PCX8240VTPU200EZD3

The PCX8240VTPU200EZD3 is a PowerPC 603e-based integrated microprocessor delivering a 32-bit superscalar core at 200 MHz in a 352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package. Designed for embedded and industrial applications, it combines a high-performance processor core with integrated peripheral logic and memory support to simplify system design.

Key value propositions include integrated system-level interfaces (including PCI and memory controller), support for common DRAM types, 3.3 V I/O operation, and an industrial temperature range for robust operation in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Core — PowerPC 603e Superscalar 32-bit processor core clocked at 200 MHz, with integer and optional floating-point units and standard system register and branch units.
• Memory and Cache Integrated high-bandwidth memory controller with support for DRAM and SDRAM; on-chip 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data L1 caches (lockable on a per-way basis as specified in the family datasheet).
• Peripheral Integration Integrated peripheral logic includes a PCI bridge and additional controllers (DMA, interrupt controller, two-wire interface) to reduce external components and simplify board design.
• PCI Support 32-bit PCI interface with operation up to 66 MHz and PCI 2.1-compatible signaling as described for the PC8240 family.
• I/O and Interfaces 3.3 V I/O voltage and additional interfaces including I2C (two‑wire interface) for peripheral connectivity.
• Power and Management Dynamic power management features referenced in the PC8240 family for balancing performance and power consumption.
• Package and Mounting 352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package suitable for high-density embedded PCB designs.
• Industrial Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40 °C to 110 °C for industrial applications.
• RoHS Compliant Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems Use as a central processor for embedded designs that benefit from integrated peripheral logic and memory support.
• Industrial Control Suitable for control platforms requiring operation across an extended temperature range and reliable 3.3 V I/O interfacing.
• PCI-Based Systems Acts as a PCI host or agent controller where on-chip PCI bridging and 32-bit PCI operation simplify system integration.
• Memory-Intensive Applications Platforms that require direct DRAM/SDRAM support and high-bandwidth memory access can leverage the integrated memory controller.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Processor Combines a PowerPC 603e core with peripheral logic and memory controller to reduce BOM and board complexity.
