MPC8306CVMACDCA

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.

Feature Summary

• Integrates five Unified Communication Controllers (UCCs) for flexible protocol support including Ethernet, HDLC, and TDM.
• Features an enhanced local bus controller (eLBC) supporting boot from parallel NOR/NAND Flash.
• Includes a dedicated QUICC Engine block with internal RAM for efficient peripheral management.
• Supports high-speed USB 2.0 operation with host, device, and OTG capabilities.

Applications

• Residential gateways

• Test and measurement applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CVMACDCA' against official NXP documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with required power sequencing (VDD before GVDD/OVDD) and clock input specifications during hardware design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for networking applications requiring multiple serial communication protocols within a single chip. Consider the integration of QUICC Engine peripherals and DDR2 memory controller to reduce external component count. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements based on operating frequency and load conditions.
