MPC8540VT833LC

Overview

The MPC8540VT833LC is a PowerQUICC III integrated processor featuring a single 32-bit PowerPC e500 core operating at 833 MHz. It utilizes a 783-FCPBGA package with dimensions of 29x29 mm and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 105°C (TA). The device integrates two three-speed Ethernet controllers supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps, one 10/100 Mbps controller, PCI/PCI-X, RapidIO, and DDR SDRAM memory controllers.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance 32-bit Book E-enhanced core with 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches.
• Includes a configurable 256-Kbyte L2 cache/SRAM block with full ECC support.
• Features dual three-speed Ethernet controllers and a programmable RapidIO interface unit.
• Supports PCI/PCI-X host and agent modes with hardware-enforced coherency.

Applications

• Enterprise networking infrastructure
• Telecom transmission and switching systems
• Industrial control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix VT833LC against official NXP documentation to confirm the 833 MHz speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status as indicated in distributor records. Note that this product is officially marked as obsolete by the manufacturer; ensure long-term supply requirements are addressed through alternative sourcing strategies or lifecycle management plans.

Selection Notes
