MPC8272VRTIEA

Overview

The MPC8272VRTIEA is a PowerQUICC II integrated communications processor featuring a 32-bit G2_LE core operating at frequencies up to 400 MHz. It includes an embedded Communications Processor Module (CPM) and an integrated Security Engine (SEC). The device supports USB 2.0, dual Fast Ethernet MACs, PCI bus interfaces, and UTOPIA ports within a 516-pin lead-free PBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated hardware security engine supporting DES, 3DES, MD-5, SHA-1, AES, PKEU, RNG, and RC-4 algorithms
• Dual-issue integer core with separate instruction and data caches for optimized processing
• Communications Processor Module offloads peripheral tasks via RISC architecture
• Supports USB 2.0 full/low rate host and slave modes

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part is discontinued. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure supply chain documentation matches the specific VR package variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-level on-chip integration of networking and security functions. Consider the dual-core architecture for balanced processing loads between the Power Architecture core and the CPM. Evaluate thermal management needs based on estimated power dissipation profiles.

Part Context

This microprocessor belongs to the MPC8272 family, which also includes the MPC8248, MPC8271, and MPC8247 models. These devices share common architectural features but differ in specific interface availability and security engine inclusion. The MPC8272 specifically combines the full feature set including the SEC.
