NXP Semiconductors Microprocessors MPC8358EZQAGDDA

The MPC8358EZQAGDDA is a microprocessor from the PowerQUICC II Pro series by Freescale Semiconductor, designed for high-performance communication applications. It features an e300 PowerPC core operating at a maximum frequency of 400 MHz, with a 32 KB instruction cache and a 32 KB data cache. The processor supports a single DDR SDRAM memory controller, enabling efficient data management for control and data plane processing. This device is equipped with a QUICC Engine module that facilitates interworking and switching between various protocols, including ATM and Ethernet, making it suitable for networking and telecommunications applications. The MPC8358E includes six universal communication controllers (UCCs) for flexible peripheral support and features such as dual I2C, a PCI controller, and a dedicated security engine. The processor is particularly well-suited for applications like DSLAMs, routers, and media gateways, where robust performance and protocol handling are critical.
