Product details
Overview
MPC8306SVMABDCA from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated communications processor featuring an e300c3 Power Architecture core (133–333 MHz), dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet via MII/RMII, five unified communication controllers (UCCs), and a 16-bit DDR2 SDRAM controller supporting up to 266 MHz data rate. It targets residential gateways, industrial control systems, and test & measurement equipment requiring programmable protocol offload and deterministic real-time I/O.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8306SVMABDCA datasheet, MPC8306SVMABDCA pinout, MPC8306SVMABDCA application, or MPC8306SVMABDCA equivalent, key selection criteria include its QUICC Engine–based HDLC/TDM support, DDR2 timing compliance at 1.8 V, USB 2.0 dual-role capability, and 56 GPIO pins with interrupt capability - all within a 484-pin PBGA package rated for 0–105 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The MPC8306SVMABDCA integrates a superscalar e300c3 core with separate 16 KB instruction and data caches, dual integer units, and hardware debug features, clocked independently via dedicated PLL. Its QUICC Engine block contains a 32-bit RISC controller executing from 48 KB IRAM, managing five UCCs for concurrent protocol handling including Ethernet, HDLC, and TDM.
Memory subsystem includes a 16-bit DDR2 controller supporting 14 address lines, auto-refresh, CKE-based power management, and up to 16 open pages; the enhanced local bus controller supports boot from NOR/NAND Flash with eight chip selects and configurable protocol engines (GPCM/UPM/FCM).

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 SDRAM data rate supported by the MPC8306SVMABDCA?
The MPC8306SVMABDCA supports a maximum DDR2 SDRAM data rate of 266 MT/s (133 MHz clock frequency) using its 16-bit interface. This is achieved with GVDD = 1.8 V ±100 mV and validated timing margins including tDDKHDS ≥0.9 ns setup and tDDKLDX ≤1100 ps hold relative to MDQS. The controller supports up to two physical banks and auto-refresh for reliable operation in embedded systems.
Does the MPC8306SVMABDCA support USB device and host modes simultaneously?
Yes, the MPC8306SVMABDCA includes a USB 2.0 dual-role controller that supports simultaneous host and device operation in OTG (On-The-Go) mode. It complies with USB 2.0 specification and operates at high-speed (480 Mbps), full-speed (12 Mbps), and low-speed (1.5 Mbps, host-only). The ULPI interface enables direct connection to transceivers without external PHY components.
How many Ethernet interfaces does the MPC8306SVMABDCA provide, and what are their physical layer options?
The MPC8306SVMABDCA provides two independent 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces via its five unified communication controllers (UCCs). Each interface supports MII and RMII physical layer connections, allowing direct attachment to external PHYs or simplified board layout with reduced pin count. Configuration is software-defined per UCC, enabling flexible assignment of Ethernet, HDLC, or TDM roles.
What is the function of the QUICC Engine block in the MPC8306SVMABDCA?
The QUICC Engine block in the MPC8306SVMABDCA is a dedicated 32-bit RISC coprocessor with 48 KB instruction RAM and 16 KB multiuser RAM, designed to offload communication protocol processing from the main e300c3 CPU. It manages five UCCs for concurrent execution of Ethernet MAC, HDLC framing, TDM channelization, and serial interface control - reducing host CPU load and improving real-time determinism.
Is the MPC8306SVMABDCA pin-compatible with other members of the PowerQUICC II Pro family?
No, the MPC8306SVMABDCA is not pin-compatible with other PowerQUICC II Pro processors such as MPC8308 or MPC8309. While sharing architectural similarities and software compatibility, it uses a unique 484-ball PBGA package with distinct ball mapping optimized for its specific peripheral set and memory interface. Board redesign is required when migrating to higher-pin-count variants.
