Procurement Notes

Verify silicon revision compatibility before integration; this document covers revision 1.1 silicon and earlier. Orderable part numbers ending in A or B require reference to the MPC8347EA specifications for revision 3.0 silicon details. Confirm voltage requirements match the specific package type, as TBGA supports higher data rates than PBGA variants.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high integration of networking and security functions within a single SoC. The e300 core ensures software compatibility with existing Power Architecture products. Ensure board design accommodates the specific I/O voltage levels required by the DDR and Ethernet interfaces.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, serving as an upgrade to the PowerQUICC II series. It builds upon the e300 SoC platform, offering enhanced L1 cache and performance compared to previous generations. The architecture is designed to meet the demands of emerging network communication and pervasive computing applications.

Replacement Considerations

For new designs, consider replacement families such as Power Architecture T1013 or Arm Architecture LS1012/LS1023.
