MPC8280 : PowerQUICC II Integrated Communications Processor
Introducing the next generation of PowerQUICC II" processors: the MPC8270,
MPC8275 and MPC8280.
Utilizing Freescale's HiPerMOS7 0.13-micron process technology, the next generation
PowerQUICC II family offers a range of performance, feature enhancements and package
options with lower power requirements. Ideal for wired and wireless infrastructure
communications processing tasks, enhancements to the PowerQUICC II family offer
system designers a high degree of integrated features and functionality and a compelling,
proven architecture.
The next generation of PowerQUICC II processors is an optimum solution for integrated
control and forwarding plane processing in high-end communications and networking
equipment -- such as routers, DSLAMs, remote access concentrators, telecom switching
equipment and cellular base stations. Combining extensive layer 2 functionality with
control plane processing, Freescale's PowerQUICC II processors include a
high-performance embedded PowerPC 603e core and a powerful RISC-based
Communications Processor Module (CPM). The CPM off-loads peripheral tasks from the
embedded PowerPC core and provides support for multiple communications protocols,
including 10/100Mbps Ethernet, 155Mbps ATM and 256 HDLC channels. And, of
course, the next generation PowerQUICC II devices retain full software compatibility
with the PowerQUICC II family.
A range of performance and package options
Taking advantage of the 0.13-micron process, the next generation of PowerQUICC II
devices offers significant performance increases and power savings over the current
generation PowerQUICC II devices, with speeds of up to 450MHz and 300MHz in the
