MPC862PZQ100B

The MPC862PZQ100B is a single-core, 32-bit microprocessor IC based on the MPC8xx PowerPC architecture, rated at 100 MHz and designed for embedded controller and communications applications. It integrates a PowerQUICC-class core with on-chip communications processing and DRAM controller capabilities to address networking and controller system requirements.

With multiple Ethernet interfaces, a communications processor module (CPM), 3.3 V I/O and a compact 357‑PBGA (25×25) surface-mount package, the device delivers a balanced combination of integration and system-level connectivity for consumer and communications designs.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture Embedded single-issue, 32-bit MPC8xx PowerPC core with 32 general-purpose registers and branch prediction with conditional prefetch.
• On-chip Caches & MMU MPC862P variant cache configuration includes a 16 KB four-way set-associative instruction cache and an 8 KB two-way set-associative data cache; MMUs provide 32-entry fully associative instruction and data TLBs and support multiple page sizes.
• Communications Processor (CPM) Integrated communications co-processor functionality for protocol handling and serial interfaces, including HDLC/SDLC support.
• Ethernet Connectivity Multiple MAC ports with four 10 Mbps Ethernet interfaces and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface for flexible network topologies.
• Memory Interface On-chip DRAM controller support suitable for system memory interfacing.
• Power & I/O 3.3 V I/O voltage for compatibility with common embedded system logic levels.
• Package & Mounting 357‑PBGA (25×25) surface-mount package (357‑BBGA case) for compact board-level integration.
• Operating Range & Compliance Specified operating temperature range of 0 °C to 105 °C and RoHS-compliant material status.

Typical Applications

• Communications & Networking Equipment Use in routers, gateways and access devices where multiple Ethernet interfaces and a CPM accelerate protocol processing.
• Embedded Controller Systems Suitable for controller applications that require a PowerPC-class core with integrated DRAM controller and peripheral support.
• ATM-Enabled Systems Applicable to ATM-capable designs seeking enhanced ATM functionality provided by the MPC862 family.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Processing: On-chip CPM and HDLC/SDLC support offload serial and protocol tasks from the main CPU, simplifying system design.
