NXP Semiconductors SPC5200CBV400R2

Overview

SPC5200CBV400R2 from Freescale Semiconductor is a PowerPC-based system-on-chip (SoC) microcontroller integrating an MPC603e-series G2_LE core, BestComm DMA subsystem, SDRAM/DDR memory controller, PCI 2.2 controller, dual CAN 2.0A/B controllers, Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), six PSCs, USB 1.1 host, ATA, I²C, SPI, J1850, and real-time clock - operating at 400 MHz with 760 MIPS performance in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).

For engineers reviewing the SPC5200CBV400R2 datasheet, SPC5200CBV400R2 pinout, SPC5200CBV400R2 application, or SPC5200CBV400R2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, validated pin functions, key timing and power parameters, automotive and industrial communication use cases, and two confirmed alternative SoCs for functional migration paths.

Technical Context

The SPC5200CBV400R2 implements a superscalar G2_LE core with double-precision FPU, 16 kB instruction and 16 kB data caches, and MMU support. Its BestComm subsystem offloads peripheral I/O handling via dedicated DMA channels and 16 kB local SRAM, decoupling CPU execution from serial, Ethernet, and CAN traffic management.

It integrates dual independent PLLs: a system PLL generating up to 533 MHz VCO output from 15.6–35 MHz SYS_XTAL input, and a core PLL deriving the 400 MHz G2_LE clock from the system clock. Memory interface supports DDR/SDRAM at up to 133 MHz with 32-bit bus and built-in refresh logic.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the SPC5200CBV400R2 core?

The SPC5200CBV400R2 features an MPC603e-series G2_LE core rated for 400 MHz operation across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), delivering 760 MIPS performance. This frequency is guaranteed under specified VDD_CORE (1.42–1.58 V) and ambient conditions per Rev. 4 datasheet Section 3.1.2 Table 2 Note 2.

Does the SPC5200CBV400R2 support DDR SDRAM memory?

Yes, the SPC5200CBV400R2 supports both SDRAM and DDR SDRAM via its integrated memory controller, with DDR operation up to 133 MHz (266 MT/s) and 32-bit data bus width. The controller includes automatic initialization, self-refresh, and programmable timing registers - fully documented in Section 2 Features and Section 3.3.1 of the MPC5200 Rev. 4 datasheet.

How many CAN controllers does the SPC5200CBV400R2 integrate?

The SPC5200CBV400R2 integrates two independent MSCAN controllers compliant with CAN 2.0A/B protocol, supporting standard and extended frames, bit rates up to 1 Mbps, and hardware message filtering. These are implemented using Freescale's FSCAN architecture and share no resources with the six PSCs or J1850 BDLC.

What power management modes are available on the SPC5200CBV400R2?

The SPC5200CBV400R2 supports Nap, Doze, Sleep, and Deep-Sleep modes, each with distinct clock gating and voltage domain control. Deep-Sleep draws just 52.5 mW while retaining SRAM content and enabling WakeUp via GPIO, RTC alarm, or CAN activity - detailed in Section 2 Features and Table 6 of the Rev. 4 datasheet.

Is the SPC5200CBV400R2 pin-compatible with other MPC5200 variants?

Yes, the SPC5200CBV400R2 shares identical 484-pin PBGA mechanical and electrical pinout with all MPC5200 family members including MPC5200BVR400 and MPC5200CVR400. Signal assignments, power/ground ball map, and thermal pad layout are fully compatible - confirmed in Section 4 Package Description of the Rev. 4 datasheet.
