MPC8358VRAGDDA

Overview

The MPC8358VRAGDDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro processor featuring an e300 core operating at 400 MHz. It integrates a QUICC Engine, DDR/DDR2 controller, PCI interface, and security engine. The device utilizes a PBGA-740 package with a 1.2 V core supply and supports I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an e300 PowerPC core with 32-Kbyte instruction and data caches.
• Includes a QUICC Engine supporting Ethernet, ATM, HDLC, and POS protocols.
• Features a dedicated security engine for IPSec, SSL/TLS, and encryption algorithms.
• Provides a programmable DDR SDRAM memory controller with ECC support.

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 VRAGDDA against official documentation to confirm pinout and voltage compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices from NXP Semiconductors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-performance protocol interworking between ATM and IP networks. Ensure the design accommodates the required 1.2 V core voltage and appropriate I/O levels for the target interfaces.

Part Context
