Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Confirm the specific suffix 'VRANG' matches the required temperature range and package variant. Request original manufacturer documentation to validate revision history and ensure compliance with RoHS standards before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring high integration of networking and storage interfaces on a single chip. Consider the optional security engine if hardware acceleration for encryption protocols is necessary. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the specified thermal characteristics and verify compatibility with existing DDR memory architectures during system design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Freescale/NXP MPC837xE family of PowerQUICC II Pro processors. It shares architectural similarities with the MPC8378E and MPC8379E but offers a distinct configuration of high-speed serial interfaces. The device represents a cost-effective solution for embedded communication and control applications within the Power Architecture ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

NXP recommends using Power Architecture T1013 or Arm Architecture LS1012/LS1023 families for new designs as this product is not recommended for new designs.
