MPC8241LVR166D

Overview

The MPC8241LVR166D is a 32-bit RISC microprocessor based on the PowerPC 603e core, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 166 MHz. It utilizes a PBGA-357 package with dimensions of 25 x 25 mm and a height of 1.27 mm. The device features an integrated host processor architecture with a 32-bit PCI interface running up to 66 MHz. It supports external data bus widths of 32 or 64 bits and includes integrated L1 instruction and data caches. The component is lead-free and compliant with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance PowerPC 603e RISC processor core with floating-point capabilities
• Provides a 32-bit PCI interface supporting up to 66 MHz operation for system connectivity
• Features a memory controller capable of supporting SDRAM and DRAM configurations
• Includes dual-channel DMA controllers and a message unit with I2O support

Applications

• Network infrastructure control processing
• Telecommunications embedded systems
• Router and switch management
• Network storage application control
• Image display system control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '166' confirms the 166 MHz speed grade against the datasheet. Confirm the 'V' indicates the lead-free plastic BGA package variant. Ensure the manufacturer source is recognized as NXP Semiconductors following the acquisition of Freescale. Check for any available errata sheets relevant to this specific silicon revision before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, highly integrated host processor is required for PCI-based embedded systems. It is suitable for applications where reducing component count from five discrete chips to one is critical. Consider the 166 MHz performance tier if higher speeds like 266 MHz are not necessary for the target workload.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8241 series of integrated host processors designed by Freescale (now NXP). These processors are optimized for network infrastructure and telecommunications markets. The series combines a RISC processor core with essential peripherals to simplify board design and reduce power consumption compared to multi-chip solutions.

Replacement Considerations

The MPC8241LVR266D serves as a higher-speed alternative within the same package and pinout configuration. Verify software compatibility and thermal requirements when substituting between different speed grades in the MPC8241 family.
