MPC8360ECZUAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360ECZUAJDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 core. It operates at up to 533 MHz with a QUICC Engine running at 400 MHz. The device features dual DDR SDRAM controllers supporting DDR1 and DDR2, a 32-bit PCI interface, and an integrated security engine for encryption protocols. It includes eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs) and one Multichannel Communication Controller (MCC), providing extensive protocol support including ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and POS.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an e300 PowerPC core with enhanced L1 cache and floating-point capabilities
• Features a QUICC Engine module for high-throughput protocol interworking and switching
• Includes a dedicated security engine supporting public key acceleration and symmetric encryption algorithms
• Provides dual DDR memory controllers for efficient separation of control and data plane processing

Applications

• Next generation DSLAMs
• Network interface cards for 3G base stations
• Routers and media gateways
• High-end Integrated Access Devices (IADs)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and frequency label associated with the ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with target operating conditions. Confirm that the required power sequencing adheres to the specifications for core and I/O voltage ramp-up to prevent excessive current draw during initialization.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust protocol interworking between ATM and IP networks. The dual DDR controller architecture allows flexible memory partitioning. Ensure the design supports the necessary thermal dissipation for the specified junction temperature range and power consumption levels under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, extending previous generations with higher CPU performance and faster interfaces. It is designed to address networking, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications markets by reducing investment costs during the transition from ATM to IP-based systems.

Replacement Considerations

The MPC8358E is a pin-compatible member of the same family, offering a single DDR controller and lower performance suitable for cost-effective broadband access applications.
