MPC8536CVTANGA

Overview

The MPC8536CVTANGA is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit e500 core operating up to 1.333 GHz. It includes 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches, plus a 512-Kbyte L2 cache. The device supports DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM with full ECC and integrates two enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers (eTSECs) with SGMII support. Additional interfaces include three PCI Express ports, two SATA controllers, three USB dual-role controllers, an enhanced local bus controller, and an enhanced secure digital host controller.

Feature Summary

• Integrated security engine optimized for IPsec, SSL/TLS, and RAID parity checking
• Dual enhanced three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting IEEE 1588 and TCP/IP acceleration
• High-speed multiplexed interfaces including PCI Express, SATA, and USB
• Support for low-power management modes including Doze, Nap, and Deep Sleep

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Storage area networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates extended temperature range operation (-40°C to +105°C) against official NXP documentation. Confirm package details match the 783-pin FC-PBGA specification. Ensure compatibility with required voltage rails and clocking configurations before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-performance networking and storage connectivity are required within a single chip solution. The integrated security engine reduces external cryptographic hardware needs. Verify that the 783-pin BGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MPC8536E PowerQUICC III family of communications processors. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MPC8535E but offers higher clock speeds and specific interface configurations tailored for demanding embedded network applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MPC8536AVTANGA or MPC8536ECVTAQGA as potential alternatives depending on encryption requirements and temperature ratings.
