MPC860ENZQ66D4

The MPC860ENZQ66D4 is a single‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor IC operating at 66 MHz from the MPC860 (PowerQUICC) family. It combines a Power Architecture™ CPU core with an integrated communications processor module (CPM) and peripheral support aimed at communications and embedded controller applications.

Designed for embedded and networking use in consumer applications, this device integrates DRAM memory controller capability, multiple 10 Mbps Ethernet interfaces, I2C, PCMCIA support and a real‑time clock, delivering a compact, integrated solution for communications‑centric designs.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture Single 32‑bit MPC8xx core running at 66 MHz, implementing Power Architecture technology for general embedded processing tasks.
• Communications Processor (CPM) Integrated CPM and communications co‑processor functionality to support protocol and I/O offload for networking applications.
• Memory Support On‑chip DRAM controller for flexible memory interfacing and system memory management.
• Ethernet Interfaces Supports 10 Mbps Ethernet (four interfaces indicated) to enable multi‑port connectivity in networking designs.
• Peripheral Interfaces I2C channel and PCMCIA socket controller support (series documentation) for peripheral expansion and system interfaces.
• Power & I/O 3.3 V I/O voltage for common embedded system compatibility.
• Package & Mounting 357‑pin PBGA (25 × 25 mm) surface‑mount package for compact board integration (supplier device package: 357‑PBGA).
• Operating Range & Qualification Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking Equipment Multi‑port 10 Mbps Ethernet and the CPM make the device suitable for routers, switches and other network controllers in consumer systems.
• Embedded Controller Platforms Single‑chip integration of CPU, DRAM controller and peripheral interfaces fits compact embedded control designs.
