MPC8315CVRAGDA

Overview

The MPC8315CVRAGDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System-on-Chip featuring an e300c3 core operating at 400 MHz. It integrates dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers, dual SATA interfaces, and dual single-lane PCI Express links. The device includes a security engine for cryptographic acceleration, DDR1/DDR2 memory support, USB 2.0, and TDM capabilities. Operating voltage is 1 V with I/O levels of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V. It utilizes a TEPBGAII-620 package and supports temperatures from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Security Engine (SEC 3.3) for hardware-accelerated IPSec, 802.11i, and iSCSI protocols
• Dual Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet Controllers (eTSECs) supporting SGMII and RGMII interfaces
• Dual Serial ATA (SATA) controllers compliant with Rev 2.5 specification
• Dual single-lane PCI Express interfaces compatible with 1.0a standard

Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS)
• Voice over IP (VoIP) router/gateway
• Industrial controllers
• Wireless access points

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level against the datasheet Rev. 2 documentation. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding power sequencing requirements for switchable and continuous supplies. Check for end-of-life status as indicated by distributor listings.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high integration of communication and storage interfaces is required within a Power Architecture ecosystem. Consider the integrated security engine for applications needing offloaded cryptographic processing. Evaluate the dual SATA and PCIe options against external bridge controller alternatives to reduce bill of materials complexity.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the Freescale/NXP PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed for cost-effective, low-power embedded systems. It extends previous generations by adding higher CPU performance and faster interfaces like SATA and PCI Express while maintaining backward software compatibility with earlier PowerQUICC designs.
