MPC8247 Communications Processors

NXP Semiconductor's high-performance MPC8272 PowerQUICC II™ processor family contains a core built on Power Architecture technology and addresses the cost-sensitive needs of a wide variety of networking and communications applications. By offering integrated hardware security, the MPC8272 family is well suited for networking equipment requiring encryption capabilities such as small and medium enterprise (SME) routers, virtual private network (VPN) and firewall routers, wireless access points, residential gateways, and xDSL equipment as well as imaging, industrial control, and test and measurement equipment.

Delivering an ideal combination of price, performance, and low-power operation, the MPC8272 family supports CPU frequencies ranging from 266 MHz to 400 MHz while offering the benefits of low power consumption (0.8 W at 266 MHz). The family's high level of on-chip integration and small-footprint 27 mm x 27 mm 516-pin PBGA packaging also enables developers to reduce board space.
