MPC8360ZUAJDGA

Overview

The MPC8360ZUAJDGA is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor based on the e300 core. It features an operating frequency of up to 533 MHz and includes dual DDR SDRAM memory controllers, a QUICC Engine module with eight Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), and a dedicated security engine. The device supports protocols including ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, and POS, alongside PCI and local bus interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an e300 RISC core with floating-point capabilities and dynamic power management
• Includes a QUICC Engine for protocol interworking and switching between ATM, Ethernet, and HDLC
• Features a dedicated security engine supporting IPSec, SSL/TLS, and RAID parity generation
• Provides dual DDR SDRAM controllers for partitioned 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 silicon revision and ordering suffix against official NXP documentation to ensure compatibility with required clock frequencies and I/O voltage levels. Confirm that the package type matches the target board design constraints. Check for any errata related to the specific manufacturing lot or revision before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high integration of communication protocols and hardware security acceleration. Ensure the system design accommodates the dual DDR controller architecture if utilizing the full bandwidth capabilities. Verify thermal requirements as power dissipation varies significantly with clock frequency and load conditions.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, which extends the PowerQUICC line using Power Architecture technology. It is designed for networking and telecommunications markets, offering enhanced CPU performance and faster interfaces compared to previous generations while maintaining software compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

The MPC8358E is a pin-compatible member of the same family but features a single DDR controller and lower maximum clock speeds. For newer designs, consider families such as T1013 or LS1012/LS1023 as recommended replacements.
