MPC8572ECPXARLD

The MPC8572ECPXARLD is a dual-core PowerPC e500 microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, operating at 1.067 GHz and supplied in a 1023-FCBGA (33×33) package. Designed for embedded and industrial applications, it combines high-performance processing with integrated memory controllers and hardware security features to address networking, control and compute-centric embedded designs.

Key Features

• Dual PowerPC e500 cores (1.067 GHz) Two high-performance, 32-bit Book E–enhanced cores running at 1.067 GHz provide parallel processing for embedded workloads.
• L1 caches with parity and locking 32 KB L1 instruction cache and 32 KB L1 data cache with parity protection; caches can be locked entirely or on a per-line basis for deterministic operation.
• Signal and floating-point engines Integrated SPE auxiliary processing unit for vector integer/fractional operations, plus embedded vector/scalar single-precision and a double-precision floating-point APU for numeric and DSP-style tasks.
• On-chip DDR2 / DDR3 memory controllers Integrated controllers for DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM simplify system memory design and support high-bandwidth memory interfaces.
• Hardware security features Built-in cryptography and a random number generator provide hardware-assisted security primitives for embedded security functions.
• Rich peripheral and high-speed interfaces Includes a broad set of peripherals described in the device documentation such as Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet (eTSEC), PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, high-speed serial interfaces, I²C, GPIO, DUART and JTAG.
• 36-bit real addressing and MMU 36-bit real addressing and a memory management unit (MMU) tailored for embedded applications enable large addressable memory spaces and virtual memory support.
• Industrial qualification and packaging Qualified for industrial use, supplied in a 1023-FCBGA (33×33) surface-mount package and shipped in tray format.

Typical Applications

• Communications infrastructure — Suitable for embedded network processors and appliances that require dual-core performance, Ethernet interfaces and high-speed serial connectivity.
• Industrial control and automation — Used in control systems and industrial devices where deterministic caching, MMU support and industrial qualification are required.
• Embedded networking equipment — Fits routers, switches and other packet-processing devices leveraging the device’s memory controllers and hardware security features.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated dual-core architecture: Two Book E–enhanced PowerPC e500 cores at 1.067 GHz deliver parallel compute capability within a single device footprint.
• Deterministic cache behavior: Lockable L1 instruction and data caches with parity protection help maintain predictable performance for real-time and embedded tasks.
• On-chip memory controllers: Built-in DDR2 and DDR3 controllers streamline system design and reduce the need for external memory controller components.
• Hardware security primitives: Integrated cryptography and a random number generator provide a secure foundation for protected communication and secure boot implementations.
• Comprehensive interface set: Support for Ethernet, PCI Express, Serial RapidIO and common serial/parallel peripherals enables flexible system connectivity without relying on numerous external ASICs.
• Industrial suitability: Manufacturing and qualification targeted at industrial deployments support reliable operation in embedded control and networking environments.
