MPC8306CVMACDCA

Microprocessors Overview

The MPC8306CVMACDCA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor featuring an e300c3 core with 16-KB instruction and data caches. It includes five Unified Communication Controllers (UCCs) supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet via MII/RMII, IEEE 1588, HDLC, and TDM. The device integrates a 16-bit DDR2 controller, Enhanced Local Bus Controller (eLBC), USB 2.0 dual-role controller, FlexCAN, eSDHC, and two I2C interfaces. Operating at frequencies up to 333 MHz, it utilizes a 1.0 V core supply and 3.3 V I/O voltage.
