MPC7410RX500LE

Overview

The MPC7410RX500LE is a PowerPC RISC microprocessor implementing the fourth-generation G4 architecture. It features a 500 MHz core frequency with an optional MPX bus interface and AltiVec technology. The processor includes 32 Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches, supports up to 2 Mbyte external L2 cache, and offers hardware multiprocessing with a five-state cache coherency protocol. It utilizes a 0.18 µm CMOS process in a 360-pin CBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Implements full PowerPC 32-bit architecture with AltiVec SIMD capabilities
• Supports hardware-based multiprocessing with five-state cache coherency
• Features configurable direct-mapped SRAM capability for L2 cache interface
• Includes improved floating-point unit with equal latency for double- and single-precision operations

Applications

• Computing systems applications
• Embedded systems applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level (Rev. 1.4 or later) required for 3.3 V I/O support on the system bus. Confirm that BVSEL and L2VSEL configuration pins are correctly set to match the target supply voltages (1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V). Ensure thermal management solutions meet the junction-to-ambient resistance requirements for the selected airflow conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-performance embedded processing with vector acceleration. Consider the available core frequency options (400 MHz, 450 MHz, 500 MHz) based on performance needs. Evaluate power consumption profiles across different operating modes, including doze, nap, and sleep states, to ensure compliance with system thermal constraints.

Part Context

The MPC7410 represents the second implementation of Freescale's fourth-generation G4 microprocessors. It builds upon the MPC750 by adding AltiVec technology and significant memory subsystem bandwidth improvements. Compared to the MPC7400, it introduces configurable direct-mapped SRAM and 32-bit L2 cache interface support while removing 3.3 V I/O support for the L2 interface in earlier revisions.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers: None.
