MPC8545VTANGA

Overview

The MPC8545VTANGA is a 32-bit microprocessor from the Freescale PowerPC e500 family, operating at a maximum clock frequency of 800 MHz. It features a single core with integrated L1 instruction and data caches of 32 KB each. The device utilizes a 783-pin FC-PBGA package measuring 29x29 mm with a 1 mm pitch. It supports DDR and DDR2 SDRAM controllers and includes high-speed serial interfaces such as PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet.

Feature Summary

• Integrates PowerPC e500 core architecture for embedded processing tasks
• Supports multiple high-speed serial communication protocols including PCI Express
• Includes built-in memory controllers for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM
• Features integrated Gigabit Ethernet MAC controllers

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Imaging processors

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as NXP Semiconductor acquired Freescale. Confirm the specific suffix 'VTANGA' matches the required speed grade and package type. Check RoHS compliance status and ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit parts. Validate that the lead time and availability align with project requirements given potential end-of-life statuses in this product line.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when a single-core PowerPC solution with integrated networking and memory controllers is required. It is suitable for applications needing PCI Express connectivity and Gigabit Ethernet without external PHYs. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities due to the 800 MHz operation within the FCBGA-783 package. Ensure the system design supports the required I/O voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MPC85xx series of embedded processors designed for networking and industrial applications. The series is characterized by the integration of high-speed interfaces and memory controllers on a single die. The MPC8545 variant specifically targets cost-sensitive applications requiring robust processing power and connectivity options within a compact form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MPC8545 family with different suffixes indicating speed or temperature variations. Verify compatibility with existing board layouts if switching between PBGA and FCBGA packages.
