MPC8358ECZQAGDGA

Overview

The MPC8358ECZQAGDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro processor featuring an e300 core operating at 400 MHz. It includes a QUICC Engine with six UCCs supporting Ethernet, ATM, and POS protocols. The device integrates a security engine for IPSec and SSL/TLS, a DDR SDRAM controller compatible with DDR1/DDR2, and a PCI interface. It operates within a -40 to 105°C temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Integrates the e300 PowerPC processor core with floating-point capabilities and lockable L1 cache.
• Includes a QUICC Engine module providing protocol termination and interworking for Ethernet, ATM, and PPP.
• Features a dedicated security engine supporting DES, 3DES, AES, RSA, and SHA algorithms.
• Supports flexible memory configurations via a programmable DDR SDRAM controller.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CZQA' against official NXP documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm current lifecycle status as this component may be subject to obsolescence. Ensure design-in compatibility with existing PCB layouts and power sequencing requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring robust protocol interworking between ATM and IP networks. The integrated security engine reduces external component count for encrypted communications. Consider the single-core architecture and DDR controller limitations when evaluating performance requirements for high-throughput data plane tasks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8358E PowerQUICC II Pro series, designed for networking and telecommunications markets. It extends previous offerings with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. The device addresses time-to-market and power requirements for broadband access equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for pin-compatible alternatives within the MPC83xx family. Verify functional equivalence regarding QUICC Engine support and security features when considering substitutes.
