MPC8315ECVRADDA

Overview

The MPC8315ECVRADDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro processor featuring an e300c3 core operating at up to 400 MHz. It integrates dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), dual SATA 3 Gbps interfaces, and dual single-lane PCI Express interfaces. The SoC includes a security engine for cryptographic acceleration, a DDR1/DDR2 memory controller, USB 2.0, and various serial interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine accelerates control and data plane security protocols including IPSec and iSCSI.
• Dual high-speed Serial ATA controllers support hot plug and native command queuing.
• Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers provide SGMII and RGMII interface options.
• Dual single-lane PCI Express interfaces offer selectable root complex or endpoint operation.

Applications

• Network attached storage (NAS)
• Voice over IP (VoIP) router/gateway
• Industrial controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ADDA' against official NXP documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm that this part number represents the non-encrypted variant as specified in the datasheet overview. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding power sequencing and voltage levels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high integration of network and storage interfaces is required alongside hardware security acceleration. The e300c3 core provides software compatibility with previous PowerQUICC generations. Evaluate the need for dual SATA and PCIe lanes versus alternative models like the MPC8315 which lacks the security engine.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, extending previous generations with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. It addresses requirements for time-to-market and power consumption in consumer and industrial applications. The device is designed as a cost-effective, low-power host processor.
