MPC8360CVVAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360CVVAJDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 core. It features a 533 MHz CPU and QUICC Engine operating at 400 MHz, with dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers supporting ECC. The device includes a security engine for IPSec and SSL/TLS processing, eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), and interfaces including PCI, Local Bus, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet.

Feature Summary

• Integrated QUICC Engine module providing protocol termination and interworking for ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and POS.
• Dedicated security engine handling public key, symmetric encryption, and message digest algorithms.
• Dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers allowing partitioning of control and data plane processing.
• Eight Universal Communication Controllers supporting multiple high-speed network protocols.

Applications

• DSL Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs)
• Network Interface Cards for 3G Base Stations
• Routers and Media Gateways

Procurement Notes

Verify silicon revision compatibility, as operational limits vary between versions. Confirm specific frequency labels match system requirements. Check RoHS status and lead-free packaging details against current manufacturing standards. Ensure power sequencing adheres to datasheet specifications to prevent excessive current draw during startup.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust hardware-based protocol interworking and secure data processing. The dual memory controllers are suitable for systems needing separation of control and data planes. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements carefully due to significant power consumption at maximum frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro family, which extends the previous PowerQUICC II line. It utilizes the e300 system-on-chip platform, offering enhanced cache sizes and floating-point capabilities compared to the legacy 603e core. The device is designed for wired and wireless access equipment markets.

Replacement Considerations

MPC8358E is pin-compatible but features a single DDR controller and lower clock speeds. Verify functional equivalence regarding memory architecture and interface availability before substitution.
