MPC8248CVRTIEA

Overview

The MPC8248CVRTIEA is a PowerQUICC II microprocessor from NXP USA Inc., utilizing the G2_LE core based on the MPC603e architecture. It features a 32-bit data bus and operates at frequencies up to 400 MHz, delivering approximately 760 MIPS performance. The device integrates a Communications Processor Module (CPM) and a Security Engine (SEC). Key interfaces include two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MACs, USB 2.0, PCI, I2C, SPI, UART, USART, SCC, and SMC. It utilizes a 516-pin PBGA package with lead-free solder balls.

Feature Summary

• Integrated hardware security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, and ARC-4 algorithms
• Dual-issue integer core with separate 16 KB instruction and data caches
• Embedded 32-bit RISC communications processor module for flexible peripheral support
• USB 2.0 controller supporting full/low rate host and slave modes

Applications

• Sony XDCAM HD422 series high-definition broadcast video cameras
• Enterprise networking equipment
• Telecom transmission and switching systems
• Storage systems requiring secure data processing

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and temperature specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated in the datasheet. Request original documentation to validate revision history and electrical characteristics prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when hardware-accelerated encryption is required alongside standard communication protocols. The integrated SEC reduces CPU overhead for security tasks. Consider the 516-pin BGA package constraints during PCB layout. Verify that the system design supports the necessary power supply voltages for both the core logic and I/O interfaces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PowerQUICC II family, specifically the MPC82xx series. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8272 but lacks certain ATM capabilities found in higher-end variants. The device represents a generation of processors designed for embedded communications applications requiring high integration and security features.

Replacement Considerations

The KMPC8248CVRTIEA is a confirmed military-grade substitute within the same family. Other MPC82xx series devices may offer functional compatibility but require verification of pinout and feature sets.
