XPC8240LVV200E

Overview

The XPC8240LVV200E is an integrated communications processor from NXP Semiconductors, part of the PowerQUICC family. It features a 32-bit MPC603e processor core operating at a maximum clock frequency of 200 MHz. The device integrates a 32-bit PCI interface supporting speeds up to 66 MHz and a memory controller capable of supporting SDRAM at frequencies up to 100 MHz. It includes dual-channel DMA controllers, a message unit with I2O support, and standard I2C interfaces. Designed for high integration, it reduces system component counts by consolidating functions previously requiring multiple discrete chips.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a powerful 32-bit MPC603e superscalar processor core with floating-point support and dynamic power management capabilities.
• Provides a 32-bit PCI interface compliant with PCI 2.1 specifications, supporting up to 66 MHz operation.
• Features a high-bandwidth memory interface supporting FPM DRAM, EDO DRAM, or SDRAM with ECC options.
• Includes dual-channel DMA controllers that can be cascaded and a programmable interrupt controller with multiple timers.

Applications

• Network infrastructure control processing
• Telecommunications systems
• Router and switch control planes
• Network storage applications
• Image display systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LVV200E' against official NXP documentation to confirm voltage range, temperature grade, and package type. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and power requirements. Confirm availability status as older PowerQUICC models may have limited production runs. Check for required development tools and software support packages compatible with the MPC603e architecture.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a highly integrated solution is needed to reduce bill-of-materials cost and board space in embedded networking applications. It is suitable for systems requiring a balance of processing performance and peripheral integration without external bridge chips. Consider the 200 MHz speed sufficient for control plane tasks rather than high-throughput data plane processing. Evaluate thermal requirements for the specific operating environment.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the NXP PowerQUICC series, designed for embedded communications applications. It utilizes the Power Architecture instruction set, ensuring software compatibility with other PowerPC-based processors. The device represents a generation of integrated processors aimed at simplifying design for routers, switches, and industrial control systems by combining CPU, memory controller, and I/O interfaces on a single die.

Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP official documentation for direct cross-references. Alternative parts within the same family may offer higher clock speeds or additional interfaces. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical compatibility before substitution.
