25PPC750CX-DP0523T

Overview

The IBM 25PPC750CX-DP0523T is a PowerPC 750CX RISC microprocessor featuring a single 32-bit core operating at 700MHz. It utilizes a 256-pin Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package with dimensions of 27x27 mm. The component supports an external data bus width of 64 bits and includes integrated cache memory. Designed for embedded applications, it offers boundary scan capabilities and low power mode functionality.

Feature Summary

• PowerPC 750CX architecture providing high-performance RISC processing
• Integrated cache memory for improved data access efficiency
• Supports boundary scan testing for manufacturing verification
• Low power mode operation for energy conservation

Applications

• Embedded control systems requiring high-speed processing
• Industrial automation controllers
• Network infrastructure equipment
• Telecommunications hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DP0523T to ensure correct package type and speed grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some variants may not meet current environmental standards. Check for active production status and lead times through authorized distributors. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts due to the 256-PBGA footprint.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 700MHz PowerPC 750CX core is required in a 256-pin PBGA package. Consider the 64-bit external data bus width for system bandwidth requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the ceramic or plastic BGA construction. Compare against other PowerPC 750 variants if different clock speeds or pin counts are acceptable.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the IBM PowerPC 750 family, widely used in embedded and industrial applications during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The 750CX variant offered enhanced performance over earlier models. IBM developed this architecture for use in workstations, servers, and specialized embedded systems before transitioning to newer generations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 25PPC750CX-DP0323T, which shares the same core but operates at a lower frequency. Other compatible parts within the PowerPC 750 series may require pinout and software adaptation. Verify electrical characteristics and package dimensions before replacing.
