MPC8560CVT667JC

The MPC8560CVT667JC is a PowerPC e500-based microprocessor integrating a 32-bit, single-core CPU running at 667 MHz in a 783‑FCBGA (29×29) package. It combines the processor core with the system logic and peripheral controllers required for embedded networking, telecommunications, and wireless infrastructure applications.

As a member of the PowerQUICC III family, this device provides on-chip subsystems—such as memory controllers, communications processors, and multi-speed Ethernet MACs—that simplify board design and accelerate time to market for embedded designs targeting communications and infrastructure markets.

Key Features

• Core Processor — PowerPC e500 32-bit architecture; single core operating at 667 MHz.
• On-chip Caches — 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache with parity protection, with cache locking support for deterministic embedded behavior.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) — Integrated CPM for communications tasks; CPM software compatibility with previous PowerQUICC families and CPM operation documented in the datasheet.
• Memory Controllers — Integrated controllers supporting DDR and SDRAM memory types.
• Ethernet — Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet MACs for multi-port Gigabit connectivity.
• Peripheral and Bus Support — On-chip controllers and resources for PCI/PCI‑X, RapidIO, local bus, I2C, JTAG and DMA are described in the device documentation.
• Package and Mounting — 783‑FCBGA (29×29) supplier device package; surface-mount device supplied in tray format.

Typical Applications

• Network Appliances — Use the dual Gigabit Ethernet MACs and integrated bus controllers to build routers, switches, and edge appliances.
• Telecommunications Equipment — Integrated communications processing and memory interfaces enable protocol handling and packet processing in telecom systems.
• Wireless Infrastructure — System-level integration supports wireless baseband/control functions where on-chip peripherals reduce external component count.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated System Logic: Combines processor core with memory controllers, Ethernet MACs and communications subsystems to reduce BOM and simplify board design.
• Deterministic Cache Behavior: Cache locking and parity-protected L1 caches help maintain predictable performance for real-time embedded workloads.
