MPC880CVR133

The MPC880CVR133 is a single‑core, 32‑bit microprocessor built on the MPC8xx core architecture and manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. Operating at 133 MHz, this device integrates a system integration unit (SIU), a communications processor module (CPM), and on‑chip MMUs and caches to serve embedded controller and communications/networking applications.

With integrated Ethernet controllers, USB 2.0 support, DRAM controller interfaces, and industrial temperature qualification, the MPC880CVR133 targets embedded communications systems and industrial controllers that require a compact, surface‑mount single‑chip solution in a 357‑PBGA (25×25) package.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture  Single‑issue MPC8xx 32‑bit core with memory management units (MMUs) and instruction/data caches for deterministic embedded operation.
• Performance  133 MHz core frequency with external bus maximum frequency of 80 MHz (core 133 MHz supports 2:1 mode as documented in the family hardware specification).
• Caches  On‑chip instruction and data caches (8 KB each as described in the MPC885/MPC880 documentation) to improve code and data throughput.
• Communications & Interfaces  Multiple Ethernet controllers (10 Mbps and 10/100 Mbps ports as specified), one USB 2.0 interface, and HDLC/SDLC support for serial link and legacy protocol handling.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  Integrated CPM and communications co‑processor functionality for offloading protocol handling and accelerating communications tasks.
• Memory & Bus  DRAM controller support and a 32‑bit internal bus to connect the core, SIU and CPM for system integration.
• Power & I/O  3.3 V I/O voltage for common embedded system compatibility.
• Package & Mounting  357‑ball PBGA (25×25) surface‑mount package for compact board integration.
• Operating Range & Qualification  Industrial‑grade qualification with operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Communications Equipment  Device integrates multiple Ethernet controllers and a CPM, making it suitable for routers, gateways, and protocol converters where on‑chip communications processing reduces system complexity.
• Industrial Control Systems  Industrial temperature qualification and robust I/O voltage make the MPC880CVR133 appropriate for embedded controllers in factory automation and process control.
• Networked Appliances  Integrated USB 2.0 and DRAM controller support enable networked appliances and small servers that require local peripheral connectivity and shared memory.
• Legacy Protocol Interfaces  Built‑in HDLC/SDLC and CPM support help integrate existing serial and link‑level protocols into modern embedded designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated communications peripherals: Built‑in Ethernet ports, USB 2.0, and CPM reduce external component count and simplify board design for networked products.
• Single‑chip system integration: SIU, CPM, and MPC8xx core on one device consolidate functionality that would otherwise require multiple ICs, lowering BOM and board area.
• Industrial temperature capability: Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C to support deployment in harsh and temperature‑variable environments.
• Compact PBGA packaging: 357‑PBGA (25×25) offers a small form factor for space‑constrained embedded systems while enabling surface‑mount assembly.
• Vendor documentation and hardware specification: Supported by the MPC885/MPC880 PowerQUICC hardware specification, which provides detailed electrical, thermal and layout guidance for system designers.
