MPC8248CZQMIBA-NXP

Overview

The MPC8248CZQMIBA is a PowerQUICC II embedded processor manufactured by NXP. It integrates an embedded Power Architecture core and a RISC-based Communications Processor Module (CPM) on a single chip. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 66.7 MHz with a 32-bit architecture. It features a 64-bit external data bus width and utilizes a 516-pin BGA package measuring 26x26 mm. The component supports DMA channels and includes a security engine for encryption algorithms.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core architecture combining a Power Architecture core with a Communications Processor Module to balance high-level processing and peripheral communication tasks.
• Integrated hardware security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, and ARC-4 encryption algorithms.
• High level of on-chip integration within a small-footprint 516-pin PBGA package to reduce board space requirements.

Applications

• Small and medium enterprise routers
• Virtual private network equipment
• Wireless access points

Procurement Notes
