MPC8360ECVVAJDG

Overview

The MPC8360ECVVAJDG is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 core. It features an operating frequency of up to 533 MHz, 32 KB instruction cache, and 32 KB data cache. The device includes dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers supporting ECC, a QUICC Engine with eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), and a dedicated security engine. Interfaces include PCI, Local Bus, USB, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet via MII/GMII/RGMII.

Feature Summary

• Integrated QUICC Engine for protocol interworking and switching
• Dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers with ECC support
• Dedicated hardware security engine for encryption algorithms
• High-performance e300 RISC core with floating-point unit

Applications

• DSL Access Multiplexers (DSLAM)
• Network Interface Cards for 3G Base Stations
• Routers and Media Gateways
• High-End Integrated Access Devices (IAD)

Procurement Notes

Verify silicon revision compatibility, as operational limits vary between rev 1.0 and 2.0. Confirm specific frequency labels match system requirements. Check for end-of-life status as this component may be discontinued. Ensure thermal design accounts for maximum power dissipation at target frequencies.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring robust protocol handling and high integration. Compare against MPC8358E if single DDR controller suffices. Consider pin compatibility with other MPC83xx family members for platform scalability. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions.

Part Context

Part of the MPC8360E/58E PowerQUICC II Pro family built on the e300 SoC platform. Designed to extend previous PowerQUICC II offerings with enhanced CPU performance and faster interfaces. Targets networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications markets.

Replacement Considerations

MPC8358E is a pin-compatible alternative within the same family, featuring a single DDR controller instead of dual.
