Product details
Overview
MCF54453CVR200 from NXP Semiconductors is a ColdFire® Version 4 microprocessor with MMU and EMAC, operating at 200 MHz core clock (100 MHz peripheral bus), delivering up to 370 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS. It integrates 16-KB instruction cache, 16-KB data cache, 32-KB on-chip SRAM, dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, USB 2.0 OTG with ULPI, and a 16-channel DMA controller. It targets industrial networking gateways requiring deterministic real-time processing and multi-protocol connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the MCF54453CVR200 datasheet, MCF54453CVR200 pinout, MCF54453CVR200 application, or MCF54453CVR200 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, timing-critical interface specifications, and validated alternative options for embedded control and communications subsystem design.
Technical Context
The MCF54453CVR200 implements a ColdFire V4 core with hardware MMU for protected memory management and an integrated EMAC unit enabling efficient packet processing. Its crossbar switch (XBS) architecture allows concurrent access to peripherals and SRAM by multiple bus masters-including CPU, DMA, and PCI-eliminating arbitration bottlenecks in high-throughput I/O scenarios.
It supports booting from SPI-compatible flash, EEPROM, or FRAM, and includes dedicated controllers for DDR/DDR2 SDRAM (133-MHz interface), ATA/ATAPI storage, and PCI (66-MHz, 32-bit). The cryptography acceleration unit (CAU) offloads DES/3DES/AES/MD5/SHA-1 operations, while the random number generator supports secure key generation.

Yes, the MCF54453CVR200 includes a 16-bit 133-MHz DDR/mobile-DDR/DDR2 controller. It supports DDR2-400 (200 MHz clock) with configurable CAS latency, drive strength, and termination-enabling up to 3.2 GB/s peak bandwidth when interfaced with standard DDR2-800 modules.
Is the MCF54453CVR200 pin-compatible with other MCF5445x variants in the 360 TEPBGA package?
Yes, the MCF54453CVR200 shares identical pinout and ball assignment with MCF54452CVP200, MCF54454CVP200, and MCF54455CVP200 in the 360-ball TEPBGA package. Signal multiplexing and voltage domain assignments are fully aligned-allowing drop-in replacement where functional differences (e.g., CAU, ATA) are not required.
What boot sources does the MCF54453CVR200 support natively?
The MCF54453CVR200 supports native booting from SPI-compatible flash, EEPROM, and FRAM devices via its serial boot facility (SBF). Boot mode is selected using BOOTMOD[1:0] pins, and the device executes initial code directly from these serial memories without external glue logic or boot ROM.
