MPC860DEZQ50D4

The MPC860DEZQ50D4 is a single‑core 32‑bit microprocessor in the MPC8xx family, implementing Power Architecture technology and integrating a range of controller and communications peripherals on a single chip. It is designed for embedded controller applications and communications/networking systems where integrated peripheral functionality and compact packaging are important.

This device combines a 50 MHz MPC8xx core with an enhanced communications processor module (CPM), DRAM memory controller, I2C channel, PCMCIA socket controller capability, and dual Ethernet interfaces, delivering a tightly integrated solution for embedded networking and controller designs.

Key Features

• Core – 32‑bit MPC8xx core running at 50 MHz, with integrated memory management units (MMUs) and instruction/data caches as described in the device documentation.
• Communications Processor (CPM) – On‑chip communications co‑processor (CPM) to handle communications and protocol offload tasks for networking applications.
• Memory and DRAM Controller – Enhanced memory controller supporting DRAM types and system memory configurations for embedded applications.
• Ethernet Interfaces – Two 10 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for wired network connectivity and communications tasks.
• Peripheral Interfaces – I2C channel plus a PCMCIA socket controller capability supporting up to two sockets, enabling flexible peripheral and expansion options.
• Package and Mounting – 357‑pin PBGA (25×25 mm) surface‑mount package (357‑BBGA case), suitable for compact board layouts.
• Power and I/O – 3.3 V I/O signaling.
• Operating Range – Specified operating temperature range from 0 °C to 95 °C.
• Environmental – RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking Equipment – Use the integrated CPM and dual Ethernet interfaces for packet handling, protocol processing, and small network node designs.
• Embedded Controller Systems – Single‑chip integration of CPU, DRAM controller, I2C, and PCMCIA support makes it suitable for compact embedded controllers requiring on‑board expansion.
• PCMCIA‑Enabled Devices – Built‑in PCMCIA socket controller support allows straightforward implementation of PCMCIA peripheral interfaces and removable expansion.
