MPC8315EVRADDA

Overview

The MPC8315EVRADDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System on Chip (SoC) based on the PowerPC e300c3 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 266 MHz with a 32-bit data bus width. The device integrates DDR and DDR2 memory controllers, dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers (eTSEC), two SATA interfaces, USB 2.0 with PHY, PCI/PCIe, I2C, SPI, TDM, and DUART. It utilizes a 620-ball TEPBGAII package with dimensions of 29x29 mm. Operating voltage includes 1V for core logic and 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V for I/O. The component supports floating-point operations and functions within a temperature range of 0°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance PowerPC e300c3 processor core with dedicated security engine capabilities

• Supports flexible memory configurations via integrated DDR and DDR2 controllers
• Includes comprehensive peripheral buses including I2C, SPI, TDM, and DUART for system integration

Applications

• Network interface cards for telecommunications infrastructure
• Wireless LAN access points and base stations
• Industrial control systems requiring robust communication protocols
• Printers and imaging devices needing high-speed data processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision level required for your design, as hardware specifications may vary between revisions. Confirm that the 620-ball BGA package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure compatibility with the required I/O voltage levels (1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V) for your system peripherals. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices from NXP Semiconductors prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a highly integrated communications processor is needed for networking or industrial applications. It is suitable for designs requiring multiple high-speed serial interfaces like SATA and PCIe alongside standard parallel buses. Consider the thermal dissipation requirements associated with the 266 MHz operation in an enclosed environment. Evaluate the need for the integrated security engine if cryptographic functions are required without external components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Freescale (now NXP) MPC8315E PowerQUICC II Pro family. It is designed for cost-effective, low-power embedded applications. The series extends previous PowerQUICC generations by adding higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. It targets markets such as printing, consumer electronics, and industrial controllers where reliability and integration density are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official MPC8315E datasheet for fully addressed part numbers. Substitutes must match the e300c3 core architecture and 620-ball BGA package. Verify electrical compatibility for DDR/DDR2 memory interfaces and I/O voltage levels before replacement.
