MPC8241LVR166D

Overview

The MPC8241LVR166D is an integrated processor from the NXP MPC82xx family, featuring a PowerPC 603e core operating at 166 MHz. It integrates a 32-bit PCI interface supporting up to 66 MHz and a memory controller for SDRAM up to 2 GB. The device utilizes a 357-pin plastic ball grid array (PBGA) package with dimensions of 25 x 25 mm. Key electrical parameters include a 1.8 V core supply and 3.3 V I/O supply.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance superscalar PowerPC 603e processor core with floating-point support and lockable L1 caches.
• Includes a 32-bit PCI bridge compatible with PCI 2.2 standards, supporting both host and agent modes.
• Features a high-bandwidth memory controller supporting SDRAM with ECC or parity options.
• Provides dual-channel DMA controllers, a message unit with I2O support, and a programmable interrupt controller.

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment such as routers and switches
• Telecommunications systems including multi-channel modems
• Network storage applications and RAID disk controllers
• Image display systems and embedded computing devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LVR166D' against official NXP documentation to confirm the 166 MHz frequency rating and PBGA-357 package type. Ensure compatibility with existing system clock configurations and voltage requirements before integration. Check for any available errata sheets relevant to this revision.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a balance of processing power and peripheral integration within space-constrained environments. Consider the thermal characteristics of the PBGA package and ensure adequate board layout for signal integrity on the 64-bit data bus and PCI interface.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC82xx series of integrated processors designed by NXP (formerly Freescale). These processors are based on the Power Architecture technology and are optimized for embedded applications requiring robust connectivity and processing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for direct pin-to-pin replacements or functional equivalents within the MPC82xx family. Verify that any substitute part maintains compatibility with the required 166 MHz core speed and 357-pin PBGA footprint.

FAQ
