MPC880VR80

The MPC880VR80 is a single-chip, embedded microprocessor based on the MPC8xx core architecture. It integrates a 32-bit MPC8xx core operating at 80 MHz with system integration and communications peripherals to target embedded controller and communications designs.

Designed for applications requiring on-chip connectivity and peripheral integration, the device offers Ethernet, USB and DRAM controller support along with an on-chip Communications Processor Module (CPM) to consolidate processor and communications functions.

Key Features

• Core  32-bit MPC8xx core, single core operating at 80 MHz. The series CPU is built on Power Architecture technology and incorporates MMUs and instruction/data caches as documented for the MPC885/MPC880 family.
• Communications Processor Module (CPM)  Includes CPM for communications and protocol offload tasks; supports communications-focused co-processor functions.
• Ethernet  Multiple on-chip Ethernet controllers: two 10 Mbps ports and two 10/100 Mbps ports, enabling flexible wired networking connectivity.
• USB  Integrated USB 2.0 controller (1 port) for host/device connectivity in embedded designs.
• Memory and DRAM Support  On-chip DRAM controller(s) for external memory interfacing and system memory management.
• Peripheral Interfaces  Additional serial protocol support including HDLC/SDLC for synchronous link-layer communications.
• Power and IO  3.3 V I/O voltage level for standard embedded system interfacing.
• Package and Mounting  357-PBGA (25 × 25 mm) supplier device package, 357-BBGA case; surface-mount package optimized for compact board layouts.
• Operating Range & Environmental  Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 95 °C and RoHS compliant status.
• Graphics  No dedicated graphics acceleration—focus is on processor and communications integration.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Use the onboard CPM, multiple Ethernet ports and HDLC/SDLC support for protocol handling and networked device control.
• Networking Appliances  Leverage integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and USB 2.0 connectivity for compact routers, gateways or edge devices.
• Embedded Controllers  Suitable for embedded controller applications that require a 32-bit core with MMU and cache support plus on-chip peripheral integration.
• USB-Enabled Devices  Integrate USB 2.0 connectivity with on-chip processing for devices that require host or device USB support.

Unique Advantages

• Single-chip integration: Combines MPC8xx core, system integration unit and CPM in one device, consolidating processor and communications peripherals on a single package.
• Rich wired connectivity: Multiple Ethernet controllers (two 10 Mbps and two 10/100 Mbps) plus USB 2.0 simplify system-level networking and peripheral interfacing.
• Memory interface support: On-chip DRAM controller capability facilitates external memory integration for performance and capacity scaling.
• Industry-documented architecture: Part of the MPC885/MPC880 PowerQUICC family with published hardware specifications and architecture details for design reference.
• Board-level compatibility: 357-PBGA surface-mount package (25 × 25 mm) supports compact PCB designs while maintaining signal and power routing consistency.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliant construction aligns with common environmental requirements for consumer electronics.
