MPC8248CZQTIEA

Overview

The MPC8248CZQTIEA is a PowerQUICC II family integrated communications processor featuring a G2_LE core operating at frequencies up to 400 MHz. It integrates a modified Communications Processor Module (CPM), an embedded Security Engine (SEC) supporting hardware encryption algorithms, and a PCI bridge compliant with PCI Specification revision 2.2. The device utilizes a 516-pin PBGA package with lead spheres.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Security Engine for hardware-based encryption
• Modified Communications Processor Module with flexible peripheral support
• PCI Bridge supporting host and agent capabilities

Applications

• Enterprise networking equipment
• Telecom transmission systems
• Storage controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IEA' against official documentation to confirm temperature range and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the 516-pin BGA footprint. Confirm that the lead sphere composition meets current environmental compliance standards for the target deployment region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hardware security acceleration is required alongside high-speed serial communication processing. The integrated SEC reduces reliance on external cryptographic modules. Evaluate power consumption profiles against thermal management capabilities, as the device supports multiple clock configurations for performance optimization.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8272 PowerQUICC II family, which also includes the MPC8272, MPC8271, and MPC8247. These devices share a common architecture based on the 32-bit Power Architecture core but differ in integrated peripherals such as the presence of the Security Engine or UTOPIA ports.
