MPC8377ECVRAGDA

Overview

The MPC8377ECVRAGDA is a PowerQUICC II Pro System-on-Chip processor based on the e300c4s core. It integrates dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSEC), a PCI controller, two PCI Express links, and two Serial ATA controllers. The device supports DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM via a 32- or 64-bit interface and includes a USB 2.0 dual-role controller. An optional security engine accelerates cryptographic algorithms such as AES, DES, and SHA-1.

Feature Summary

• Integrated dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting RGMII/MII/RMII/RTBI interfaces
• Dual PCI Express links providing high-speed I/O connectivity
• Optional security engine for hardware acceleration of encryption protocols
• Support for both DDR1 and DDR2 SDRAM memory standards

Applications

• Printing systems and multifunctional printers
• Networking switches and line cards
• Wireless LANs (WLANs)
• VPN routers and network access servers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official NXP documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and security engine inclusion. Confirm current manufacturing status as this component may be subject to product longevity programs or end-of-life notices.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring high integration of networking and storage interfaces within a single chip. Ensure design compatibility with the e300 core architecture and verify support for required peripheral interfaces such as SATA and PCI Express.

Part Context

This component belongs to the PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed for cost-effective, low-power host processing in printing, consumer, and industrial sectors. It extends previous generations by adding faster interfaces and higher CPU performance while maintaining backward software compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

NXP recommends using replacement families such as Power Architecture T1013 or Arm Architecture LS1012/LS1023 for new designs.
