems that require external DRAM and serial I/O.

Unique Advantages
