NXP Semiconductors MPC8245TVV350D

Overview

MPC8245TVV350D from Freescale Semiconductor is a 350 MHz integrated PowerPC™ MPC603e-based processor combining a CPU core and PCI bridge in a single TBGA package, operating at 1.9–2.2 V with junction temperature range –40°C to 105°C, used in industrial control and telecom infrastructure systems requiring embedded processing with PCI interconnect.

For engineers reviewing the MPC8245TVV350D datasheet, MPC8245TVV350D pinout, MPC8245TVV350D application, or MPC8245TVV350D equivalent, key selection criteria include core frequency (350 MHz), lead-free TBGA packaging (VV), extended temperature operation, PCI bridge integration, and voltage tolerance (1.9–2.2 V).

Technical Context

The MPC8245TVV350D implements a superscalar PowerPC MPC603e core with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 cache, integrated PCI controller supporting 33 MHz 32-bit PCI bus mastering and target operations, and memory controller for SDRAM/SDRAM interfaces. It supports little-endian mode and features a programmable interrupt controller.

Its architecture enables direct connection to PCI peripherals without external bridge logic, while the die-junction temperature rating of –40°C to 105°C confirms suitability for harsh-environment embedded applications. The part uses a 0x80811014 processor version register value and belongs to the TXXnnnX series with pilot production prototype status (X prefix) and revision D marking.

FAQ

What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the MPC8245TVV350D?

The MPC8245TVV350D is rated for a maximum guaranteed core frequency of 350 MHz under recommended operating conditions (1.9–2.2 V, –40°C to 105°C junction temperature). This frequency is validated per Freescale's MPC8245 Hardware Specification Addendum Rev. 1.1 and applies specifically to the VV-package revision D variant. Operation above this frequency is not characterized or supported.

Does the MPC8245TVV350D support PCI 2.2-compliant transactions?

Yes, the MPC8245TVV350D implements a PCI 2.2-compliant interface with full master and target capability, supporting 33 MHz, 32-bit addressing and data transfers. Its PCI controller handles configuration space access, memory-mapped I/O, and burst transactions as defined in the PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2, confirmed in the MPC8245 Integrated Processor Hardware Specifications document.

Is the MPC8245TVV350D RoHS-compliant?

Yes, the MPC8245TVV350D is RoHS-compliant. The "VV" in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free TBGA packaging per Freescale's marking convention and documentation (MPC8245ECS01AD Rev. 1.1). This satisfies Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restricted hazardous substances in electronic components.

What does the "X" prefix in MPC8245TVV350D indicate?

The "X" prefix in MPC8245TVV350D identifies it as a pilot production prototype per Freescale SOP 3-13. These parts have preliminary reliability and characterization data, require written customer authorization prior to shipment, and may undergo specification changes. They are not intended for final production without explicit validation and approval by the end customer.

Can the MPC8245TVV350D operate with a 3.3 V I/O supply?

Yes, the MPC8245TVV350D supports 3.3 V I/O signaling on its PCI and peripheral interfaces, while its core voltage remains regulated between 1.9 V and 2.2 V. This dual-voltage capability allows direct interfacing with standard 3.3 V PCI devices and SDRAM components without level-shifting circuitry, as specified in Table 2 of the MPC8245 Hardware Specification Addendum.
