MPC8536BVJAULA

Overview

The MPC8536BVJAULA is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit e500 core with a maximum clock frequency of 1.333 GHz. It utilizes a 783-pin FC-PBGA package measuring 29 mm × 29 mm. The device includes 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches, alongside a 512-Kbyte L2 cache. It supports DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM memory controllers with full ECC, three USB dual-role controllers compliant with USB 2.0, two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), and multiple high-speed interfaces including PCI Express and SATA.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine optimized for IPsec, SSL/TLS, and RAID parity checking
• Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting IEEE 1588 and wake-up events
• Multiplexed high-speed serial interfaces supporting PCI Express and Serial ATA
• Enhanced local bus controller with boot capability from eSPI and eSDHC

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring secure packet processing
• Storage systems utilizing RAID configurations and SATA connectivity
• Industrial control applications demanding extended temperature operation ranges
• Communication gateways integrating multiple Ethernet and USB peripherals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BV' against official NXP documentation to confirm the exact operating temperature range and voltage specifications, as these parameters vary across the MPC8536 family. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors, as this component may be subject to end-of-life restrictions or limited production runs. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 783-pin FC-PBGA footprint and power sequencing requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when a single-core Power Architecture solution with integrated security and high-speed I/O is required. Consider the 1.333 GHz performance ceiling and 512-Kbyte L2 cache capacity for application workload analysis. Evaluate the need for specific interface combinations such as SATA and PCIe, which are multiplexed on this device. Verify that the thermal design accommodates the power dissipation characteristics of the e500 core within the target enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8536E series of PowerQUICC III processors designed by NXP Semiconductors. The series targets embedded communication and storage markets, offering a balance of processing power and peripheral integration. The MPC8536BVJAULA variant specifically denotes a particular speed grade and environmental qualification within this broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the MPC85xx family. Direct replacements must match the 783-pin FC-PBGA package and pinout configuration. Verify functional equivalence regarding cache sizes, interface availability, and electrical specifications before implementation.
