Product details
Overview
MPC857TVR80B from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerQUICC™ family integrated communications processor combining a 32-bit MPC8xx PowerPC core, System Integration Unit (SIU), and Communications Processor Module (CPM). It delivers 4-Kbyte instruction and 4-Kbyte data caches, single Fast Ethernet controller (FEC) with MII/UTOPIA support, one SCC (SCC1) for Ethernet-only operation, one SMC (SMC1) for UART, and operates at up to 80 MHz on 3.3 V supply. It targets ATM edge devices and DSL access concentrators requiring embedded ATM SAR acceleration.
For engineers reviewing the MPC857TVR80B datasheet, MPC857TVR80B pinout, MPC857TVR80B application, or MPC857TVR80B equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, cache configuration, FEC timing, UTOPIA level 2 compliance, thermal resistance (RθJB = 13°C/W), and confirmed alternative parts for legacy telecom infrastructure design.
Technical Context
The MPC857TVR80B implements an enhanced SAR (ESAR) engine supporting OAM performance monitoring, multi-PHY UTOPIA level 2 with FIFO buffering, and ATM port-to-port switching without RAM-based microcode. Its CPM includes a 32-bit RISC controller, 8-Kbyte dual-port RAM, and 10 serial DMA channels.
It integrates a 32-bit external bus interface with dynamic bus sizing (8/16/32-bit), eight memory banks supporting SDRAM/SRAM/Flash, and four programmable CAS/WE lines. The SIU provides IEEE 1149.1 JTAG debug, periodic interrupt timer, software watchdog, and clock synthesizer - all operating under 3.3 V with 5-V TTL-compatible I/O (except EXTAL/EXTCLK).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar communications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC857TVR100B | Same package and pinout; rated for 100 MHz (2:1 mode) with higher max power (1.54 W vs. 1.20 W at 80 MHz) | Supports higher-density ATM cell rates (e.g., OC-3 line cards); requires upgraded thermal solution | Select MPC857TVR100B when system clock budget exceeds 80 MHz and board layout accommodates 1.5 W dissipation. |
| MPC862TVR80B | 4-Kbyte caches same; adds three additional SCCs and PCMCIA interface; larger 357-pin PBGA footprint identical but different internal routing | Enables multi-port DSLAM designs with independent ATM channels; not drop-in due to SCC/SMC register map differences | Choose MPC862TVR80B only if expanding from single- to quad-line DSL aggregation and redesigning CPM initialization code. |
Compared with MPC857TVR100B, MPC857TVR80B offers lower thermal load and proven stability in volume-deployed DSLAMs; versus MPC862TVR80B, it trades peripheral count for reduced firmware complexity and smaller memory footprint - ideal for cost-sensitive, single-line edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MPC857TVR80B?
The MPC857TVR80B is rated for 80 MHz CPU operation in 2:1 mode (40 MHz bus speed). While die revision B.0 supports 100 MHz, the MPC857TVR80B variant is characterized and guaranteed only up to 80 MHz per Freescale's MPC862/857T/857DSL Hardware Specifications Rev. 3. Exceeding this violates AC timing margins for bus setup/hold and cache coherency.
Does the MPC857TVR80B support UTOPIA level 2 with full-duplex operation?
Yes, the MPC857TVR80B supports UTOPIA level 2 with added FIFO buffering and optional statistical cell counters. It also supports full-duplex operation using a "split" bus configuration - acting as master (ATM side) and slave (PHY side) simultaneously - as confirmed in Section 2 Features of the MPC862/857T/857DSL Hardware Specifications.
How many serial communication controllers (SCCs) does the MPC857TVR80B include?
The MPC857TVR80B includes exactly one serial communication controller: SCC1. As documented in Table 1 and Figure 2 of the hardware spec, SCC1 is dedicated to Ethernet-only operation and does not support HDLC, UART, or AppleTalk functions found on other MPC8xx variants.
What thermal resistance value applies to the MPC857TVR80B for board-level junction temperature calculation?
The MPC857TVR80B has a junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) of 13°C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-8 on a 2s2p PCB with thermal vias to ground plane. This value enables accurate TJ estimation using TJ = TB + (RθJB × PD), where TB is the measured board temperature near the package.
Is the MPC857TVR80B pin-compatible with the MPC862T series?
No, the MPC857TVR80B is not pin-compatible with the MPC862T series. Although both use 357-pin PBGA packages, their pin assignments differ significantly - particularly for SCC/SMC signals, TSA interface, and PCMCIA control lines. Table 1 and Figures 1–2 in the hardware spec confirm distinct peripheral allocations and missing TSA/SMC2 on MPC857T.
