MPC8271CVRTIEA

Overview

The MPC8271CVRTIEA is a 32-bit microprocessor from the PowerQUICC II family, utilizing a single PowerPC 603e core with a maximum clock frequency of 400 MHz. It features a PBGA-516 package and operates within a voltage range of 1.425 V to 2.25 V for core power and 3.135 V to 3.465 V for I/O. The device includes 16 kB instruction and data L1 caches, supports floating-point operations, and integrates interfaces such as Ethernet, PCI, USB, and I2C. It functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a modified Communications Processor Module (CPM) for high-speed protocol processing.
• Includes an integrated security engine (SEC) for hardware-based encryption capabilities.
• Supports external memory types including DRAM, SRAM, and SDRAM via dedicated controllers.

Applications

• High-performance communications infrastructure equipment
• Network routing and switching systems
• Industrial control applications requiring robust interface support

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation matches specific manufacturing lot requirements. Ensure handling procedures account for moisture sensitivity level specifications during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 MHz PowerPC core with integrated CPM and SEC is required. Consider the PBGA-516 package constraints and thermal dissipation needs for industrial temperature ranges. Evaluate compatibility with existing system memory architectures supporting DRAM and SDRAM standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8272 PowerQUICC II family, which also includes the MPC8272, MPC8248, and MPC8247. These devices share common architectural foundations but differ in specific feature sets like the presence of the security engine. The MPC8271 variant specifically targets communications processing without the enhanced security features found in other family members.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this discontinued component. Designers should evaluate newer generations within the PowerQUICC or QorIQ families for functional equivalence, noting significant architectural differences.
