Built on the MPC8572E PowerQUICC III family architecture, the device combines real-time-capable cores, on-chip accelerators and peripherals to support networking, communications and high-performance embedded system designs.

Key Features

• Dual PowerPC e500 cores — Two Book E-enhanced, 32-bit processor cores running at 1.5 GHz, delivering parallel processing for embedded workloads.
• Deterministic caches & MMU — 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches per core with parity protection and cache-locking options; on-chip MMU designed for embedded applications.
• Signal and floating-point acceleration — Embedded SPE APU for vector integer/fractional processing, single-precision vector/scalar FP APU, and double-precision floating-point APU for 32/64-bit floating operations.
• Memory subsystem — Integrated controllers for DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM, enabling flexible system memory configurations.
• Security features — On-chip cryptography and a hardware random number generator to support secure system functions.
• High-speed connectivity — Includes Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet (eTSEC), PCI Express, Serial RapidIO and multiple serial/peripheral interfaces for system interconnect.
• Peripheral and system support — Integrated DUART, I2C, GPIO, JTAG, local bus controller (eLBC) and high-speed serial interfaces cited in the product documentation.
• Package and mounting — 1023-FCBGA (33×33) supplier device package, surface-mount, supplied in tray for volume assembly.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications — Leverages dual cores, eTSEC Ethernet and high-speed interconnects for embedded routers, switches and telecom equipment.
• Industrial Control — Provides the processing, memory interfaces and deterministic cache controls needed for complex automation and control systems.
• Storage & I/O Controllers — DDR2/DDR3 support plus PCI Express and local bus options make it suitable for storage controllers and I/O bridging designs.
• High-performance Embedded Computing — Floating-point and signal-processing APUs enable compute-intensive embedded applications that require vector and FP operations.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated processing: Dual PowerPC e500 cores combined with on-chip accelerators reduce system partitioning and simplify board-level design.
• Flexible memory support: Native DDR2 and DDR3 controllers allow designers to choose memory technology that matches performance and cost targets.
• Extensive connectivity: Multiple high-speed interfaces (Ethernet, PCIe, Serial RapidIO) provide scalable options for networking and peripheral expansion.
• Hardware security primitives: Built-in cryptography and a random number generator enable secure features without adding external security devices.
• Deterministic cache behavior: Cache parity protection and locking capability help achieve predictable execution for real-time and embedded workloads.
• Compact, high-pin-count package: 1023-FCBGA (33×33) surface-mount package provides a dense pinout for complex system integration while minimizing PCB footprint.
