Product details
Overview
MPC8272CZQTIEA from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerQUICC II integrated communications processor combining a 32-bit Power Architecture® G2_LE core (400 MHz max), dual Fast Communication Controllers (FCCs) for 10/100 Ethernet, three Serial Communications Controllers (SCCs), PCI bridge (32-bit, 66 MHz), and integrated Security Engine (SEC) supporting AES, DES, SHA-1, and RSA acceleration - deployed in industrial gateways, secure network appliances, and telecom edge routers.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8272CZQTIEA datasheet, MPC8272CZQTIEA pinout, MPC8272CZQTIEA application, or MPC8272CZQTIEA equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (516-pin PBGA, ZQ code), confirmed SEC hardware acceleration, validated FCC/SCC protocol support (HDLC, ATM, USB 2.0), and real-world thermal/power data per Rev. 3 hardware spec.
Technical Context
The MPC8272CZQTIEA integrates a dual-issue G2_LE core with separate 16 KB instruction and data caches, MMU, and FPU, operating at up to 400 MHz via internal PLL multipliers (ratios 2:1 to 8:1). Its CPM subsystem executes communications tasks independently using 16 KB dual-port RAM and 4 KB instruction RAM, enabling concurrent protocol handling without CPU intervention.
It features two FCCs supporting IEEE 802.3 10/100 Ethernet (MII/RMII), one UTOPIA II port (8-bit, 31 MHz), USB 2.0 host/slave controller, and a PCI 2.2-compliant bridge with four DMA channels. The integrated SEC accelerates cryptographic operations including AES-128/256, 3DES, SHA-1, MD5, and RSA key generation in hardware.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | G2_LE Power Architecture® core - dual-issue integer pipeline with FPU, MMU, and cache coherency support for embedded Linux and real-time OS deployment. |
| Max Core Frequency | 400 MHz - achieved via 8:1 internal PLL multiplier on 50 MHz reference clock; enables high-throughput packet processing in routing applications. |
| I/O Voltage | 3.3 V (VDDH) - powers all peripheral interfaces (PCI, FCC, SCC, USB); requires separate 1.5 V supply (VDD) for core logic. |
| Security Engine | Hardware SEC - supports AES-128/256, DES/3DES, SHA-1, MD5, PKEU, RNG; offloads crypto from main CPU, reducing latency in IPsec/SSL termination. |
| PCI Interface | 32-bit, 66 MHz, 3.3 V - fully compliant with PCI Spec 2.2; includes host/agent mode, configuration space, and streaming DMA for bridging to host processors or peripherals. |
| Package | 516-pin PBGA (ZQ code) - lead-sphere solder balls; thermal resistance RθJA = 19°C/W (four-layer board, natural convection); requires 0.1 µF + 47 µF local bypassing per power rail. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C ambient (TA), 105°C junction (Tj) - qualified for commercial-grade industrial networking equipment with active thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 516-ball PBGA (ZQ), 27 mm × 27 mm, 1.0 mm ball pitch, lead-sphere finish. Thermal pad on underside requires connection to ground plane for optimal heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD / VDDH | Core & I/O power supplies | VDD = 1.425–1.575 V (core logic); VDDH = 3.135–3.465 V (I/O drivers); must be sequenced with VDDH applied before or simultaneously with VDD during power-on reset. |
| CLKIN | Main system clock input | Accepts 25–50 MHz crystal or oscillator; drives internal PLLs for core (G2_LE) and CPM domains; VIHC = 2.4–3.465 V ensures robust clock acquisition. |
| PCI_AD[0–31] | PCI address/data multiplexed bus | 32-bit bidirectional multiplexed bus; supports burst transfers; requires 27 Ω series termination per line per AC specs (Table 9) to suppress reflections. |
| FCC1_MDC / FCC1_MDIO | PHY management interface | IEEE 802.3 MII management interface for external PHY configuration; open-drain outputs require 2.2 kΩ pull-up to VDDH for proper level translation. |
| SEC_CLK / SEC_RST | Security engine clock/reset | Dedicated clock domain for SEC block; SEC_RST must be asserted synchronously with core reset to initialize cryptographic state machines correctly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual 16 KB caches | Separate 4-way set-associative instruction and data caches with LRU replacement - reduce memory latency for real-time packet forwarding and interrupt servicing. |
| CPM offload engine | 32-bit RISC microcontroller with 16 KB dual-port RAM - handles HDLC framing, CRC generation, and serial protocol state machines without CPU cycles. |
| UTOPIA II interface | 8-bit parallel interface at 31 MHz - directly connects to ATM PHY chips (e.g., IDT77V33 or PMC-Sierra PM5350) for OC-3/STM-1 cell processing. |
| USB 2.0 controller | Full-speed (12 Mbps) and low-speed (1.5 Mbps) host/slave mode - supports firmware updates via USB flash drive and diagnostics via USB CDC ACM class. |
| Hot-swap PCI support | Complies with PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap Specification - enables field-replaceable line cards in carrier-grade chassis without powering down backplane. |
Applications
| Industrial Protocol Gateway | Secure VPN Appliance |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Translating Modbus TCP to PROFIBUS DP in factory automation systems with legacy PLC integration. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MPC8272CZQTIEA acts as protocol translation engine - CPM handles serial Modbus RTU framing while G2_LE core runs Linux-based gateway software and manages dual Ethernet ports. Use Value: Eliminates need for external FPGA or ASIC by integrating both real-time serial control (via SCCs) and IP networking (via FCCs) on one die, reducing BOM cost and PCB area. |
Use Scenario: Embedded firewall performing IPsec tunnel establishment and packet decryption for remote office connectivity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MPC8272CZQTIEA serves as crypto-accelerated network processor - SEC performs AES-256 encryption/decryption while FCCs handle encrypted packet ingress/egress at line rate. Use Value: Achieves >100 Mbps IPsec throughput without CPU saturation, enabling deterministic response time for critical control traffic in SCADA networks. |
| Telecom Access Router | PCI-Based Network Card |
|
Use Scenario: DSLAM upstream aggregation node connecting multiple ADSL lines to metro Ethernet backbone. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MPC8272CZQTIEA functions as ATM-to-Ethernet convergence layer - UTOPIA II interfaces with ATM PHY, FCCs terminate Ethernet frames, and PCI bridges to host CPU. Use Value: Supports full-duplex SAR at 155 Mbps with AAL5 segmentation/reassembly, enabling single-chip TDM-to-packet conversion for cost-sensitive access infrastructure. |
Use Scenario: PCIe-to-PCI bridge card adding legacy PCI peripherals (e.g., ISA-compatible modems) to modern servers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: MPC8272CZQTIEA operates as PCI host bridge - manages configuration space, implements PCI-to-60x memory remapping, and provides four DMA channels for zero-copy data movement. Use Value: Enables hot-plug insertion of PCI cards into server backplanes with full compliance to PCI 2.2 timing and arbitration, avoiding custom ASIC development. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8248CZQTIEA | Same PowerQUICC II family, identical pinout and core architecture; lacks UTOPIA II port but adds second USB 2.0 controller. | Better suited for USB-centric designs (e.g., multi-port cellular gateways); unsuitable where ATM/UTOPIA PHY interfacing is required. | Select MPC8248CZQTIEA only if UTOPIA is unnecessary and additional USB host capability is prioritized over ATM support. |
| MPC8360EVRAGDB | PowerQUICC III successor; e300 core (417 MHz), DDR controller, Gigabit Ethernet MACs, no SEC; 672-pin PBGA. | Targets higher-bandwidth applications (e.g., 1 Gbps firewalls); requires PCB redesign due to different package, voltage rails, and memory interface. | Choose MPC8360EVRAGDB for new designs needing Gigabit throughput and DDR memory, but not as drop-in replacement for MPC8272CZQTIEA. |
Compared with MPC8248CZQTIEA, MPC8272CZQTIEA provides essential UTOPIA II for ATM infrastructure but fewer USB endpoints; versus MPC8360EVRAGDB, it offers proven SEC acceleration and lower power at 100 Mbps class, though with legacy 10/100 Ethernet and SDRAM-only memory support.
