MPC8533VJALFA

Overview

The MPC8533VJALFA is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor built on 90 nm SOI technology. It features an e500 core with dual-issue superscalar execution and a 7-stage pipeline, operating at frequencies up to 1.067 GHz. The device includes a 256-Kbyte L2 cache/SRAM, DDR/DDR2 memory controller with ECC support, and an integrated security engine for cryptographic acceleration. Connectivity options comprise two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), three PCI Express interfaces, one PCI interface, and a local bus.

Feature Summary

• High-performance embedded e500 core with double-precision floating-point APU and SPE
• Integrated security engine supporting DES, 3DES, AES, RSA, and SHA algorithms
• Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers with TCP/IP offload capabilities
• Flexible high-speed interconnects including PCI Express and PCI

Applications

• Enterprise networking equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Point of Sale (POS) terminals
• Building energy management controllers
• Automotive electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VJALFA' against official NXP documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 783-pin FC-BGA footprint and required power supply sequencing for VDD, GVDD, and I/O rails.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high integration of processing and connectivity. Consider the 90 nm process node for power efficiency. Evaluate the need for the integrated security engine if encryption tasks are prevalent. Verify that the system design supports the required DDR/DDR2 memory configurations and PCIe link widths.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Freescale/NXP PowerQUICC III family of communication processors. These devices are designed for network infrastructure and industrial applications, offering a balance of processing power and peripheral integration. The MPC8533E variant serves as the base model for this specific ordering code.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MPC8533 variants with different speed grades or package options in the same family. Consult NXP for end-of-life notifications or recommended upgrades within the PowerQUICC III series.
