• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  Integrated CPM for communications and DSP‑style processing tasks, extending on‑chip support for communications-centric workloads.
• Memory Subsystem  On‑chip DRAM controller to interface with external DRAM devices and support system memory needs.
• Ethernet Capability  Ethernet support indicated as 10 Mbps with multiple channels (4) for networking and data link tasks.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Includes I2C and PCMCIA socket controller support (up to two sockets) and an integrated real‑time clock for system and peripheral management.
• Power and IO  3.3 V I/O voltage, suitable for standard embedded system voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting  357‑pin PBGA package (25 × 25 mm), surface‑mount for high‑density board designs.
• Temperature and Qualification  Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Networking & Communications Equipment  Integrated CPM and Ethernet capability make the MPC860ENVR66D4 suitable for embedded switches, controllers and communications modules.
• Embedded Control Systems  Single‑chip CPU with DRAM controller, I2C and RTC support suits general embedded controllers that need integrated memory and peripheral management.
