MPC880VR66

The MPC880VR66 is a single‑core 32‑bit microprocessor in the MPC8xx/PowerQUICC family from NXP Semiconductors, running at 66 MHz. It combines a MPC8xx core with integrated system peripherals and a communications processor module (CPM), targeting embedded controller, communications and networking applications.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture  MPC8xx single‑issue 32‑bit core at 66 MHz with the Power Architecture™ design principles as specified for the MPC885/MPC880 family.
• Memory and MMU  Integrated memory management units (MMUs) with instruction and data caches to support efficient code and data handling; family datasheet references 8 KB instruction and 8 KB data caches.
• Communications Processor (CPM)  On‑chip CPM and communications co‑processor resources for HDLC/SDLC and other serial protocols, enabling offload of packet and link layer tasks.
• Ethernet and USB  Multiport Ethernet capability (two 10 Mbps ports and two 10/100 Mbps ports) plus one USB 2.0 interface for a variety of wired network and peripheral connectivity options.
• DRAM Controller  Integrated DRAM controller simplifies external memory interfacing for system designs requiring external working memory.
• I/O Voltage  3.3 V I/O support for compatibility with common embedded logic levels.
• Package and Mounting  357‑ball PBGA (25 × 25 mm) surface‑mount package for compact board footprint and high pin density.
• Operating Range and Compliance  Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Networking Devices  Multiport Ethernet and USB interfaces make the MPC880VR66 suitable for routers, switches, and appliance gateways where integrated communications are required.
• Communications Controllers  CPM and HDLC/SDLC support enable protocol offload and line‑level processing for telecom and data link controller designs.
• Industrial Embedded Controllers  Integrated DRAM controller and robust operating temperature range support control systems and industrial interfaces.
• Consumer Networking Equipment  The combination of Ethernet, USB 2.0, and a compact PBGA package fits consumer router, modem, and home network appliance designs.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated Communications Subsystem  On‑chip CPM plus multiple Ethernet ports and USB reduce external components and simplify board design for networked systems.
• Single‑Chip Solution  Core, MMU, caches, DRAM controller and peripheral interfaces on one device lower BOM count and streamline integration.
• Industry‑Proven Family  As part of the MPC885/MPC880 PowerQUICC family, design teams can rely on consistent architectural features across family variants.
• Compact High‑Density Package  357‑ball PBGA (25×25) enables a space‑efficient implementation on surface‑mount PCBs.
• Standard 3.3 V I/O and RoHS Compliance  Simplifies interfacing with common logic levels and meets environmental compliance expectations.
• Wide Consumer Temperature Range  Rated 0 °C to 95 °C to support a broad set of commercial and industrial indoor deployments.
