MPC8360EZUAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360EZUAJDGA 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 memory controllers, a 32-bit PCI interface, and a security engine. It supports ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and POS protocols via eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs). The processor includes a floating-point unit, 32-Kbyte instruction and data caches, and a dedicated DMA controller.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an e300 RISC core with dynamic power management and floating-point processing capabilities.
• Features a QUICC Engine module for protocol termination and interworking between Ethernet, ATM, and HDLC.
• Includes a hardware security engine supporting IPSec, SSL/TLS, and various encryption algorithms.
• Provides dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers for efficient partitioning 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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency label AJ corresponds to the required 533 MHz core speed during procurement. Confirm that the TBGA-740 package dimensions match the target PCB layout. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the exact silicon revision and I/O voltage requirements specified in the datasheet tables.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-performance protocol interworking and robust security are required. The dual DDR controllers allow separation of system functions. Compare against the MPC8358E if only a single memory controller is sufficient for the application design constraints.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family built on the e300 SoC platform. It extends previous generations by adding faster interfaces and enhanced QUICC Engine functionality. The device is designed for telecommunications markets requiring cost-effective, highly integrated solutions for wired and wireless access equipment.

Replacement Considerations

The MPC8358E is a pin-compatible member of the same family but features a single DDR controller and lower maximum frequencies. Verify functional requirements before substituting, as the memory architecture differs significantly.
