MPC866PZP100A

The MPC866PZP100A is a single-chip microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors’ MPC866 family, featuring an embedded single-issue, 32-bit PowerPC core. Designed for embedded controller and communications applications, it combines a PowerPC architecture core with integrated communications peripherals to support networking and controller systems.

With a 100 MHz core, integrated communications processing (CPM), multiple Ethernet interfaces and onboard DRAM controller functionality, the device targets consumer-level embedded designs that require a compact, surface-mount PowerPC solution with integrated I/O.

Key Features

• 32-bit PowerPC Core Single-issue, 32-bit PowerPC architecture core delivering 100 MHz operation for control and communications tasks.
• Cache and MMU MPC866P-class cache configuration: 16 KB instruction cache (four-way, set-associative) and 8 KB data cache (two-way, set-associative). Includes MMUs with 32-entry TLB and fully associative instruction and data TLBs.
• Integrated Communications Processing (CPM) On-chip communications co-processor functionality to support protocol and interface handling for networking applications.
• Ethernet Interfaces Multiple Ethernet ports: four 10 Mbps ports and one 10/100 Mbps port, enabling mixed-speed network connectivity.
• Memory and Bus Support On-chip DRAM controller support for external memory interfacing to simplify system design.
• Peripheral Interfaces Additional interfaces include HDLC/SDLC support for serial link framing and protocol handling.
• Power and I/O 3.3 V I/O signaling to match common embedded peripheral voltage domains.
• Package and Mounting 357-PBGA (25×25) supplier device package, surface-mount for compact board-level integration.
• Operating Range and Qualification Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment Use the integrated CPM and multi-port Ethernet capability for protocol handling, routing control and edge networking functions.
• Embedded Controllers Single-core PowerPC performance and on-chip DRAM controller make it suitable for embedded controller tasks in consumer devices.
• Networking Systems Mixed-speed Ethernet interfaces support designs requiring both 10 Mbps and 10/100 Mbps connectivity in compact form factors.
• Protocol Gateways and Serial Links HDLC/SDLC interfaces and communications co-processor support serial framing and link management roles.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated PowerQUICC-Derivative Design: Combines a PowerPC core with communications peripherals and DRAM controller to reduce external component count and simplify system BOM.
• Multiple Ethernet Options: Four 10 Mbps ports plus one 10/100 Mbps port provide flexible network topology options without additional PHYs for basic connectivity needs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount PBGA Package: 357-PBGA (25×25) enables dense board layouts and space-constrained designs.
• Consumer-Grade Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Operates from 0 °C to 95 °C and is RoHS compliant, aligning with consumer product manufacturing requirements.
• Established Family Documentation: Part of the MPC866/PowerQUICC family with published hardware and users manual references to support integration and bring-up.
