MPC8315CVRAFDA

Overview

The MPC8315CVRAFDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro microprocessor featuring an e300c3 core operating at 333 MHz. It integrates dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers, dual SATA interfaces, and dual PCI Express x1 links. The SoC includes a DDR1/DDR2 memory controller, USB 2.0 host/device controller, and a security engine for cryptographic acceleration. It utilizes a TEPBGAII-620 package with I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine accelerates control and data plane security protocols including IPSec and iSCSI.
• Dual high-speed serial interfaces support configurable SGMII or PCI Express x1 link widths.
• Dual SATA controllers provide storage connectivity with native command queuing and hot plug support.
• Enhanced local bus interface allows connections with external DSPs and ASICs.

Applications

• Network attached storage (NAS)
• Voice over IP router/gateway
• Intelligent wireless LAN access points
• Industrial controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FDA' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the component is available as it may be subject to end-of-life status. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the TEPBGAII-620 footprint and power sequencing requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring integrated networking and storage capabilities on a single chip. Consider the e300c3 core performance and the presence of the security engine for encrypted traffic processing. Evaluate the need for dual PCIe lanes versus SGMII configurations based on peripheral connectivity requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8315E PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed for cost-effective, low-power communication applications. It extends previous generations by adding higher CPU performance and faster interfaces while maintaining software compatibility with earlier PowerQUICC designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the NXP product transition notices for officially confirmed substitute part numbers. Verify functional equivalence regarding pinout and register compatibility before replacing.
