Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CVMAGDCA' against the official NXP ordering guide to confirm temperature range, packaging, and RoHS compliance details. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the MAPBGA-489 footprint and pinout. Confirm that the required DDR2 and PCI interface voltages align with the system power architecture before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a balance of CPU performance and integrated communication peripherals. The e300c3 core offers software compatibility with other Power Architecture families. Consider the QUICC Engine's flexibility for custom protocol implementations. Evaluate the thermal requirements given the junction temperature specifications and typical power dissipation values under load.

Part Context

The MPC8309 belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed as a cost-effective solution for networking applications. It extends previous offerings by adding higher CPU performance and faster interfaces while maintaining low power consumption. This series targets developers needing a highly integrated, fully programmable communications processor for rapid time-to-market solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the NXP product transition notices for officially confirmed substitute part numbers within the MPC83xx family. Verify form, fit, and function compatibility if replacing with variants such as the MPC8308 or MPC8313E. Do not assume interchangeability without checking specific electrical and pinout differences in the respective datasheets.
