MPC8360CZUAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360CZUAJDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 PowerPC core. It features a 533 MHz CPU and QUICC Engine operating at 400 MHz, with 32 KB instruction and data caches. The device includes dual DDR SDRAM controllers supporting up to 333 MHz, a 32-bit PCI interface, and an integrated security engine for IPSec and SSL/TLS processing. It supports protocols including Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, and POS within a 740-pin TBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Dual RISC cores enable separation of control plane and data plane processing
• Integrated security engine handles cryptographic algorithms and key exchange
• QUICC Engine provides hardware offloading for network protocol interworking
• Dual memory controllers allow flexible partitioning of system resources

Applications

• DSLAMs and broadband access nodes
• Network interface cards for wireless base stations
• Routers and media gateways
• High-end Integrated Access Devices (IADs)

Procurement Notes

Verify silicon revision compatibility when integrating into existing designs. Confirm power sequencing requirements during board layout to prevent excessive current draw. Ensure thermal management solutions account for maximum power dissipation at peak frequencies. Validate voltage levels against absolute maximum ratings.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-throughput protocol conversion between ATM and IP networks. Consider the dual DDR controller architecture if independent memory buses are required for performance optimization. Evaluate the integrated security engine capabilities against specific encryption standards needed for the deployment environment.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, extending previous generations with enhanced cache and faster interfaces. It utilizes the e300 system-on-chip platform, allowing modular integration of functional blocks. The device targets telecommunications infrastructure markets, offering a balance of processing power and protocol support.

Replacement Considerations

MPC8358E is pin-compatible but features a single DDR controller and lower clock speeds.
