MPC8358ZQAGDDA

Overview

The MPC8358ZQAGDDA is a microprocessor from the PowerQUICC II Pro series, manufactured by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale Semiconductor). It features a single-core e300 processor with a 32-bit data bus width and a maximum clock frequency of 400 MHz. The device utilizes a PBGA-740 package and operates within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +105°C. It supports DDR1 and DDR2 SDRAM memory types and includes interfaces such as Ethernet, GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, and USB.

Feature Summary

• Integrates the e300 core for enhanced performance over previous generations while maintaining software compatibility.
• Includes a dedicated security engine supporting various encryption algorithms and random number generation.
• Provides multiple high-speed communication interfaces including Gigabit Ethernet and PCI.

Applications

• Next generation DSLAMs
• Network interface cards for 3G base stations
• Routers and media gateways

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm that the specific revision matches design requirements, as older components may have limited supply chains. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the target assembly process. Check for moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust integrated security features alongside standard networking protocols. Consider the PBGA-740 package size and thermal characteristics for PCB layout. Evaluate the 400 MHz processing speed against system latency requirements. Verify peripheral compatibility with existing DDR memory controllers and interface standards before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8358E family, which extends the PowerQUICC II Pro offerings. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8360E but offers a cost-effective solution for specific bandwidth needs. The e300 core provides improved cache performance compared to the legacy 603e core.

Replacement Considerations

The MPC8358EZUADDE serves as a pin-compatible alternative in TBGA packaging. Designers should verify electrical specifications and package dimensions when substituting between PBGA and TBGA variants.
