MPC8572CLVTAULD

The MPC8572CLVTAULD is a PowerPC e500-based microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, configured as a dual-core, 32-bit MPU running at 1.333 GHz in a 1023-FCBGA (33×33) package. Designed for embedded applications, it combines high-performance processing cores with integrated memory controllers and a broad set of high-speed interfaces to address communications, networking and industrial embedded system requirements.

With on-chip DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers, hardware cryptography and a true random number generator, this device delivers a balanced platform for designs that require compute throughput, secure processing and extensive I/O integration.

Key Features

• Dual PowerPC e500 Cores — Two high-performance, 32-bit Book E–enhanced cores operating at 1.333 GHz, suitable for parallel embedded processing tasks.
• L1 Caches with Parity — 32-Kbyte L1 instruction cache and 32-Kbyte L1 data cache with parity protection; caches can be locked fully or per-line for deterministic behavior.
• Signal and Floating-Point APUs — Includes a signal-processing engine (SPE) APU plus embedded vector/scalar single-precision and double-precision floating-point APUs for numeric and DSP-style workloads.
• Memory Subsystem — Integrated DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM controllers for flexible external memory choices and system memory bandwidth.
• Security Capabilities — On-chip cryptography and a hardware random number generator to support secure processing and cryptographic operations.
• Rich High-Speed Interfaces — Hardware features and controllers described in the product documentation include Ethernet (eTSEC), PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI), and a local bus controller (eLBC) for diverse I/O connectivity.
• Peripheral and System Support — Integrated blocks for JTAG, I2C, GPIO and programmable interrupt control to support system bring-up and peripheral management.
• Addressing and MMU — 36-bit real addressing and a memory management unit (MMU) targeted for embedded use cases requiring advanced memory mapping and protection.
• Package and Mounting — Supplied in a 1023-FCBGA (33×33) surface-mount package and provided in tray packaging.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking and Communications — Leverages integrated eTSEC Ethernet, PCI Express and Serial RapidIO interfaces for routing, switching and network processing platforms.
• Industrial Control and Automation — Dual cores, deterministic cache control and robust memory support make it suitable for control systems requiring concurrent processing and real-time handling.
• Data Path and Signal Processing — SPE and floating-point APUs support vector and numeric workloads commonly found in signal processing and data-plane acceleration.
• Secure Embedded Systems — On-chip cryptography and a hardware RNG provide hardware-assisted security for embedded applications that require secure boot, encryption or secure communications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Multi-core Performance: Two PowerPC e500 cores at 1.333 GHz provide parallel processing capability for multitasking embedded workloads.
• Integrated Memory Flexibility: Built-in DDR2/DDR3 controllers simplify memory subsystem design and offer options for different system cost and performance targets.
• Hardware Security Primitives: Cryptography and a hardware random number generator reduce software overhead for secure operations and key generation.
• Comprehensive I/O Integration: High-speed interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe, Serial RapidIO, HSSI) and peripheral controllers lower bill-of-materials and speed time to market for connected systems.
• Deterministic Cache Control: Lockable L1 instruction and data caches with parity protection help achieve predictable latency in real-time segments of an application.
• Documented Hardware Specifications: The device is supported by detailed hardware specification documentation that describes electrical, thermal and functional blocks used in system design.
