Key Features

• Core PowerPC e500 32-bit core running at 1.333 GHz with a Signal Processing Engine (SPE) auxiliary processing unit for vector-style integer and fractional operations.
• Caches 32-Kbyte L1 instruction cache and 32-Kbyte L1 data cache with parity protection; caches can be locked entirely or on a per-line basis with separate locking for instructions and data.
• Memory Controllers On-chip support for DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM memory controllers to accommodate a range of system memory architectures.
• Ethernet Four integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces (eTSEC) suitable for multiport networking and communications tasks.
• Peripheral Interfaces Rich serial and system interfaces including DUART, I2C, JTAG, PCI/PCI-X, PCI Express, Serial RapidIO and High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI) as described in the device hardware specifications.
• System and Debug Programmable interrupt controller and standard debug interfaces for development and system integration; JTAG support included.
• Package and Mounting 783-ball FCPBGA package (29 × 29 mm) in a surface-mount format for compact board implementations.
• Operating Range and Compliance Qualified for consumer applications with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances Multiport Ethernet and high-speed interfaces make this device suitable for routers, switches and gateway platforms requiring integrated network connectivity.
• Communications Infrastructure On-chip SPE and high-speed serial interfaces support signal-processing tasks and data-plane workloads in embedded communications equipment.
• Industrial and Embedded Control DDR/DDR2 memory support and a robust interrupt/serial peripheral set suit controller applications and I/O-heavy embedded systems.
• Storage and I/O Controllers PCI/PCI-X and PCI Express capabilities enable use in systems that bridge host processors to storage or high-speed peripherals.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Multiport Networking: Four on-chip 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces provide native multiport connectivity for networked embedded systems.
• Deterministic L1 Cache Control: Lockable 32-Kbyte instruction and data caches with parity permit fine-grained control of critical code and data to improve real-time behavior.
• Signal-Processing Acceleration: The SPE auxiliary processing unit delivers vector-style integer and fractional operations to accelerate embedded signal-processing workloads.
• Flexible Memory Support: Built-in DDR, DDR2 and SDRAM controllers enable designers to match memory topology and bandwidth to application needs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 783-FCPBGA (29 × 29 mm) package supports dense board layouts while providing the I/O count required for complex embedded designs.
• RoHS-Compliant Consumer Qualification: Compliance and consumer qualification facilitate integration into consumer-facing embedded products within the specified temperature range.
