NXP Semiconductors Microprocessors MPC860DEVR50D4

The MPC860DEVR50D4 is a member of the MPC860 PowerQUICC family, designed for integrated communications applications. It features a 32-bit embedded core based on Power Architecture technology, operating at a frequency of up to 50 MHz. The microprocessor includes a memory management unit (MMU) with support for multiple page sizes and a cache system comprising a 4-Kbyte instruction cache and a 4-Kbyte data cache. This device supports a dynamic bus sizing capability for 8, 16, and 32-bit data, and it has a comprehensive memory controller that can interface with various memory types, including DRAM, SRAM, and Flash. The MPC860DEVR50D4 also integrates general-purpose timers and a real-time clock, making it suitable for a range of applications in networking and communications systems. Its package type is a ball grid array (BGA), which is advantageous for space-constrained designs. Engineers considering this product should evaluate its specifications against their project requirements, particularly in terms of processing power, memory interface capabilities, and integration features.
