MPC8536AVTAUL

Overview

The MPC8536AVTAUL is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit e500 core operating at 1.333 GHz. It implements the Power Architecture technology with double-precision embedded floating point APUs and an MMU. The device includes 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches, plus a 512-Kbyte L2 cache. It supports DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM up to 16 Gbytes with full ECC. Interfaces include two eTSECs (10/100/1000 Mbps), three USB 2.0 controllers, two SATA controllers, PCIe, PCI 2.2, eLBC, eSDHC, eSPI, DUART, I2C, and SPI. It operates from 0°C to 90°C in a 783-pin FC-PBGA package.
