Product details
Overview
MPC8358CVRAGDDA from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor featuring an e300 PowerPC core operating at 400 MHz, integrated QUICC Engine supporting six UCCs for Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), ATM, HDLC, and POS protocols, and a dual-voltage DDR/DDR2 SDRAM controller (32-/64-bit, up to 266 MHz). It serves as a control- and data-plane processor in DSLAMs, 3G Node B interface cards, media gateways, and high-end IADs.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8358CVRAGDDA datasheet, MPC8358CVRAGDDA pinout, MPC8358CVRAGDDA application, or MPC8358CVRAGDDA equivalent, key selection considerations include its 400 MHz e300 core frequency, integrated security engine with AES/DES/SHA acceleration, PCI 2.3 host/agent interface, and support for IEEE 1588 time synchronization in telecom infrastructure designs.
Technical Context
The MPC8358CVRAGDDA implements a superscalar e300 core with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache, lockable L1 cache, and dynamic power management. Its QUICC Engine contains two 400 MHz RISC controllers managing six UCCs with hardware-accelerated protocol interworking including ATM-to-Ethernet bridging, L2 switching, and PPP/ML-PPP processing.
It integrates a dedicated security engine with four crypto-channels supporting RSA up to 2048 bits, AES-128/192/256, SHA-1/224/256, MD5, and HMAC, plus a 32-bit PCI 2.3 interface, DDR/DDR2 memory controller with ECC and ODT, and dual I²C, SPI, DUART, and JTAG interfaces - all within a single PBGA package.
