MPC8315ECVRAGDA

Overview

The MPC8315ECVRAGDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System-on-Chip featuring an e300c3 core operating at 400 MHz. It integrates dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), dual SATA 3 Gbps interfaces, dual single-lane PCI Express interfaces, and a security engine (SEC 3.3). The device includes a 32-bit DDR1/DDR2 memory controller, USB 2.0 host/device controller, and a 32-bit PCI interface supporting up to 66 MHz. It utilizes a TEPBGAII-620 package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated Security Engine for hardware-accelerated cryptographic operations including RSA, AES, and DES.
• Dual high-speed Serial ATA controllers supporting hot-plug and native command queuing.
• Dual Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet Controllers with SGMII support for network traffic processing.
• Flexible I/O voltage options supporting 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V standards.

Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS)
• Voice over IP (VoIP) router/gateway
• Industrial controllers
• Intelligent wireless LAN (WLAN)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GDA' against official NXP documentation to confirm exact package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the component is no longer in active production as indicated by end-of-life status. Ensure compatibility with existing board power sequencing requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when high integration of storage and networking interfaces is required within a Power Architecture ecosystem. The inclusion of the security engine distinguishes it from non-E variants. Evaluate the 400 MHz clock speed against application latency requirements and ensure the system design supports the necessary DDR and PCIe signal integrity.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8315E PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed as a cost-effective, low-power host processor. 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.
