Product details
Overview
MPC8358EZQAGDDA from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC II Pro communications processor featuring an e300 PowerPC core operating at up to 400 MHz, integrated QUICC Engine for protocol interworking (ATM, Ethernet, HDLC, POS), DDR/DDR2 SDRAM controller, 32-bit PCI 2.3 interface, and dedicated security engine supporting AES, DES, SHA, RSA, and RNG. It serves as control- and data-plane processor in DSLAMs, 3G Node B interface cards, media gateways, and high-end IADs.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8358EZQAGDDA datasheet, MPC8358EZQAGDDA pinout, MPC8358EZQAGDDA application, or MPC8358EZQAGDDA equivalent, key selection criteria include e300 core frequency (400 MHz), QUICC Engine dual-RISC operation (400 MHz), DDR/DDR2 memory controller bandwidth (up to 266 MHz), PCI 2.3 compliance (32-bit/66 MHz), and hardware-accelerated crypto support (AES-128/192/256, SHA-160/224/256, RSA-2048).
Technical Context
The MPC8358EZQAGDDA integrates a superscalar e300 core with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache, lockable L1 cache, and dynamic power management. Its QUICC Engine comprises two independent 32-bit RISC controllers-each running at up to 400 MHz-with serial DMA, six UCCs supporting MII/RMII/RGMII/GMII/TBI/RTBI, ATM SAR (622 Mbps), and IEEE 1588 timestamping.
It features a unified DDR/DDR2 SDRAM controller configurable as 32- or 64-bit bus (266 MHz data rate), full ECC, on-die termination, and registered DIMM support. The security engine includes four crypto-channels with dedicated execution units for AES, DES/3DES, RC4, SHA/MD5/HMAC, and RSA/DH/ECC, plus hardware XOR for RAID parity acceleration.
