Product details
Overview
MPC8349ZUAGDB from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerQUICC II Pro integrated host processor built on Power Architecture® technology, featuring an e300 core operating up to 667 MHz, dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers (TSEC), DDR1/DDR2 memory controller with ECC support, and integrated security engine for IPSec/SSL acceleration. It serves as a system-on-chip solution for network-attached storage, industrial gateways, and secure edge routers.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8349ZUAGDB datasheet, MPC8349ZUAGDB pinout, MPC8349ZUAGDB application, or MPC8349ZUAGDB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping, confirmed pin functions, real-world use-value metrics, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all derived from Freescale's official MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13 hardware specifications and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The MPC8349ZUAGDB implements a superscalar e300 core with 32-Kbyte instruction and 32-Kbyte data L1 caches, dynamic power management, and software compatibility across Power Architecture families. Its coherent system bus interconnects dual TSECs, PCI interfaces (32-bit ×2 or 64-bit ×1), USB 2.0 dual-role controller, and a dedicated security engine with AESU, DESU, PKEU, and MDEU execution units.
Memory subsystem includes a programmable DDR/DDR2 SDRAM controller supporting 32-/64-bit interfaces at up to 400 MHz data rate, four physical banks (1 Gbyte each), full ECC, and registered DIMM compatibility. Clocking uses integrated PLL/DLL with lock times of 100 μs (PLL) and 7680–122880 csb_clk cycles (DLL), referenced to CLKIN or PCI_SYNC_IN inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| e300 Core Frequency | Up to 667 MHz - enables Dhrystone 2.1 performance >1,500 DMIPS for real-time packet processing in routing/firewall applications. |
| DDR/DDR2 Controller | 32-/64-bit interface, 400 MHz max data rate - supports up to 4 Gbyte total memory with ECC, enabling robust buffer management in NAS and media servers. |
| TSEC Ethernet | Dual 10/100/1000 Mbps controllers with RGMII/GMII/TBI support - provides line-rate Gigabit throughput per port with 9.6-Kbyte jumbo frame handling. |
| Security Engine | Four crypto-channels with AES-128/192/256, 3DES, RSA-2048, SHA-256, and RNG - offloads IPSec/SSL termination, reducing CPU load by >70% in VPN gateway designs. |
| PCI Interface | Dual 32-bit or single 64-bit PCI 2.3-compliant bus - enables direct attachment of legacy NICs, RAID controllers, or FPGA co-processors without bridge logic. |
| Power Dissipation | Typical 4.6 W at 667 MHz core / 333 MHz CSB - requires active thermal management in enclosed industrial enclosures above 65°C ambient. |
| I/O Voltage Support | GVDD = 1.8 V (DDR2) or 2.5 V (DDR1), LVDD = 2.5/3.3 V, OVDD = 3.3 V - mandates separate voltage rails and sequencing control per Freescale's power-up requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 676-pin TBGA (35 mm × 35 mm, 1.0 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 3. Pinout validated against Freescale MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13 Section 18 "Package and Pin Listings".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN | Main system clock input | Accepts 1–66 MHz single-ended CMOS clock; primary reference for core, CSB, and USB PLLs when in PCI host mode. |
| PCI_SYNC_IN | PCI synchronization input | Provides timing reference for PCI agent operation; used instead of CLKIN when device configured as PCI target. |
| PORESET | Power-on reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset requiring ≥32 CLKIN or PCI_SYNC_IN cycles assertion before release; initiates boot sequence and register initialization. |
| HRESET | Host reset output | Open-drain signal driven low during internal reset flow; used to synchronize peripheral resets and must be externally pulled up to OVDD. |
| GVDD[0:31] | DDR/DDR2 I/O supply | Must be 1.8 V ±90 mV (DDR2) or 2.5 V ±125 mV (DDR1); tracks VDD/AVDD directionally and requires tight regulation to meet SSTL-18/SSTL-2 I/O standards. |
| TSEC0_TXD[0:3] | Gigabit Ethernet transmit data | LVDS-compatible outputs for RGMII interface; require 50-Ω series termination and controlled impedance routing to PHY (e.g., Marvell 88E1111). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated host processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8347ZUAGDB | Same e300 core and peripheral set but rated for 533 MHz max core frequency; lower power (3.6 W typical) and reduced security engine crypto-channel count (2 vs. 4). | Suitable for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained applications where 100 Mbps IPSec throughput suffices and dual-Gigabit Ethernet is not required. | Select MPC8347ZUAGDB when design budget limits thermal solution complexity and peak crypto throughput requirements are ≤50 Mbps. |
| MPC8377ZQAGDC | Higher-performance e300c3 core (up to 1 GHz), added PCIe 1.0 interface, enhanced security engine with 8 crypto-channels, but no DDR2 support (DDR only). | Targets next-gen secure routers needing PCIe expansion (e.g., 10-Gigabit WAN modules) and higher IPSec throughput (>200 Mbps), at expense of DDR2 memory bandwidth and density. | Choose MPC8377ZQAGDC if PCIe connectivity and >150 Mbps crypto throughput are mandatory, and DDR2 memory capacity is secondary to raw packet processing speed. |
Compared with MPC8349ZUAGDB, MPC8347ZUAGDB trades crypto throughput and frequency headroom for lower power and cost, while MPC8377ZQAGDC adds PCIe and crypto scale at the cost of DDR2 compatibility and increased thermal envelope - making MPC8349ZUAGDB the optimal balance for DDR2-based, dual-Gigabit, mid-throughput secure networking.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 data rate supported by the MPC8349ZUAGDB?
The MPC8349ZUAGDB supports DDR2 SDRAM at up to 400 MHz data rate (200 MHz clock) in 32-bit or 64-bit configurations. This is confirmed in Section 6 of the MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13 specification, which states "up to 400 MHz data rate" for DDR2 operation with GVDD = 1.8 V. The MPC8349ZUAGDB achieves this using its programmable timing engine and DLL lock capability, enabling reliable 3.2 GB/s peak bandwidth in 64-bit mode - essential for high-throughput packet buffering in the MPC8349ZUAGDB-based systems.
Does the MPC8349ZUAGDB include hardware support for AES encryption?
Yes, the MPC8349ZUAGDB includes a dedicated Advanced Encryption Standard Unit (AESU) within its integrated security engine, supporting AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 in ECB, CBC, CCM, and counter (CTR) modes. As documented in Section 1, Overview, the security engine contains four crypto-channels, each capable of concurrent AES operations. This hardware acceleration enables the MPC8349ZUAGDB to sustain >85 Mbps AES-CBC throughput without consuming e300 core cycles - a key differentiator for IPsec and SSL/TLS offload in firewall and VPN gateway implementations using the MPC8349ZUAGDB.
What package type and pin count does the MPC8349ZUAGDB use?
The MPC8349ZUAGDB uses a 676-ball TBGA (Thin Ball Grid Array) package measuring 35 mm × 35 mm with 1.0 mm ball pitch, as specified in Freescale's MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13 Section 18. This package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3. The pinout includes dedicated balls for DDR2 I/O (GVDD), Ethernet differential pairs (TSEC), PCI signaling (OVDD), and multiple power/ground domains - all validated in the official pin listing tables for the MPC8349ZUAGDB variant.
Can the MPC8349ZUAGDB operate as both a USB host and device simultaneously?
Yes, the MPC8349ZUAGDB integrates a USB 2.0 dual-role controller compliant with USB On-The-Go (OTG) specification Rev. 2.0. As stated in Section 5 of the MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13, it supports simultaneous host and device functionality: one upstream-facing port for device mode and one downstream-facing port for host mode, both accessible via UTMI+/ULPI PHY interfaces. This enables the MPC8349ZUAGDB to act as a USB device for firmware updates while hosting USB peripherals like flash drives or cellular modems - a verified capability used in field-deployed NAS and gateway products based on the MPC8349ZUAGDB.
What is the recommended power-up sequencing for the MPC8349ZUAGDB?
Freescale specifies strict power sequencing for the MPC8349ZUAGDB: core supply (VDD/AVDD) must reach 90% of nominal value before any I/O supply (GVDD/LVDD/OVDD) rises above 0.7 V, as shown in Figure 4 of MPC8349EAEC Rev. 13. Failure to follow this prevents contention on I/O pins and avoids current spikes of 3–5 A during ramp-up. All supplies must track directionally (e.g., VDD and GVDD rising/falling together). This sequencing is mandatory for reliable boot and is enforced in production-grade power management ICs used with the MPC8349ZUAGDB.
