MPC8315VRAFDA

Overview

The MPC8315VRAGDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System-on-Chip microprocessor based on the Freescale e300c3 core. It operates at up to 400 MHz with integrated 16-Kbyte instruction and data caches, floating-point support, and MMUs. The device features dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), dual SATA 3 Gbps controllers, dual single-lane PCI Express interfaces, and a USB 2.0 controller with an on-chip PHY. It includes a security engine for cryptographic acceleration, DDR1/DDR2 memory support, and multiple peripheral interfaces including PCI, I2C, SPI, TDM, and DUART.

Feature Summary

• Integrated e300c3 processor core with floating-point unit and hardware performance monitors
• Dedicated security engine supporting RSA, AES, DES, SHA, and random number generation
• Dual high-speed serial interfaces configurable as SATA or PCI Express x1 links
• Dual Ethernet controllers supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds with SGMII/RGMII connectivity

Applications

• Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems
• Voice over IP (VoIP) routers and gateways
• Intelligent Wireless LAN (WLAN) access points
• Set-top boxes and consumer electronics
• Industrial controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm datasheet revision MPC8315EEC Rev. 2 matches manufacturing specifications. Ensure ESD precautions are observed during handling due to moisture sensitivity. Validate package integrity for the 620-ball HBGA configuration prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring a highly integrated host processor with dedicated hardware security acceleration. Suitable for designs needing simultaneous SATA and PCI Express connectivity without external bridge controllers. Verify power supply requirements for the 1.0V core and 3.3V I/O domains against system constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8315E PowerQUICC II Pro family, extending previous generations with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. It maintains software compatibility with legacy PowerQUICC designs while adding new functionality for storage and networking applications.
