Procurement Notes

Verify silicon revision compatibility before procurement. This document covers revision 1.1 silicon and earlier. Parts ending in A or B require the MPC8347EA specifications for revision 3.0 silicon. Confirm package type and voltage requirements match the design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high integration of networking and security functions. Ensure the system design supports the required power sequencing and clock input timing. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the specific package dimensions and thermal dissipation needs for the target operating frequency.

Part Context

The MPC8347E series belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed for embedded networking and communications. It serves as a successor to the PowerQUICC II series, offering enhanced performance through the e300 core and increased peripheral integration for modern network infrastructure applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the MPC8347EA datasheet for parts with suffixes A or B due to silicon revision differences. Review the MPC8349E reference manual for functional comparisons within the same processor family.
