MPC8247ZQMIBA

Overview

The MPC8247ZQMIBA is a PowerQUICC II integrated communications processor featuring a G2_LE core and Communications Processor Module. It operates at 266 MHz with a 516-pin PBGA lead sphere package. The device includes dual Fast Ethernet MACs, USB 2.0, PCI bridge, and four Serial Communications Controllers. It utilizes separate 1.5 V logic and 3.3 V I/O supplies.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core architecture combining a Power Architecture core with a RISC-based Communications Processor Module for balanced processing tasks.
• Integrated hardware security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, and ARC-4 encryption algorithms.
• Comprehensive peripheral interface set including dual Fast Ethernet, USB 2.0, PCI, and multiple serial 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 ZQMIBA to confirm the lead sphere package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 516-pin PBGA footprint and thermal requirements. Confirm that the component meets all necessary regulatory standards for the intended deployment environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a high level of on-chip integration is required to reduce system component costs and board space. It is suitable for applications needing low power consumption combined with robust networking capabilities. Consider the dual-core design if offloading low-level peripheral communications from the main processor is beneficial.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8272 PowerQUICC II family, which also includes the MPC8272, MPC8248, and MPC8271 processors. These devices share a common scalable platform but differ in feature sets such as the presence of a security engine or ATM support. The MPC8247 specifically lacks the integrated security engine found in higher-tier models.
