Product details
Overview
MPC8247VRTIEA from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC II integrated communications processor combining a 32-bit Power Architecture G2_LE core, dual Fast Communication Controllers (FCCs), three Serial Communication Controllers (SCCs), PCI bridge, USB 2.0 controller, and memory controller - all in a single 516-pin PBGA package. It operates at up to 400 MHz core frequency with 16 KB instruction and 16 KB data caches, supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet via MII/RMII, and targets network edge routers, industrial gateways, and telecom access equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8247VRTIEA datasheet, MPC8247VRTIEA pinout, MPC8247VRTIEA application, or MPC8247VRTIEA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-FCC Ethernet capability, absence of integrated security engine (SEC), VR-package thermal performance (RθJA = 27°C/W, natural convection), and compatibility with 3.3 V I/O and 1.5 V core supply rails.
Technical Context
The MPC8247VRTIEA implements a dual-issue G2_LE core derived from the MPC603e architecture, with separate 16 KB four-way set-associative instruction and data caches, physically addressed MMU, and support for cache locking and bus snooping. Its CPM subsystem includes embedded RISC microcontroller, 16 KB dual-port RAM, and 4 KB instruction RAM for offloading serial protocol handling.
It integrates a 60x-to-PCI bridge compliant with PCI Specification 2.2 (32-bit, 66 MHz, 3.3 V), supports burst/single transfers on the 64-bit 60x bus, and features eight-bank glueless memory controller for SRAM, SDRAM, Flash, and EPROM. Unlike MPC8272/MPC8248, it omits the integrated security engine (SEC) but retains full USB 2.0 host/slave functionality and two TDM interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8248VRTIEA | Includes integrated Security Engine (SEC) supporting AES, DES, SHA-1, and RSA - adds ~150 mW static power and 2.5 mm² die area | Required for IPsec/SSL offload in secure remote access or encrypted backhaul | Select MPC8248VRTIEA when cryptographic acceleration is mandatory; MPC8247VRTIEA suffices for non-encrypted routing/gateway use. |
| MPC8271VRTIEA | Same core/CPM/FCC/SCC feature set, but adds UTOPIA II interface and ATM SAR support - no SEC | Suitable for DSLAMs requiring ATM cell segmentation/reassembly at 155 Mbps | Choose MPC8271VRTIEA only if UTOPIA/ATM protocol handling is required; otherwise MPC8247VRTIEA offers identical Ethernet/serial functionality at lower cost. |
Compared with MPC8247VRTIEA, MPC8248VRTIEA adds hardware encryption but increases power and cost, while MPC8271VRTIEA extends telecom protocol support without security - making MPC8247VRTIEA the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, non-ATM, non-encrypted embedded networking.

FAQ
Does MPC8247VRTIEA include an integrated security engine (SEC)?
No, MPC8247VRTIEA does not include the integrated security engine. The SEC is present only in MPC8272 and MPC8248 variants per the official PowerQUICC II Hardware Specifications (Rev. 3, 2011). MPC8247VRTIEA relies on software-based cryptography or external accelerators for encryption tasks, making it suitable for applications where hardware crypto is not required.
What is the maximum operating temperature for MPC8247VRTIEA?
The MPC8247VRTIEA is rated for a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 105°C under recommended operating conditions. Ambient temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, consistent with commercial-grade qualification. Thermal design must ensure RθJA ≤ 27°C/W (natural convection, single-layer board) to maintain safe operation at full 400 MHz load.
Which Ethernet standards does MPC8247VRTIEA support natively?
MPC8247VRTIEA supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX via its two Fast Communication Controllers (FCCs) using MII or RMII interfaces. It does not include physical layer transceivers - external PHYs (e.g., DP83848, KSZ8041) are required. No native support for Gigabit Ethernet or SGMII is provided.
Can MPC8247VRTIEA run Linux operating systems?
Yes, MPC8247VRTIEA is fully supported by Linux kernel versions 2.4 through 2.6 (via Freescale's legacy BSPs) and has community-maintained support in modern Yocto Project releases. Its 32-bit Power Architecture core, MMU, and 16 KB caches meet minimum requirements for embedded Linux execution with real-time extensions.
What package type and pin count does MPC8247VRTIEA use?
MPC8247VRTIEA uses a 516-ball Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package with VR designation - lead-free, 27 mm × 27 mm body size, 1.27 mm ball pitch. This matches the pinout and footprint of other PowerQUICC II family members including MPC8272, MPC8248, and MPC8271 in VR packaging.
