Product details
Overview
MCF54453VP266 from NXP Semiconductors is a ColdFire® Version 4 microprocessor with MMU and EMAC, operating at 266 MHz (410 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS), featuring 16-KB instruction cache, 16-KB data cache, 32-KB internal SRAM, dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, and USB 2.0 On-the-Go controller - deployed in industrial networking gateways requiring deterministic real-time processing and secure connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the MCF54453VP266 datasheet, MCF54453VP266 pinout, MCF54453VP266 application, or MCF54453VP266 equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR2 memory controller timing compliance, PCI bus clock synchronization at 66 MHz, cryptographic acceleration unit (CAU) support for AES/SHA-1, and TEPBGA-360 thermal/power integrity under extended temperature operation (0°C to +70°C).
Technical Context
The MCF54453VP266 implements a ColdFire V4 core with integrated MMU for protected memory management and EMAC for high-throughput signal processing. Its crossbar switch (XBS) enables concurrent access to peripherals and RAM by multiple bus masters, while the 16-channel DMA controller offloads CPU-intensive data movement tasks.
It integrates a 16-bit 133-MHz DDR/mobile-DDR/DDR2 controller, dual Fast Ethernet MACs with RMII/MII support, and a coprocessor (CAU) accelerating DES, 3DES, AES, MD5, and SHA-1 - all synchronized via a programmable PLL and managed through two interrupt controllers (INTCs).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCF54455VP266 | Includes ATA/ATAPI controller and PCI controller - additional 4 pins enabled vs. MCF54453VP266; otherwise identical core, cache, memory, and peripheral specs. | Required where legacy PATA storage (e.g., CompactFlash) or PCI expansion (e.g., custom I/O cards) is mandatory. | Select MCF54455VP266 only if ATA or full PCI functionality is needed; MCF54453VP266 offers identical compute, networking, and crypto performance at lower BOM cost. |
| MCF54452VP266 | Same TEPBGA-360 package and 266 MHz speed, but rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - wider thermal envelope than MCF54453VP266's 0°C to +70°C rating. | Suitable for outdoor or uncontrolled-environment deployments where ambient extremes exceed +70°C or fall below 0°C. | Choose MCF54452VP266 for extended temperature operation; MCF54453VP266 is optimized for cost-sensitive commercial-temperature industrial gateways. |
Compared with MCF54455VP266, the MCF54453VP266 omits ATA/PCI hardware to reduce die size and power; compared with MCF54452VP266, it trades extended temperature tolerance for lower unit cost - making it ideal for volume production of indoor industrial edge devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 data rate supported by the MCF54453VP266?
The MCF54453VP266 supports a 16-bit DDR2 interface operating at 133 MHz clock frequency, enabling a peak theoretical data rate of 266 MT/s (megatransfers per second). This matches JEDEC DDR2-266 (PC2-2100) specifications and requires strict PCB layout adherence to differential clock routing and termination rules per the reference manual.
Does the MCF54453VP266 include a hardware cryptography engine?
Yes, the MCF54453VP266 includes a dedicated Cryptography Acceleration Unit (CAU) that offloads DES, 3DES, AES (128/192/256-bit), MD5, and SHA-1 operations from the main ColdFire core. This enables real-time encryption/decryption of network packets with minimal CPU utilization - critical for TLS/IPsec implementations in resource-constrained edge devices.
What package type and pin count does the MCF54453VP266 use?
The MCF54453VP266 uses a TEPBGA–360 package: 360-ball, 23 mm × 23 mm body, 1.27 mm ball pitch, with an exposed thermal pad. It is pin-compatible with other MCF5445x variants in the same package family (e.g., MCF54452VP266, MCF54454VP266), allowing design reuse across temperature and feature variants.
Can the MCF54453VP266 boot directly from serial flash memory?
Yes, the MCF54453VP266 supports booting from SPI-compatible flash, EEPROM, and FRAM devices via its integrated serial boot facility (SBF). Boot mode is selected using BOOTMOD[1:0] pins, and the processor executes initial firmware directly from serial memory without requiring external parallel ROM or bootloader staging.
How many Ethernet MACs does the MCF54453VP266 integrate, and what interfaces do they support?
The MCF54453VP266 integrates two independent 10/100 Fast Ethernet MACs (FEC0 and FEC1), each supporting both MII and RMII physical layer interfaces. They include hardware timestamping, VLAN tag insertion/stripping, and flow control - enabling dual-port routing, redundancy, or protocol bridging without external switch silicon.
