MPC8536CVJAULA

Overview

The MPC8536CVJAULA is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit e500 core with a maximum clock frequency of 800 MHz. It utilizes a 783-pin FC-PBGA package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. 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, two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), three USB dual-role controllers, and multiple high-speed interfaces including PCI Express, SATA, and PCIe.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine optimized for IPsec, SSL/TLS, and RAID parity checking algorithms
• Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting IEEE 1588 and TCP/IP acceleration
• High-performance 32-bit e500 core implementing Power Architecture technology with double-precision floating point

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring high-speed serial interfaces
• Industrial control systems operating in extended temperature environments
• Storage area network (SAN) devices utilizing SATA and RAID capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C) against official NXP documentation. Confirm the 'VJ' package designation matches the required 783-pin FC-PBGA footprint. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding power sequencing and voltage levels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an embedded floating-point unit and robust security engine are required for communication applications. Consider the 800 MHz performance limit and the specific interface mix of PCIe, SATA, and Ethernet. Evaluate the 783-pin BGA package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management requirements during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8536E PowerQUICC III family, designed for communications processing. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MPC8536AVJAULA but differs in clock speed and operating temperature specifications. The series targets high-performance networking and storage solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the MPC8536E family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before considering alternatives.
