Product details
Overview
MCF54453CVP200 from NXP Semiconductors is a ColdFire® Version 4 microprocessor with MMU and EMAC, operating at 200 MHz core clock, featuring 16-KB instruction cache, 16-KB data cache, 32-KB on-chip SRAM, dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, and a 16-channel DMA controller. It targets industrial networking gateways requiring deterministic real-time processing, secure boot from SPI flash, and DDR SDRAM interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the MCF54453CVP200 datasheet, MCF54453CVP200 pinout, MCF54453CVP200 application, or MCF54453CVP200 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 360-pin TEPBGA package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, PCI 66-MHz controller support, and cryptographic acceleration unit (CAU) for DES/3DES/AES/MD5/SHA-1.
Technical Context
The MCF54453CVP200 implements a ColdFire V4 core with hardware MMU enabling full virtual memory management and an integrated EMAC for high-efficiency multiply-accumulate operations in signal processing. Its crossbar switch (XBS) architecture enables concurrent access to peripherals and RAM by multiple bus masters, including CPU, DMA, and PCI.
It integrates a 16-bit DDR/mobile-DDR/DDR2 controller running at 133 MHz, USB 2.0 On-the-Go with ULPI interface, ATA/ATAPI controller, and two independent Fast Ethernet controllers compliant with IEEE 802.3. The CAU offloads cryptographic computation while the RNG provides entropy for secure key generation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCF54455CVP200 | Same package and speed grade but adds PCI controller and ATA/ATAPI interface; otherwise identical core, cache, and peripheral set | Required where legacy PCI add-in cards or parallel ATA storage (e.g., CompactFlash) must be supported | Select MCF54455CVP200 only if PCI or ATA functionality is needed; MCF54453CVP200 reduces BOM cost and layout complexity when unused |
| MCF54452CVP200 | Identical package, speed, and temperature grade but lacks Cryptography Acceleration Unit (CAU) and second Ethernet MAC | Suitable for non-secure, single-network-edge applications such as basic HMI or serial-to-Ethernet converters | Choose MCF54452CVP200 when cryptographic offload and dual Ethernet are unnecessary - lowers power and software certification scope |
Compared with MCF54455CVP200, MCF54453CVP200 removes redundant PCI/ATA logic to reduce die size and dynamic power; versus MCF54452CVP200, it adds CAU and second FEC - making it optimal for secure, dual-interface industrial gateways without PCI legacy requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCF54453CVP200?
The MCF54453CVP200 operates at a maximum core clock frequency of 200 MHz, delivering up to 370 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS performance. This speed grade is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is supported by the 360-ball TEPBGA package's thermal and electrical characteristics. The MCF54453CVP200 does not support 266 MHz operation - that speed is reserved for the VP266 variant suffix.
Does the MCF54453CVP200 include a hardware cryptography accelerator?
Yes, the MCF54453CVP200 includes a Cryptography Acceleration Unit (CAU) that supports DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1 algorithms in hardware. This unit offloads compute-intensive cryptographic operations from the ColdFire V4 core, reducing CPU utilization during TLS handshakes or IPsec packet processing. The CAU is present in MCF54453CVP200 and MCF54455CVP200 but omitted in MCF54452CVP200.
What package type and pin count does the MCF54453CVP200 use?
The MCF54453CVP200 uses a 360-ball TEPBGA (Thermally Enhanced Plastic Ball Grid Array) package measuring 23 mm × 23 mm with 1.0 mm ball pitch. This package is shared across the MCF54452–MCF54455 variants and supports full signal routing for DDR, PCI, dual Ethernet, and FlexBus interfaces. It is distinct from the 256-ball MAPBGA used by the lower-pin-count MCF54450/MCF54451 derivatives.
How many Ethernet MACs does the MCF54453CVP200 integrate?
The MCF54453CVP200 integrates two independent 10/100 Fast Ethernet MACs (FEC0 and FEC1), each with full MII interface support. Both MACs operate concurrently and can be configured for separate network segments - for example, one for upstream WAN connectivity and one for downstream LAN or fieldbus bridging. This dual-MAC capability is consistent across MCF54452 through MCF54455, distinguishing them from earlier ColdFire generations.
Is the MCF54453CVP200 compatible with the MCF54455CVP200 in terms of pinout and software?
The MCF54453CVP200 and MCF54455CVP200 share identical pinout, package, speed grade, and temperature specification, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. Software is largely compatible at the register and peripheral driver level; however, MCF54455CVP200 exposes additional PCI and ATA/ATAPI controller registers absent in MCF54453CVP200. Applications not using those peripherals will run unchanged on either part.
