MPC8377VRAGDA

Overview

The MPC8377VRAGDA is a microprocessor from the NXP PowerQUICC II Pro family, built on the PowerPC e300c4s core. It features a single 32-bit processor core operating at a maximum clock frequency of 400 MHz. The device utilizes a 689-TEPBGA II package with dimensions of 31x31 mm. It includes 32 kB instruction and 32 kB data L1 cache. The core voltage is 1 V, while I/O voltages support 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers for high-speed network connectivity.
• Includes integrated x2 Serial ATA controllers to reduce board space and component count.
• Features an integrated security engine supporting encryption algorithms such as AES and DES/3DES.

Applications

• Multifunctional printers
• IP-PBX systems
• Network attached storage

Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this component may be obsolete or not recommended for new designs. Confirm exact revision levels and datasheet errata before integration. Ensure compatibility with existing system power rails and interface requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity handling procedures during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of processing performance and integrated peripheral connectivity in a compact form factor. Consider the specific pinout and thermal characteristics of the TEPBGA package. Evaluate the need for the integrated security engine versus external solutions. Compare against newer families if long-term supply assurance is critical.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC837xE series within the PowerQUICC II Pro portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with variants like the MPC8377EVRANG but differs in clock speed and specific feature sets. The series targets embedded applications requiring robust networking and storage interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

NXP recommends using Power Architecture (T1013) or Arm Architecture (LS1012, LS1023) families for new designs. Verify functional equivalence and pin compatibility if substituting with other MPC83xx variants.
