MPC860DECZQ50D4

The MPC860DECZQ50D4 is a single-core 32-bit microprocessor in the MPC860 PowerQUICC family, featuring a 50 MHz MPC8xx core and integrated communications peripherals. Designed for controller applications, it is suited to communications and networking systems where integrated I/O, memory control and industrial-temperature operation are required.

Built on Power Architecture technology, the device combines a 32-bit CPU core with an enhanced communications processor module (CPM), DRAM controller capability and on-chip interfaces to streamline embedded system designs.

Key Features

• Core  Single 32-bit MPC8xx core running at 50 MHz, providing deterministic processing for embedded control and communications tasks.
• Communications/CPM  Includes a Communications Processor Module (CPM) for handling communications functions; CPM features and channels support serial and network-centric I/O.
• Memory  Integrated DRAM controller to support external memory configurations required by embedded applications.
• Ethernet  On-chip Ethernet capability supporting two 10 Mbps interfaces for network connectivity and data exchange.
• Interfaces  Additional interfaces include I2C and a PCMCIA socket controller capability referenced in the family documentation for peripheral expansion.
• Package & Mounting  357-pin PBGA package (25 × 25 mm) in a surface-mount form factor to support compact board designs.
• Operating Conditions  Industrial-grade operating temperature range from −40 °C to 95 °C and 3.3 V I/O compatibility for industrial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Use as the central controller in routers, gateways or protocol converters where integrated communications processing and Ethernet are required.
• Networking Systems  Ideal for embedded network appliances and control planes that need a combination of CPU processing and CPM-managed serial/network interfaces.
• Industrial Controllers  Suitable for industrial automation and control platforms that demand industrial temperature operation and 3.3 V I/O compatibility.
• Embedded Controller Platforms  Serves in single-chip controller roles where DRAM support and peripheral I/O (I2C, PCMCIA support noted in family documentation) simplify system architecture.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem: The CPM offloads communications processing from the CPU, reducing software overhead for protocol handling and serial I/O.
• Power Architecture Core: A 32-bit MPC8xx core delivers predictable embedded performance at 50 MHz for control and networking tasks.
• DRAM Support: On-chip memory controller support enables flexible external memory choices to match application requirements.
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated for −40 °C to 95 °C operation, enabling deployment in harsh environments.
• Compact PBGA Package: 357-PBGA (25 × 25 mm) surface-mount package balances I/O density and board space for embedded designs.
• Standards and Compliance: RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for modern product development.
