MPC8248VRTIEA

Overview

The MPC8248VRTIEA is a PowerQUICC II communications processor featuring a 32-bit G2_LE core operating at frequencies up to 400 MHz. It integrates a Communications Processor Module (CPM), an integrated Security Engine (SEC) for hardware encryption, and a PCI bridge. The device utilizes a 516-pin lead-free PBGA package and supports USB 2.0 full/low rate, Ethernet, and various serial interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, PKEU, RNG, and RC-4 algorithms
• Communications processor module with embedded 32-bit RISC microcontroller and dual-port RAM
• Dual-issue integer core with separate instruction and data caches
• USB 2.0 controller supporting host and slave modes

Applications

• Enterprise networking equipment
• Telecom transmission and switching systems
• Industrial control applications
• High-end imaging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official NXP documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm component availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete inventory. Ensure compatibility with existing system voltage requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring integrated hardware security and high-speed communication processing. Evaluate thermal management needs based on estimated power dissipation at target clock speeds. Verify that the 516-pin PBGA package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8272 family of PowerQUICC II processors. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8272 but lacks certain features like UTOPIA ports found in other family members. The VR suffix indicates a lead-free plastic ball grid array package.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the MPC82xx series.
