MPC8377EVRAGD

Overview

The MPC8377EVRAGD 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 (SATA) controllers. The device supports DDR1/DDR2 SDRAM memory interfaces and includes a USB 2.0 dual-role controller. An optional security engine provides hardware acceleration for cryptographic algorithms.

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 offloading cryptographic operations such as AES and DES
• Support for both DDR1 and DDR2 SDRAM memory technologies

Applications

• Printing systems main CPUs and I/O processors
• Networking switches and line cards
• Wireless LANs (WLANs)
• VPN routers and network access servers
• Industrial controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 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. 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 within a single chip. Consider the optional security engine if hardware acceleration for encryption protocols is required. Evaluate the e300 core performance against application processing demands and verify support for necessary 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, and highly integrated host processing. It extends the PowerQUICC lineage by adding faster interfaces and higher CPU performance while maintaining backward software compatibility with previous-generation designs.

Replacement Considerations

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