MPC860DPVR66D4

The MPC860DPVR66D4 is a member of the MPC860 PowerQUICC family from NXP Semiconductors: a one‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor designed for embedded controller applications. Built on Power Architecture technology with an integrated Communications Processor Module (CPM) and enhanced memory controller, it is aimed at communications and networking systems and other controller-focused designs.

With a 66 MHz core, integrated peripheral support and a compact 357‑ball PBGA package, the MPC860DPVR66D4 delivers a balanced combination of integration and connectivity for embedded designs that require on‑chip communications support and DRAM interfacing.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  32‑bit MPC8xx core running at 66 MHz, implementing Power Architecture technology and supporting instruction and data caches as part of the MPC860 family architecture.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  Integrated CPM for dedicated communications handling and support for common serial protocols, improving offload of protocol processing from the main core.
• Ethernet Interfaces  Multiple Ethernet interfaces: two 10 Mbps ports and one 10/100 Mbps port, enabling versatile local networking and legacy connectivity options.
• Memory and Storage  Enhanced memory controller with DRAM support for flexible system memory choices and reliable data buffering.
• Serial Protocols  Additional interfaces include HDLC/SDLC support for robust framed serial communications.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 357‑PBGA (25×25) / 357‑BBGA package designed for surface‑mount assembly, suitable for compact embedded boards.
• Operating Range and Power  I/O operates at 3.3 V and the device is specified for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications and Networking Equipment  On‑chip CPM and multiple Ethernet ports make the MPC860DPVR66D4 suitable for protocol handling, gateway or controller roles in networking devices.
• Embedded Control Systems  The 32‑bit core and DRAM support enable control and coordination tasks in embedded controllers for industrial and commercial equipment.
• Legacy and Specialized Serial Interfaces  HDLC/SDLC and multiple serial channels allow integration into systems that require framed serial communication or legacy interface support.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Offload  The CPM provides dedicated resources for communications tasks, reducing CPU overhead and simplifying protocol implementation.
• Flexible Memory Support  An enhanced memory controller with DRAM support enables use of common high‑performance memory types for responsive system operation.
• Multiple Ethernet Options  Three on‑chip Ethernet ports (two 10 Mbps, one 10/100 Mbps) support diverse networking topologies and enable mixed‑speed connectivity.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount BGA  The 357‑ball PBGA (25×25) package minimizes board footprint while providing a high connection density for embedded applications.
• Production and Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
• NXP‑Backed PowerQUICC Family  Part of the MPC860 PowerQUICC family with available hardware specifications and user documentation to support development and integration.
