Product details
Overview
MPC8572EVTATLD from NXP is a dual-core Power Architecture® e500-based integrated communications processor targeting high-performance networking and telecom infrastructure. It integrates two 32-bit e500 cores (1.0 GHz max), 1 MB shared L2 cache with full ECC, dual 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers (up to 16 GB per controller), four eTSEC Ethernet controllers (10/100/1000 Mbps), integrated security engine (SEC) with AES/SHA/RSA acceleration, and Serial RapidIO® 1.2 interface - deployed in carrier-grade routers, media gateways, and wireless baseband units.
For engineers reviewing the MPC8572EVTATLD datasheet, MPC8572EVTATLD pinout, MPC8572EVTATLD application, or MPC8572EVTATLD equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-core deterministic latency, hardware-accelerated IPsec/SSL offload, DDR3-1333 support with on-die termination, 1023-pin FC-PBGA package thermal profile, and compatibility with PowerQUICC III reference designs for telecom control plane processing.
Technical Context
The MPC8572EVTATLD implements two identical Book E-enhanced e500 cores with separate 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches (parity-protected), SPE and double-precision floating-point APUs, and 36-bit real addressing with MMU supporting 4-Kbyte to 4-Gbyte page sizes. Its coherency module (ECM) manages inter-core and system-level cache coherency across shared L2 resources.
Memory subsystem includes two independent 64-bit DDR2/DDR3 controllers with programmable timing, full ECC, up to 32 open pages, and battery-backed memory support; each supports registered DIMMs, auto-refresh, and 1.8-V SSTL_1.8 (DDR2) or 1.5-V (DDR3) I/O. The integrated security engine features four crypto-channels, PKEU (RSA up to 4096-bit), AESU (128/192/256-bit), SHA-256/384/512, and RNG - all accessible via descriptor-based DMA.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-core communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC8572EVTAQKB | Same die, 1.0 GHz speed grade, but rated for extended temperature (–40°C to +125°C) and qualified to automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 2 | Targeted at vehicular telematics and rail signaling where ambient temperature exceeds industrial limits | Select when operating junction temperature may exceed +105°C or automotive qualification is mandatory |
| MPC8548CZQALF | Single-core e500, 1.33 GHz, no Serial RapidIO, reduced L2 cache (512 KB), no Pattern Matching Engine | Cost-optimized control plane for enterprise switches and smaller-scale access gateways | Select when RapidIO, dual-core symmetry, or deep packet inspection are not required |
Compared with MPC8572EVTATLD, MPC8572EVTAQKB offers higher thermal resilience at identical performance and feature set, while MPC8548CZQALF trades dual-core capability and advanced acceleration for lower BOM cost and power - making it suitable only for less demanding control-plane roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported DDR3 data rate for the MPC8572EVTATLD?
The MPC8572EVTATLD supports DDR3-1333 (667 MHz clock, 1333 MT/s) with 1.5 V I/O supply (GVDD). This requires proper on-die termination configuration, matched trace lengths, and adherence to JEDEC DDR3L timing parameters - validated in NXP's MPC8572EEC Rev. 7 specification under Section 6.
Does the MPC8572EVTATLD support pin-compatible migration from earlier PowerQUICC III processors?
No, the MPC8572EVTATLD uses a 1023-pin FC-PBGA package incompatible with prior 783-pin or 907-pin PowerQUICC III packages. Migration requires PCB redesign due to different ball map, power rail count, and thermal pad layout - confirmed in Section 18 of the MPC8572EEC datasheet.
How many crypto channels does the integrated security engine in the MPC8572EVTATLD provide?
The MPC8572EVTATLD integrated security engine provides four independent crypto channels, each capable of executing multi-command descriptor chains concurrently. This enables parallel processing of IPSec ESP, TLS record encryption, and SHA-256 hashing - detailed in Section 4 of the MPC8572EEC hardware specification.
Can the MPC8572EVTATLD operate in endpoint mode on all three PCI Express controllers simultaneously?
Yes, the MPC8572EVTATLD supports endpoint mode on all three PCI Express controllers (PCIe0, PCIe1, PCIe2), with each configurable independently via POR configuration bits. However, pin multiplexing restricts simultaneous use: only one PCIe controller can operate at x8 width; dual x4 operation requires disabling Serial RapidIO lanes - per Section 16 and pinout Table 18-1.
What is the function of the OCeaN switch fabric in the MPC8572EVTATLD architecture?
The OCeaN switch fabric in the MPC8572EVTATLD is a non-blocking crossbar that routes transactions between e500 cores, L2 cache, memory controllers, and peripherals (eTSEC, SEC, RapidIO). It implements priority-based packet reordering and starvation avoidance to guarantee QoS for time-critical traffic - described in Section 10 of the MPC8572EEC specification.
