Product details
Overview
MPC755BRX350TE from Freescale Semiconductor is a 350 MHz PowerPC™ RISC microprocessor implementing the 60x bus architecture, featuring a 32 KB instruction cache, 32 KB data cache, integrated L2 cache controller, and support for 2.5 V/3.3 V I/O interfaces. It targets low-power embedded systems requiring deterministic real-time performance, such as industrial control processors and telecom baseband subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the MPC755BRX350TE datasheet, MPC755BRX350TE pinout, MPC755BRX350TE application, or MPC755BRX350TE equivalent, key selection criteria include core frequency (350 MHz), L2 cache interface capability, thermal management assist unit (TAU), 360-ball CBGA package, and power states (doze/nap/sleep) - all confirmed in Freescale's MPC755EC Rev. 8 specification.
Technical Context
The MPC755BRX350TE implements a dual-integer-unit, out-of-order execution pipeline with branch prediction (512-entry BHT, 64-entry BTIC), hardware dependency detection, and six independent execution units. Its memory subsystem includes dual 32 KB eight-way set-associative L1 caches and an external L2 interface supporting 256 KB–1 MB two-way set-associative SRAM-based caches.
It integrates a thermal sensor with ±12°C accuracy, JTAG/COP debug interface, IEEE 754-compliant floating-point unit with three-cycle single-precision multiply-add latency, and full 60x bus compatibility including 32-bit address/64-bit data multiplexing, parity-checked buses, and configurable core-to-bus ratios (2x–10x).
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Core power supply | 2.0 V ± 100 mV DC input - powers processor core logic; must be stable before HRESET release |
| OVDD / L2OVDD | I/O power supplies | Separate 2.5 V or 3.3 V supplies for processor bus and L2 bus - enables mixed-voltage system integration |
| SYSCLK | Primary clock input | 25–100 MHz differential-capable reference - drives internal PLL to generate 350 MHz core frequency |
| HRESET | Asynchronous reset input | Active-low, level-sensitive - must be held for ≥255 bus clocks after PLL lock during power-on sequence |
| TLBISYNC | TLB invalidate synchronization | Used to coordinate TLB invalidation across multiple processors in coherent SMP configurations |
| THRM_INT | Thermal interrupt output | Open-drain signal asserted when junction temperature exceeds programmable threshold - triggers OS thermal throttling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RISC microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC745BRX350TE | No L2 cache interface; identical core, caches, and power management - lacks external L2 SRAM controller | Suitable only for L1-cache-only designs; cannot support >64 KB working sets without external memory arbitration | Select when L2 bandwidth is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over memory scalability |
| MPC750FXR350TE | Same 350 MHz core but 255-ball PBGA package; lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 31°C/W); no ceramic package option | Better suited for cost-sensitive consumer applications where CBGA reliability is not required | Choose for high-volume production where PCB assembly yield and rework tolerance outweigh long-term thermal margin needs |
Compared with MPC755BRX350TE, MPC745BRX350TE removes L2 interface capability - limiting memory bandwidth scalability - while MPC750FXR350TE trades ceramic packaging for plastic to reduce cost and simplify assembly, at the expense of thermal performance in sustained-load scenarios.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the MPC755BRX350TE?
The MPC755BRX350TE is factory-sorted and guaranteed to operate at 350 MHz under recommended conditions: core voltage 1.9–2.1 V, junction temperature ≤105°C, and SYSCLK frequency 25–100 MHz. This rating is validated per Table 8 in Freescale's MPC755EC Rev. 8 specification and reflects worst-case silicon performance across voltage and temperature corners.
Does the MPC755BRX350TE support both 2.5 V and 3.3 V I/O interfaces simultaneously?
Yes - the MPC755BRX350TE supports independent 2.5 V or 3.3 V operation on its processor bus (OVDD) and L2 bus (L2OVDD) through dedicated voltage select pins BVSEL and L2VSEL. These pins are sampled at reset and must remain stable during operation; mismatched voltage selections will cause functional failure per Table 2 of the MPC755EC specification.
How does the thermal management assist unit (TAU) function in the MPC755BRX350TE?
The MPC755BRX350TE integrates an on-die thermal sensor with ±12°C accuracy and 4°C resolution, feeding raw data to dedicated SPRs (THRM0–THRM3). Software reads these registers and applies calibration coefficients from AN1800/D to derive absolute junction temperature, then asserts THRM_INT to trigger OS-level throttling - enabling closed-loop thermal regulation without external sensors.
Is the MPC755BRX350TE pin-compatible with other members of the MPC7xx family?
No - the MPC755BRX350TE uses a 360-ball CBGA package, while MPC745 variants use 255-ball PBGA and MPC750FXR parts use 255-ball PBGA. Pin counts, layouts, and power delivery schemes differ across families; migration requires PCB redesign. The 60x bus protocol is compatible, but physical interconnection is not interchangeable.
What L2 cache configurations are supported by the MPC755BRX350TE?
The MPC755BRX350TE supports external two-way set-associative L2 caches of 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1 MB using synchronous BurstRAMs. Line sizes are 64 bytes (for 256 KB/512 KB) or 128 bytes (for 1 MB), with configurable copy-back/write-through policies per page or globally. The L2 interface operates at core-to-L2 divisors of ÷1, ÷1.5, ÷2, ÷2.5, or ÷3.
