Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official NXP documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm component availability status as this model may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and power requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring integrated communications processing and hardware security. Consider the separate power supply requirements for internal logic and I/O. Evaluate thermal management needs based on estimated power dissipation values provided in the datasheet for the target operating frequency.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8272 family of PowerQUICC II processors. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8272, MPC8248, and MPC8271 but lacks the integrated security engine found in higher-end variants. The device is manufactured using .13µm technology.
