Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm current availability status as this component may be subject to lifecycle changes or end-of-life notices. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding power sequencing and voltage requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring high integration of networking and storage interfaces. Consider the optional security engine if cryptographic offloading is required. Evaluate the available memory controller support for DDR1 or DDR2 SDRAM. Assess the need for PCI Express versus legacy PCI interfaces based on system architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Freescale/NXP PowerQUICC II Pro family, designed for cost-effective, low-power embedded solutions. It extends previous generations by adding faster interfaces like PCI Express and SATA while maintaining software compatibility. The series targets SMB and consumer markets with high integration levels.

Replacement Considerations

Official replacement families include Power Architecture T1013 and Arm Architecture LS1012/LS1023 models. Verify functional equivalence and pin compatibility when migrating from this discontinued product to newer architectures.
