MPC8360ECVVAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360ECVVAJDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 core. It features dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers, a QUICC Engine with eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), and an integrated security engine. The device supports protocols including Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, POS, HDLC, and PPP. It includes a PCI interface, local bus controller, USB, and TDM interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Dual RISC cores for control and data plane processing
• Integrated security engine supporting IPSec and SSL/TLS
• Flexible QUICC Engine for protocol interworking
• Dual DDR memory controllers for efficient data partitioning

Applications

• Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs)
• Network Interface Cards for 3G Base Stations
• Routers and Media Gateways
• High-End Integrated Access Devices (IADs)

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP channels. Confirm revision level matches design requirements. Check for lead-free status and RoHS compliance documentation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to BGA package sensitivity.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for high-performance networking applications requiring protocol conversion between ATM and IP. Consider the dual DDR controllers for separating control and data traffic. Evaluate thermal management needs given the power dissipation characteristics at maximum frequencies.

Part Context

Part of the MPC8360E PowerQUICC II Pro family. Designed as a cost-effective solution for telecommunications markets. Extends previous generations with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. Compatible with existing Power Architecture software ecosystems.

Replacement Considerations

MPC8358EMPC8358E is pin-compatible in TBGA packages but has single DDR controller and fewer UCCs.
