• Includes system logic designed specifically for networking, storage, and general-purpose embedded applications.
• Supports low-power modes to optimize energy consumption during idle or reduced-load operations.

Applications

• Integrated host processors for networking equipment
• Storage controller systems
• General-purpose embedded control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision against the datasheet documentation, as errata may apply to certain versions. Confirm that the lead time aligns with project schedules, as availability for this component type can vary significantly. Ensure compatibility with the required 1.2V power supply design and verify the 620-pin BGA footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 400 MHz processing speed within the PowerQUICC II Pro family is required. It is suitable for designs needing integrated DDR memory controllers and networking-specific hardware logic. Consider the 620-pin package size and 1.2V voltage requirements during the initial schematic capture phase to ensure proper power delivery and physical space allocation on the motherboard.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8347E PowerQUICC II Pro Integrated Host Processor family. These processors are designed to combine a PowerPC core with dedicated system logic for networking and storage. The MPC8347 series represents a next-generation solution for embedded hosts requiring robust performance and peripheral integration in a compact form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP/Freescale substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic cross-references should be avoided due to potential differences in pinouts, voltage levels, or silicon revisions. Verify functional compatibility with existing software drivers if replacing an older revision of the MPC8347 series.
