MPC8572EVTATLD

The MPC8572EVTATLD is a dual-core PowerPC e500 microprocessor IC running at 1.2 GHz in a 1023‑FCBGA (33×33) package for surface-mount applications. Designed for embedded systems, it integrates high-performance processing, memory controller support for DDR2/DDR3, and on-chip security features to address demanding communications and industrial workloads.

Key Features

• Dual PowerPC e500 cores — Two 32‑bit Book E–enhanced cores operating at 1.2 GHz provide scalable processing for concurrent embedded tasks.
• On‑chip caches and SPE — 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches with parity protection; caches support full or per-line locking and separate instruction/data locking. Includes a Signal-Processing Engine (SPE) auxiliary processing unit for vector integer and fractional operations.
• Floating‑point support — Embedded vector/scalar single‑precision floating‑point APUs and a double‑precision floating‑point APU for mixed numeric workloads.
• Memory controllers — Integrated DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM controllers to support high-bandwidth system memory configurations.
• Security features — On‑chip cryptography and a random number generator to support secure embedded applications.
• Rich peripheral and interface set — Hardware blocks and controllers documented in the hardware specification include Enhanced Three‑Speed Ethernet (eTSEC), PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, high‑speed serial interfaces (HSSI), DUART, I2C, GPIO and JTAG.
• System support and control — Integrated MMU, programmable interrupt controller, local bus controller (eLBC), and system design resources for embedded OS and firmware integration.
• Package and mounting — 1023‑FCBGA (33×33) supplier device package supplied in tray format for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Networking & communications — Built‑in Ethernet, PCI Express and Serial RapidIO interfaces enable use in routers, switches and communications equipment that require packet processing and high‑speed I/O.
• Industrial automation — Dual cores, robust I/O and DDR2/DDR3 memory support make the device suitable for embedded controllers, protocol gateways and real‑time control systems.
• High‑performance embedded systems — Floating‑point APUs, SPE and cache locking capabilities support compute‑intensive embedded applications that need deterministic performance.
• Secure embedded appliances — Integrated cryptography and a random number generator provide building blocks for devices that require on‑chip security functions.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multi‑function processing: Dual PowerPC e500 cores combined with SPE and floating‑point APUs deliver versatile compute options for integer, vector and floating‑point tasks.
• Comprehensive I/O and system controllers: On‑chip Ethernet, PCIe, Serial RapidIO and local bus controllers reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Flexible memory support: Native DDR2 and DDR3 controllers enable high‑bandwidth memory configurations without additional memory bridge components.
• Security building blocks: Embedded cryptography and RNG support secure boot and runtime security features within the platform.
• Deterministic cache control: Cache locking (per-line and full locks for instruction and data) helps achieve predictable real‑time performance.
• Package ready for production assembly: 1023‑FCBGA (33×33) surface‑mount package supplied in tray format aligns with standard manufacturing processes.
