MPC8358VVAGDGA

Overview

The NXP MPC8358VVAGDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor based on the e300 core. It operates at 400 MHz with a single DDR SDRAM controller supporting up to 266 MHz data rates. The device integrates a QUICC Engine module for protocol interworking, a dedicated security engine, and a PCI interface. It features six Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs) supporting Ethernet, ATM, HDLC, and other protocols. Packaged in a 740-TBGA (37.5x37.5 mm) format, it supports I/O voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an e300 PowerPC processor core with 32-Kbyte instruction and data caches.
• Includes a QUICC Engine module providing termination and switching between protocols such as ATM, Ethernet, and HDLC.
• Features a dedicated security engine optimized for IPSec, SSL/TLS, and encryption algorithms.
• Supports dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers with ECC capabilities.

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 frequency label suffixes (e.g., AG for 400 MHz CPU) against the datasheet Table 80 to ensure correct performance tier. Confirm the revision level matches design requirements, as silicon revisions may have associated errata. Check RoHS compliance status and environmental classifications prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust protocol interworking and high integration. The MPC8358E variant offers a single DDR controller compared to the dual controller in the MPC8360E. Ensure thermal solutions account for maximum power dissipation at 400 MHz operation. Verify compatibility with required memory types (DDR1 or DDR2) and I/O voltage levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC83xx series of PowerQUICC II Pro processors. It extends previous offerings by adding higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. The series targets networking and telecommunications markets, balancing processor performance with I/O system throughput using scalable SoC platforms.
