MPC8536CVTAKG

Overview

The MPC8536CVTAKG is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit e500 core operating up to 1.5 GHz with 36-bit physical addressing and double-precision floating-point support. It includes 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches, plus a 512-Kbyte L2 cache. The device integrates a DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller with full ECC supporting up to 16 Gbytes of main memory. Connectivity features two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs), three PCI Express interfaces, two SATA controllers, and three USB dual-role controllers compliant with USB 2.0.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine optimized for IPsec, IKE, SSL/TLS, iSCSI, SRTP, IEEE Std 802.16e, and 3GPP algorithms.
• Enhanced local bus controller with memory management and four-channel DMA controller.
• Supports boot capability from eSPI and enhanced secured digital host controller (eSDHC).
• Includes programmable interrupt controller and multiple low-power modes including Doze, Nap, Sleep, Jog, and Deep Sleep.

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring high-performance packet processing.
• Storage systems utilizing RAID parity checking via the integrated XOR engine.
• Industrial control applications needing robust real-time processing capabilities.
• Telecommunications gateways supporting IEEE 1588 precision time protocol.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Confirm lot codes and date codes against current manufacturing records. Ensure proper ESD handling protocols are followed during inspection due to the sensitivity of the FC-PBGA package. Request detailed test reports if the component is intended for safety-critical implementations.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when a single-core solution with extensive peripheral integration is required. Consider the specific voltage requirements for VDD_CORE and VDD_PLAT during power supply design. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the 783-pin package density. Verify that the target application can utilize the available PCIe lanes and Ethernet MACs efficiently.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC8536E series within the PowerQUICC III family. It is designed for embedded networking and storage applications. The part utilizes the e500 core architecture which provides a balance of performance and power efficiency. It supports both little-endian and big-endian modes for flexible software development environments.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official NXP documentation for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the MPC8536E series. Verify compatibility of firmware and hardware designs before substituting with variants having different clock speeds or temperature ranges.
