NXP Semiconductors Microprocessors MPC860TVR80D4

The MPC860TVR80D4 is a 32-bit microprocessor from the MPC860 PowerQUICC family, designed for integrated communications and networking applications. It operates at a frequency of up to 80 MHz and features an embedded single-issue core that implements Power Architecture technology. The processor includes a memory management unit (MMU) with support for multiple page sizes and a cache system with options for 4- or 8-Kbyte data caches and 4- or 16-Kbyte instruction caches. This microprocessor 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 EPROM. The device also integrates general-purpose timers and a real-time clock, making it suitable for a wide range of control applications. The MPC860TVR80D4 is packaged in a 357-PBGA format, which is conducive to compact designs. Engineers considering this product should evaluate its capabilities in relation to their specific application requirements, particularly in communications and networking systems.
