MPC860TVR66D4

The MPC860TVR66D4 is a single-core, 32-bit microprocessor from the MPC860 family designed for embedded controller and communications applications. Built on the MPC8xx core and PowerQUICC family hardware specifications, it integrates communications-focused peripherals to support networking and control tasks.

Key value comes from integrated communications functionality and memory interfacing, combined with a compact 357-PBGA package and consumer-grade qualification for applications operating across a 0 °C to 95 °C range.

Key Features

• Core – MPC8xx 32-bit single core running at 66 MHz with processor features described in the MPC860 family hardware specification, including MMUs and instruction/data caches.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM) – Integrated CPM optimized for communications tasks; datasheet references CPM electrical characteristics and communications enhancements.
• Ethernet Connectivity – Multiple onboard Ethernet interfaces: four 10 Mbps ports and one 10/100 Mbps port, enabling mixed-speed networking configurations.
• Memory & DRAM Controller – Built-in DRAM controller supports external memory configurations as described for the MPC860 family.
• Peripheral Interfaces – Additional interfaces include HDLC/SDLC for serial link support and integrated PCMCIA socket controller capability referenced in the family documentation.
• Power & I/O – 3.3 V I/O voltage specified for system-level integration.
• Package & Mounting – 357-PBGA (25 × 25 mm) package, surface-mount for compact system designs.
• Operating Range & Qualification – Consumer qualification with operating temperature from 0 °C to 95 °C.
• Compliance – RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications – Platform for embedded devices that require integrated communications processing and serial protocol handling.
• Network Controllers – Suitable for small-scale networking equipment where mixed 10/100 Mbps and multiple 10 Mbps ports are required.
• Industrial and System Controllers – Use in controller applications that benefit from an integrated DRAM controller and communications peripherals within a compact PBGA package.
• Legacy Serial Protocol Systems – Systems that require HDLC/SDLC support for serial link management.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications capability: The included Communications Processor Module and referenced CPM characteristics reduce external component needs for networking tasks.
• Multiple Ethernet ports on-chip: Four 10 Mbps ports plus one 10/100 Mbps port enable flexible network topologies without additional PHY routing for those speeds.
• Memory interface flexibility: On-chip DRAM controller supports a range of external memory types as outlined in MPC860 family specifications.
• Compact, surface-mount PBGA package: 357-PBGA (25 × 25 mm) simplifies PCB integration for space-constrained designs.
• Documented hardware specification: The MPC860 family hardware specification and user documentation provide detailed power, thermal and electrical characteristics for design planning.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for regulatory compliance in applicable markets.
