M53017MOD

Overview

The M53017MOD is a production-ready digital voice module based on the NXP (formerly Freescale) MCF5301x family of 32-bit microprocessors. It integrates a V3 ColdFire core with 16 KB cache and 128 KB SRAM, featuring an audio subsystem with a speech CODEC and amplifiers. The module includes dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, two USB controllers, three UARTs, SDIO, SPI, I2C, SSI, and smart card interfaces. It supports optional VoIP software and comes with pre-programmed memory for direct deployment in industrial control and communication applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated V3 ColdFire CPU with 16 KB cache and 128 KB SRAM
• Audio subsystem including speech CODEC, microphone, headset, and loudspeaker amplifiers
• Dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs supporting network switching or ring/daisy chain topologies
• Comprehensive connectivity: Dual USB, three UARTs, SDIO host, SPI, I2C, SSI, and dual smart card interfaces

Applications

• Building automation systems
• Home automation and intercom systems
• Public address and broadcast systems
• Factory automation and access control
• Medical monitoring equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit corresponds to the M53017MOD variant which includes integrated crypto and VoIP software capabilities. Confirm the presence of the bundled system-level solution and open source µClinux distribution support required for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a production-ready hardware platform with pre-integrated digital voice functionality is required. It is suitable for small to medium volume applications where reducing development time through bundled software and off-the-shelf availability is prioritized over custom silicon design.

Part Context

The M53017MOD is part of the MCF5301x family, which combines low power consumption with high integration. This family targets general industrial control applications, specifically leveraging the audio sub-system for digital voice functionality in environments such as intercoms and public address systems.

Replacement Considerations

Other variants within the MCF5301x family include MCF53014, MCF53015, and MCF53016. These share similar core architectures but differ in the inclusion of Crypto engines, VoIP software support, and package types compared to the fully featured M53017MOD.
