Product details
Overview
MPC8358EVRAGDGA from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor featuring an e300 PowerPC core operating at up to 400 MHz, integrated QUICC Engine supporting Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), ATM, HDLC, and POS protocols, DDR/DDR2 SDRAM controller (32-/64-bit, up to 266 MHz), PCI 2.3 interface (32-bit, 66 MHz), and hardware security engine with AES, DES, SHA, and RSA acceleration. It targets DSLAMs, 3G Node B network interface cards, media gateways, and high-end IADs.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8358EVRAGDGA datasheet, MPC8358EVRAGDGA pinout, MPC8358EVRAGDGA application, or MPC8358EVRAGDGA equivalent, key selection criteria include e300 core frequency, QUICC Engine protocol support (IEEE 1588, RGMII/GMII, AAL2/AAL5), DDR2-18V I/O voltage compatibility, PCI host/agent mode flexibility, and integrated crypto-channel count for IPSec/SSL offload.
Technical Context
The MPC8358EVRAGDGA 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 32-bit RISC controllers running up to 400 MHz, six UCCs supporting MII/RMII/RGMII/GMII/TBI/RTBI, and hardware interworking for Ethernet-to-ATM, ATM-to-ATM, and PPP switching.
The security engine integrates four crypto-channels with dedicated execution units: AESU (128/192/256-bit keys), DEU (DES/3DES), MDEU (SHA-160/224/256, MD5), PKEU (RSA up to 2048-bit), and RNG. Memory subsystem includes a programmable DDR/DDR2 controller with ECC, page-mode support, and ODT.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR2 data rate supported by the MPC8358EVRAGDGA?
The MPC8358EVRAGDGA 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 support. This enables reliable 64-bit memory bandwidth up to 4.2 GB/s in 64-bit configuration, validated for industrial temperature operation up to +105°C junction.
Does the MPC8358EVRAGDGA support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol in hardware?
Yes, the MPC8358EVRAGDGA implements IEEE 1588 PTP timestamping directly in its QUICC Engine UCCs. Hardware timestamping occurs at the MAC layer with sub-microsecond accuracy, enabling precise time synchronization for telecom applications like mobile backhaul and packet-based TDM emulation without software overhead.
What are the power supply sequencing requirements for the MPC8358EVRAGDGA?
The MPC8358EVRAGDGA requires core supply (VDD/AVDD = 1.2 V) to reach 90% of nominal value before any I/O supply (GVDD/LVDD/OVDD) exceeds 0.7 V. PORESET must be asserted before power supplies stabilize. I/O rails have no relative sequencing order among themselves, but violating core-first sequencing risks I/O contention and excessive current draw.
How many UCCs does the MPC8358EVRAGDGA integrate, and what protocols do they support?
The MPC8358EVRAGDGA integrates six Universal Communication Controllers (UCCs). They support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet (MII/RMII/RGMII/GMII/TBI/RTBI), ATM SAR (OC-3/OC-12), HDLC (70 Mbps), Transparent, BISYNC, UART, TDM, POS (622 Mbps), and IEEE 1588-all configurable via microcode loaded into QUICC Engine IRAM.
Is the MPC8358EVRAGDGA pin-compatible with other PowerQUICC II Pro processors?
No, the MPC8358EVRAGDGA is not pin-compatible with other PowerQUICC II Pro devices such as MPC8360E or MPC8377E. While sharing architectural similarities, differences in ball count (783 vs. 896/1156), power rail assignments, and QUICC Engine interface routing require unique PCB layout and power delivery design for MPC8358EVRAGDGA.
