MPC8247VRTIEA

Overview

The MPC8247VRTIEA is a 32-bit PowerQUICC II communications processor featuring a G2_LE core operating at frequencies up to 400 MHz. It integrates a modified Communications Processor Module (CPM), dual Fast Ethernet MACs, USB 2.0 support, and a PCI bridge. The device utilizes a 516-pin lead-free PBGA package and operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core architecture combining a PowerPC G2_LE core with a RISC-based Communications Processor Module for efficient task distribution.
• Integrated hardware security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, PKEU, RNG, and RC-4 algorithms.
• Comprehensive peripheral interface set including dual Ethernet controllers, USB 2.0, PCI bus, and multiple serial communication controllers.

Applications

• Small and medium enterprise routers
• Virtual private network (VPN) and firewall routers
• Wireless access points
• Residential gateways and xDSL equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'VR' confirms the lead-free 516-pin PBGA package configuration. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards for your assembly process. Ensure that the ambient operating temperature rating aligns with your system's thermal design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when high integration of networking protocols and hardware encryption is required. The separate power supplies for logic and I/O allow for optimized power consumption. Consider the CPM offloading capabilities if significant peripheral management tasks are present in the application design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8272 family of integrated communications processors manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8272, MPC8248, and MPC8271, differing primarily in the inclusion or exclusion of the Security Engine and specific interface configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MPC8247ZQTIEA, which features lead spheres instead of lead-free pins. Other compatible devices within the same family include the MPC8248VRTIEA and MPC8271VRTIEA, though feature sets vary regarding the security engine.

FAQ

Does the MPC8247VRTIEA include the integrated security engine?

No, the MPC8247 does not include the integrated security engine; this feature is available only on the MPC8272 and MPC8248 models within the family.

What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the G2_LE core?

The G2_LE core supports frequencies ranging from 266 MHz up to a maximum of 400 MHz.
