MPC860TCVR50D4

The MPC860TCVR50D4 is a single‑core 32‑bit microprocessor in the MPC860 family, implementing Power Architecture™ technology and designed for embedded controller and communications applications. It combines a 50 MHz MPC8xx core with an integrated communications processor module (CPM), memory controller support, and multiple Ethernet interfaces to address networking and industrial embedded use cases.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  32‑bit MPC8xx core at 50 MHz using Power Architecture™ technology with MMU and instruction/data cache capability as described for the MPC860 family.
• Communications Processor (CPM)  Integrated CPM providing enhanced communications functions and additional channels such as I2C as documented for the MPC860 family.
• Memory Support  On‑chip memory controller supporting DRAM types and system memory interfaces; includes PCMCIA socket controller capability noted in the family documentation.
• Ethernet Connectivity  Multiple Ethernet interfaces: four 10 Mbps ports and one 10/100 Mbps port, enabling multi‑port networking topologies.
• Peripheral Interfaces  HDLC/SDLC support for serial link framing and communications protocol handling.
• Power and I/O  3.3 V I/O supply level for system compatibility with common embedded I/O domains.
• Package and Mounting  357‑ball PBGA package (25 × 25 mm), surface‑mount, suitable for compact system designs.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature  Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 95 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking Equipment  Multi‑port Ethernet and CPM integration make this device suitable for routers, switches, and protocol converters.
• Industrial Control Systems  Industrial temperature rating and DRAM memory controller support suit embedded controllers and automation modules.
• Embedded Networking Appliances  Compact PBGA footprint and integrated communications peripherals enable space‑constrained networked appliances.
• Real‑Time Systems  On‑chip real‑time clock and CPM features support real‑time control and timed communications tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem: Built‑in CPM and HDLC/SDLC support reduce external controller requirements for communication tasks.
• Multi‑Port Ethernet: Four 10 Mbps ports plus one 10/100 Mbps port enable flexible network topologies without additional PHY count.
• Industrial‑Grade Operation: −40 °C to 95 °C operating range and industrial qualification support deployment in harsh environments.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package: 357‑PBGA (25 × 25 mm) package balances high integration with a compact board footprint.
• System‑Level Integration: On‑chip memory controller, PCMCIA socket controller capability, and real‑time clock reduce BOM and simplify system design.
• Standard 3.3 V I/O: 3.3 V IO simplifies interfacing with common peripheral components and memory devices.
