MPC7410THX500LE

Overview

The MPC7410THX500LE is a PowerPC G4 RISC microprocessor operating at a maximum core frequency of 500 MHz. It features a 32-bit architecture with AltiVec technology, 32 KB instruction and data L1 caches, and an external L2 cache interface supporting up to 2 MB. The device operates on a 1.8 V core supply and supports selectable I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. It utilizes a 60x processor bus interface with a 64-bit data bus and is housed in a surface-mount CBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Implements the full PowerPC 32-bit architecture with AltiVec vector processing capabilities.
• Features a high-performance out-of-order execution pipeline with hardware multiprocessing support.
• Includes configurable direct-mapped SRAM capability within the L2 cache interface.
• Supports multiple static power-saving modes including doze, nap, and sleep.

Applications

• High-performance computing systems
• Embedded network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control applications requiring extended temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific THX suffix corresponds to the required industrial temperature range specifications. Confirm that the system design accommodates the selectable I/O voltage thresholds via BVSEL and L2VSEL configuration pins. Ensure compliance with the absolute maximum ratings for supply voltages during power-on reset sequences to prevent device damage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-frequency PowerPC G4 implementation with AltiVec support is required. Consider the available L2 cache interface options and the specific I/O voltage requirements of the target system. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the calculated power consumption at the 500 MHz operating frequency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC7410 series, which represents the second implementation of Freescale's fourth-generation (G4) microprocessors. It builds upon the MPC750 by adding AltiVec technology and improving memory subsystem bandwidth. The THX designation indicates a variant optimized for specific industrial environmental conditions compared to standard commercial offerings.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Verify compatibility regarding pinout, voltage levels, and thermal characteristics before substitution.
