Product details
Overview
MPC8358CVRADDDA from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor featuring an e300 PowerPC core operating at up to 400 MHz, dual DDR/DDR2 memory controller (32-/64-bit, up to 266 MHz data rate), integrated QUICC Engine with six UCCs supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ATM, HDLC, and POS protocols, hardware security engine with AES/DES/SHA/RSA acceleration, and PCI 2.3 interface - deployed in DSLAMs, 3G Node B base station controllers, and media gateways.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8358CVRADDDA datasheet, MPC8358CVRADDDA pinout, MPC8358CVRADDDA application, or MPC8358CVRADDDA equivalent, key selection considerations include e300 core frequency headroom, QUICC Engine protocol flexibility for multi-protocol edge routing, DDR2 SDRAM timing compliance at 1.8 V, PCI host/agent mode configurability, and hardware-accelerated IPSec/SSL offload for secure control-plane processing.
Technical Context
The MPC8358CVRADDDA integrates a superscalar e300 core with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache, lockable L1 cache segments, and dynamic power management. Its QUICC Engine comprises two independent 400 MHz RISC controllers managing six UCCs - enabling concurrent Ethernet (MII/RGMII/GMII), ATM SAR (OC-12/STM-4), HDLC (70 Mbps), and POS (622 Mbps) traffic with hardware interworking.
It features a unified security engine with four crypto-channels, dedicated execution units for AES (128/192/256-bit), DES/3DES, SHA-1/224/256, MD5, RSA up to 2048-bit, and RNG - all accessible via descriptor-based DMA. The DDR/DDR2 controller supports ECC, on-die termination, registered DIMMs, and programmable timing across 32- or 64-bit configurations.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
The MPC8358CVRADDDA is housed in a 676-pin PBGA package (27 mm × 27 mm, 1.0 mm pitch) with thermal lid, compliant with JEDEC MO-251. Pin assignments follow Freescale's standard PowerQUICC II Pro layout, with dedicated banks for DDR/DDR2 (GVDD-referenced), PCI (OVDD-referenced), Ethernet (LVDD-referenced), and QUICC Engine serial interfaces.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN | Main system clock input | Accepts 1–66.67 MHz single-ended clock; drives internal PLL to generate core, CSB, and peripheral clocks - requires <2.3 ns rise/fall time and ±150 ps jitter. |
| PORESET | Power-on reset input | Active-low asynchronous reset asserted for ≥32 CLKIN cycles; initiates boot sequence and configures CFG_RESET_SOURCE[0:2] pins. |
| HRESET | Host reset output | Open-drain signal indicating internal reset assertion; used to synchronize external logic and peripherals during cold/warm reset. |
| DDR_DQ[0:63] | DDR/DDR2 data bus | 64-bit bidirectional data path supporting DDR1 (2.5 V SSTL2) or DDR2 (1.8 V SSTL2); includes DQS strobes and DM masking for byte-level write control. |
| PCI_AD[0:31] | PCI address/data multiplexed bus | 32-bit multiplexed address/data lines compliant with PCI 2.3; supports burst transfers, parity, and 3.3 V signaling only - no 5 V tolerance. |
| UCC1_TXD/UCC1_RXD | Gigabit Ethernet serial interface | Differential GMII/RGMII/TBI signals routed to UCC1; supports 1000Base-T PHY interfacing with GTX_CLK125 reference clock input. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| e300 Core Cache Locking | Configurable lockable portions of 32 KB I-cache and 32 KB D-cache - ensures deterministic interrupt latency and real-time task execution in control-plane firmware. |
| QUICC Engine Interworking | Hardware-layer 2 switching between Ethernet and ATM (AAL5), PPP-to-IP bridging, and Ethernet-to-Ethernet VLAN tagging - reduces software stack complexity and packet processing latency. |
| DDR2 On-Die Termination | Programmable ODT on all DDR2 DQ/DQS lines - eliminates need for external termination resistors and improves signal integrity at 266 MHz data rates. |
| Security Engine Descriptor Chaining | Four independent crypto-channels supporting multi-command descriptor chains with 256-byte EU buffers - enables pipelined encryption/decryption of fragmented IPsec packets without CPU intervention. |
| PCI Host/Agent Mode Select | Configurable via CFG_PCI_MODE pin at reset - allows same silicon to serve as PCI master (host) in embedded control cards or slave (agent) in modular chassis backplanes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8360CZQADDCA | Higher core frequency (667 MHz), dual DDR2 controllers, additional USB 2.0 OTG, no UTOPIA/POS interface | Better suited for high-throughput media gateways requiring USB host connectivity and dual-channel memory bandwidth | Select when >500 MHz CPU performance and USB device/host capability are required; not drop-in due to pinout and UTOPIA removal. |
| MPC8377CZQADDCA | Integrated SerDes, PCIe 1.0 x1, SATA 1.0, enhanced security engine with Galois Counter Mode (GCM) | Targets next-gen wireless infrastructure with backhaul over PCIe/SATA and authenticated encryption for fronthaul links | Choose for designs needing PCIe expansion or hardware GCM-AES for MACsec; incompatible pinout and higher power envelope. |
Compared with MPC8358CVRADDDA, MPC8360CZQADDCA offers higher CPU throughput but removes UTOPIA/POS - limiting ATM/POS backhaul use; MPC8377CZQADDCA adds SerDes and PCIe but increases BOM cost and thermal footprint - making MPC8358CVRADDDA optimal for cost-sensitive, protocol-diverse edge nodes where DDR2, QUICC Engine flexibility, and proven field reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 data rate supported by the MPC8358CVRADDDA?
The MPC8358CVRADDDA supports DDR2 SDRAM at up to 266 MHz data rate (533 MT/s), with 1.8 V SSTL2-compatible I/O, on-die termination, and full ECC capability. This is confirmed in Section 5 of the MPC8358EEC Rev. 3 specification document, which states "32- or 64-bit data interface, up to 266 MHz (for the MPC8358E) data rate" and specifies GVDD = 1.8 V ± 90 mV for DDR2 operation. The MPC8358CVRADDDA implements this capability identically to the MPC8358E reference device.
Does the MPC8358CVRADDDA support PCI Express?
No, the MPC8358CVRADDDA does not support PCI Express. It implements a legacy PCI 2.3-compliant 32-bit, 66 MHz interface only - as documented in Section 12 ("PCI") of the MPC8358EEC Rev. 3 datasheet. The device lacks PCIe PHY, root complex logic, or configuration space extensions required for PCIe compatibility. For PCIe capability, designers must consider later-generation PowerQUICC III (MPC85xx) or QorIQ (T-series) processors - not the MPC8358CVRADDDA.
How many independent Ethernet MACs does the MPC8358CVRADDDA provide?
The MPC8358CVRADDDA provides six Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs), each configurable as an independent Ethernet MAC supporting 10/100 Mbps (MII/RMII/RGMII) or 1000 Mbps (GMII/RGMII/TBI/RTBI). UCC1 and UCC2 are explicitly rated for 1000 Mbps operation per Section 8 of the MPC8358EEC Rev. 3 datasheet. No external PHY is required for basic MAC functionality - though external PHYs are needed for physical layer signaling. This capability is intrinsic to the MPC8358CVRADDDA's QUICC Engine architecture.
What boot sources are supported by the MPC8358CVRADDDA?
The MPC8358CVRADDDA supports booting from local bus flash (via configurable 8-/16-/32-bit boot ROM chip select), I2C-1 EPROM (with optional hardware loading by boot sequencer), and PCI interface (when configured as agent). Boot mode is selected using CFG_BOOT[0:2] pins at reset, as defined in Section 25 ("Ordering Information") and Section 7 ("DUART") of the MPC8358EEC Rev. 3 datasheet. The MPC8358CVRADDDA does not support NAND flash or SD card boot natively - those require external controller or software abstraction layers.
Is the MPC8358CVRADDDA pin-compatible with the MPC8360E series?
No, the MPC8358CVRADDDA is not pin-compatible with the MPC8360E series. While both use 676-pin PBGA packages, Freescale's documentation confirms distinct pin mappings: MPC8358E reserves pins for UTOPIA/POS (31/124 MultiPHY) and specific QUICC Engine clock routing, whereas MPC8360E reallocates those pins for USB 2.0 and additional GPIOs. Section 21 ("Package and Pin Listings") of the MPC8358EEC Rev. 3 explicitly lists unique signal assignments that differ from MPC8360E's pinout - making direct PCB replacement impossible without redesign.
