MPC8358ECVVAGDGA

Overview

The MPC8358ECVVAGDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro processor featuring an e300 core operating at up to 400 MHz and QUICC Engine units running at 400 MHz. It includes a single DDR SDRAM controller supporting 32- or 64-bit interfaces up to 266 MHz, six Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), four TDM ports, one UTOPIA/POS interface, a 32-bit PCI controller, and a dedicated security engine.

Feature Summary

• Integrated QUICC Engine module providing termination, interworking, and switching between protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and POS.
• Single DDR SDRAM memory controller with programmable timing for DDR1 and DDR2, supporting ECC and page mode operations.
• Dedicated security engine optimized for IPSec, SSL/TLS, SRTP, and 802.11i processing with multiple crypto-channels.
• Supports Layer 2 Ethernet switching, ATM-to-Ethernet switching, and PPP interworking via the QUICC Engine.

Applications

• Next generation DSLAMs
• Network interface cards for 3G base stations (Node Bs)
• Routers and media gateways
• High-end Integrated Access Devices (IADs)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VV' against official NXP documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and encryption status. Confirm current lifecycle status as this component family may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compatibility with required DDR2 voltage levels and clock frequencies during design validation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single DDR controller suffices for system memory requirements. The MPC8358E variant provides six UCCs compared to eight in the MPC8360E, which may impact protocol density. Verify that the 400 MHz core frequency meets performance needs for control plane processing tasks.

Part Context

This device belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, extending previous offerings with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. It addresses networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications markets by balancing time-to-market, power consumption, and package size constraints.
