Product details
Overview
MPC8560VTAQFB from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a PowerQUICC III integrated communications processor featuring an e500 core, 256 KB L2 cache/SRAM, dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers (TSECs), DDR-1 SDRAM controller, PCI/PCI-X and RapidIO interfaces, and a communications processing module (CPM). It targets high-throughput networking infrastructure, telecom baseband processing, and wireless access equipment requiring deterministic real-time packet handling and multi-protocol serial I/O.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8560VTAQFB datasheet, MPC8560VTAQFB pinout, MPC8560VTAQFB application, or MPC8560VTAQFB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 667 MHz e500 core frequency, 64-bit DDR-1 interface at up to 333 MHz data rate, 783-pin FC-PBGA package with 2.5 V/3.3 V mixed I/O, support for UTOPIA, HDLC, TDM, and RapidIO 8-bit DDR messaging, and hardware-accelerated CRC and bit manipulation for protocol offload.
Technical Context
The MPC8560VTAQFB implements a Book E–enhanced 32-bit e500 Power Architecture core with 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches (parity-protected), MMU optimized for embedded Linux and real-time OS environments, and performance monitor facilities. Its CPM operates up to 333 MHz and handles serial protocols-including ATM via UTOPIA, HDLC, UART, and BISYNC-via three FCCs, four SCCs, two MCCs, and eight baud rate generators.
The device integrates a 256 KB L2 cache/SRAM configurable as full cache, full SRAM, or split mode with full ECC on 64-bit boundaries; a DDR-1 SDRAM controller supporting four banks up to 1 Gbyte each and registered DIMMs; and OCeaN-a four-port crossbar switch enabling priority-based packet reordering and starvation avoidance for internal traffic between TSECs, RapidIO, PCI, and CPM peripherals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar integrated communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8548CZQH | Same PowerQUICC III family; 1.33 GHz e500 core; no RapidIO; adds SEC crypto engine; 783-pin FC-PBGA. | Better suited for security-intensive applications (IPsec, SSL acceleration); lacks RapidIO for high-speed inter-ASIC links. | Select MPC8548CZQH when cryptographic acceleration is required and RapidIO is unnecessary; verify DDR-1 timing compatibility with existing layout. |
| P1022NSE | NXP QorIQ P1 series; dual e500v2 cores at 1.2 GHz; integrated SerDes; supports DDR2/DDR3; 689-pin PBGA. | Higher core performance and memory bandwidth; supports PCIe instead of PCI-X; newer architecture with improved power efficiency. | Choose P1022NSE for next-generation designs needing higher throughput and DDR2/DDR3 support; requires PCB redesign due to different pinout and SerDes integration. |
Compared with MPC8560VTAQFB, MPC8548CZQH trades RapidIO for hardware crypto acceleration-ideal for secure edge routers-while P1022NSE offers dual cores and DDR2/DDR3 but mandates new board layout and firmware adaptation for SerDes-based interconnects.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR-1 data rate supported by the MPC8560VTAQFB?
The MPC8560VTAQFB supports a DDR-1 SDRAM interface with a maximum data rate of 333 MHz, delivering up to 2.66 GB/s peak bandwidth over its 64-bit bus. This is achieved using 2.5 V SSTL2-compatible I/O and supports registered DIMMs with auto-refresh and self-refresh sleep modes for carrier-grade system reliability.
Does the MPC8560VTAQFB include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
No, the MPC8560VTAQFB does not include a dedicated security engine (SEC). Cryptographic operations such as AES, DES, or SHA must be performed in software on the e500 core or offloaded to an external accelerator. For hardware crypto support, consider the MPC8548CZQH, which integrates a SEC engine while sharing the same PowerQUICC III architecture and pinout.
What clock frequencies are required for the MPC8560VTAQFB's RapidIO and TSEC interfaces?
The MPC8560VTAQFB requires a 125 MHz LVDS input on RIO_TX_CLK_IN for RapidIO operation and a 125 MHz reference clock on EC_GTX_CLK125 for TSEC gigabit Ethernet functionality. Both clocks must meet ±100 ppm long-term stability (RapidIO) and ≤±2% duty cycle tolerance (TSEC) per Freescale MPC8560EC Rev. 4.2 specifications.
How many independent Ethernet MACs does the MPC8560VTAQFB integrate?
The MPC8560VTAQFB integrates two independent three-speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) Ethernet controllers (TSECs), each compliant with IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3z standards. They support GMII, MII, TBI, RGMII, and RTBI physical interfaces and include 2 KB FIFOs, jumbo frame (9.6 KB), and RMON statistics for comprehensive network monitoring.
Is the MPC8560VTAQFB pin-compatible with other PowerQUICC III processors?
The MPC8560VTAQFB uses a 783-pin FC-PBGA package identical to MPC8548CZQH and MPC8568VTAQFB, enabling mechanical compatibility. However, electrical and functional pin mappings differ significantly-especially for RapidIO, PCI-X, and CPM signals-so PCB layout reuse requires detailed signal-level verification against each device's specific pin listing.
