MPC8323EVRAFDCA

Overview

The MPC8323EVRAFDCA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System-on-Chip microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors, designed for cost-effective networking and industrial applications. It integrates an e300c2 core operating at 266 MHz with a 16 kB instruction cache and 16 kB data cache. The device features a QUICC Engine with five Unified Communication Controllers (UCCs) supporting Ethernet, TDM, and USB 2.0 protocols. Integrated peripherals include a PCI controller, DDR/DDR2 memory interface, and SEC2.2 hardware security engine. It operates within a -40°C to +105°C temperature range using a PBGA-516 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance e300c2 processor core with dual integer units for efficient parallel execution.
• Includes a dedicated QUICC Engine with multiple communication controllers supporting diverse network protocols.
• Provides hardware-accelerated security processing via the integrated SEC2.2 engine for encryption standards.
• Supports flexible memory configurations through DDR1 and DDR2 SDRAM controllers.

Applications

• ADSL SOHO and residential gateways
• Modem and router implementations
• Industrial control systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as End of Life before design finalization. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and soldering thermal profile requirements during assembly planning. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH directives by reviewing the material declaration certificate. Validate that the BGA516 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of CPU performance and integrated communication interfaces is required for embedded networking tasks. Consider the specific clock frequency and I/O voltage levels against system power constraints. Evaluate the availability of the QUICC Engine protocol support against application requirements. Assess the need for hardware security acceleration if cryptographic operations are frequent.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Low-Power PowerQUICC II Pro family, which extends previous generations with enhanced CPU performance and faster interfaces. The series targets small office/home office and industrial markets, offering reduced board space and power consumption compared to earlier models. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8323E and MPC8321 variants.

Replacement Considerations

Public documentation lists the MPC8323ECVRAFDCA and MPC8323ECVRADDCA as related variants within the same family. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before substitution. Note that all listed parts in this series are marked as End of Life.
