Product details
Overview
MPC8347ECZQAGDB from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC™ II Pro integrated host processor featuring an embedded PowerPC e300 core operating up to 667 MHz, dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers (TSECs), DDR SDRAM controller supporting 32-/64-bit interfaces at up to 333 MHz (TBGA), PCI 2.2 interface, USB 2.0 dual-role controller, and hardware security engine with AES, DES, SHA, and RSA acceleration - deployed in network edge routers, industrial gateways, and secure communications appliances.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8347ECZQAGDB datasheet, MPC8347ECZQAGDB pinout, MPC8347ECZQAGDB application, or MPC8347ECZQAGDB equivalent, this page delivers verified silicon revision 1.1 specifications, TBGA-783 package mapping, DDR/PCI/Ethernet timing constraints, security engine crypto-channel architecture, and validated alternative processors for migration paths in legacy PowerQUICC-based designs.
Technical Context
The MPC8347ECZQAGDB implements a superscalar PowerPC e300 core with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data L1 caches (lockable), dynamic power management, and software compatibility across Power Architecture™ families. Its DDR SDRAM controller supports programmable timing for DDR-1, ECC, page mode (up to 16 open pages), and registered DIMM interfaces with 2.5-V SSTL2 I/O.
Two TSEC Ethernet controllers comply with IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z standards, offering GMII/RGMII/TBI/RTBI physical interfaces, 9.6-Kbyte jumbo frame support, RMON statistics, and 2-Kbyte TX/RX FIFOs per channel. The integrated security engine contains four crypto-channels with dedicated AESU, DEU, PKEU, MDEU, and RNG units.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated host processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8349ECZQAGDB | Higher core frequency (up to 800 MHz), same TBGA-783 package, identical peripheral set - silicon revision 3.0 with enhanced DDR timing margins | Required for new designs needing >667 MHz throughput or DDR-1 timing margin improvements beyond revision 1.1 limits | Select when migrating from MPC8347E to higher performance tier while retaining PCB layout and software stack compatibility |
| MPC8548CZQAGD | PowerPC e500v2 core (not e300), 1.33 GHz max, DDR2 support, no integrated security engine - different ISA and peripheral register map | Suitable for next-gen designs requiring DDR2, higher compute density, or QorIQ software ecosystem - not drop-in compatible | Choose for greenfield projects where architectural upgrade to e500v2 and DDR2 is acceptable; requires full firmware rewrite and board redesign |
Compared with MPC8347ECZQAGDB, MPC8349ECZQAGDB offers higher clock headroom and improved DDR reliability within identical footprint and software ABI, while MPC8548CZQAGD provides significantly higher compute throughput and DDR2 support but mandates full hardware and software requalification.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR data rate supported by the MPC8347ECZQAGDB?
The MPC8347ECZQAGDB supports DDR-1 SDRAM at up to 333 MHz in TBGA-783 package configurations, delivering 2.6 GB/s peak bandwidth on the 64-bit interface. This rating applies only to revision 1.1 silicon; later revisions (e.g., MPC8347EA) support higher DDR timing margins but retain the same 333 MHz ceiling for DDR-1. The MPC8347ECZQAGDB does not support DDR2 or LPDDR.
Does the MPC8347ECZQAGDB include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the MPC8347ECZQAGDB integrates a dedicated security engine with four crypto-channels and execution units for AES-128/192/256, DES/3DES, SHA-1/256, MD5, RSA up to 2048-bit, and RC4. It supports ECB, CBC, CCM, and CTR cipher modes, and performs full IPSec/SSL/TLS offload without CPU intervention - confirmed in Section 1.1 Overview and Section 1.4 Security Engine of the MPC8347EEC Rev. 11 specification.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the MPC8347ECZQAGDB?
The MPC8347ECZQAGDB uses a TBGA-783 package (27 mm × 27 mm, 1.0 mm ball pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Its thermal resistance θJA is 12.5°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions, and it operates across –40°C to +105°C junction temperature. The device requires controlled reflow profile per IPC-J-STD-020D and thermal vias under the pad per Freescale AN3702.
Is the MPC8347ECZQAGDB pin-compatible with other PowerQUICC II Pro processors?
No - the MPC8347ECZQAGDB is not pin-compatible with MPC8349E or MPC8360E despite shared TBGA-783 footprint. Pin functions differ significantly across variants (e.g., DDR address mapping, TSEC PHY interface signals, and security engine control lines). Migration requires PCB redesign; only MPC8347E and MPC8347EA share identical pinouts per Freescale ordering documentation.
What boot sources are supported by the MPC8347ECZQAGDB?
The MPC8347ECZQAGDB supports boot from I2C-1 EPROM (via embedded boot sequencer), local bus flash (8-/16-/32-bit widths), or PCI interface. Boot configuration is controlled by CFG_RESET_SOURCE[0:2] pins sampled during PORESET negation. I2C boot eliminates need for external parallel ROM and enables field-upgradable firmware images stored in serial EEPROM.
