MPC8548EPXAUJB

Product Overview

The MPC8548EPXAUJB is a Freescale Semiconductor microprocessor from the MPC85xx family, built around a PowerPC e500 core. It provides a single 32-bit core operating at 1.333GHz and is packaged in a 783-FCBGA (29x29) surface-mount package. The device includes signal processing and security acceleration, supports DDR, DDR2, and SDRAM memory controllers, and integrates four 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet interfaces. I/O voltage options include 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V, while the operating temperature range is 0°C to 105°C (TA). Additional interfaces include DUART, I2C, PCI, and RapidIO.

Design & Procurement Notes

For board design, account for the 783-FCBGA (29x29) surface-mount package and plan a power architecture that supports 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V I/O domains. The 0°C to 105°C (TA) range should be considered with thermal management and enclosure design. Select compatible DDR, DDR2, or SDRAM memory and verify controller configuration. If the system uses multiple Ethernet ports, RapidIO, PCI, DUART, or I2C, allocate appropriate signal integrity and interface resources. If the design uses cryptography or random number generation, map the integrated functions against system requirements.
