MPC8323CVRAFDCA

Overview

The MPC8323CVRAFDCA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor featuring an e300c2 core operating at 333 MHz. It includes a QUICC Engine with five Unified Communication Controllers (UCCs), a Security Engine (SEC 2.2), and a DDR1/DDR2 memory controller supporting up to 266 MHz. The device integrates a 32-bit PCI controller, USB 2.0, Ethernet, TDM, and UTOPIA interfaces within a PBGA-516 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single e300c2 core with dual integer units and on-chip MMUs for high-performance data-plane processing.
• Features a QUICC Engine block with five Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs) supporting diverse protocols including ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and UART.
• Includes a dedicated Security Engine (SEC 2.2) providing hardware acceleration for DES, 3DES, AES, SHA-1, and MD-5 algorithms.
• Supports flexible memory configurations via a 32-bit DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM controller and a 32-bit PCI interface.

Applications

• ADSL SOHO and residential gateways
• Modem/routers
• Industrial control systems
• Test and measurement applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' in MPC8323ECVRAFDCA against official NXP documentation to confirm voltage or feature variations. Confirm End-of-Life status and availability of replacement components from authorized distributors before finalizing design-in decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring converged IP and ATM packet processing. Ensure system design accommodates the required power sequencing between core and I/O voltages. Verify software compatibility with existing PowerQUICC designs if migrating legacy codebases.

Part Context

Part of the MPC8323E PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed as a cost-effective solution for networking applications. It extends previous generations by offering higher CPU performance and faster interfaces while maintaining backward compatibility with established software ecosystems.

Replacement Considerations

Officially documented substitutes include MPC8323EVRAFDCA and MPC8323EVRADDCA. Verify pinout and feature parity with these variants during migration planning.
