MPC8270VVQLDA

Overview

The MPC8270VVQLDA is a 32-bit RISC processor belonging to the PowerQUICC II family, manufactured by NXP. It operates at a core frequency of up to 300 MHz and utilizes a 0.13-micron HiPerMOS7 process technology. The device integrates an embedded 603e core and a Communications Processor Module (CPM) for offloading peripheral tasks. It features a 480-pin LBGA package with dimensions of 37.5 x 37.5 mm and a 1.27 mm pitch. Key specifications include a 32-bit address bus, 64-bit external data bus, floating-point format support, and integrated cache.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance embedded 603e core built on Power Architecture technology
• Includes a powerful RISC-based Communications Processor Module (CPM) to offload peripheral tasks
• Supports multiple communications protocols including Ethernet, ATM, and HDLC channels
• Utilizes 0.13-micron process technology for enhanced performance and lower power requirements

Applications

• High-end routers and switching equipment
• DSLAMs and remote access concentrators
• Telecom switching equipment
• Cellular base stations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VVQLDA' against official NXP documentation to confirm exact speed grade, temperature range, and package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and voltage levels. Confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance through current datasheets. Cross-reference ordering information to avoid confusion with similar MPC8270 variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring integrated control and forwarding plane processing in communications infrastructure. Consider the balance between the 300 MHz core speed and the CPM's capability to handle layer 2 functionality. Evaluate power consumption constraints relative to the 0.13-micron process benefits. Ensure software compatibility with the established PowerQUICC II architecture is maintained for migration or new design purposes.

Part Context

The MPC8270 is part of the PowerQUICC II family, which also includes the MPC8275 and MPC8280. These processors share a common hardware specification document and architectural foundation. They are designed to provide system designers with a high degree of integrated features for wired and wireless infrastructure communications processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for direct substitutes within the PowerQUICC II family, such as the MPC8275 or MPC8280, depending on required feature sets and performance levels. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software compatibility before substitution.
