MPC8360ZUAJDGA

The MPC8360ZUAJDGA is a Freescale/NXP embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) from the PowerQUICC II Pro family. It combines a PowerPC-based CPU core with a rich set of networking-centric peripherals and memory interfaces, making it suitable for embedded telecom and networking gear such as gateways, routers, and switches.
Key points:
- CPU: PowerPC-based core (embedded processing for high-throughput tasks).
- I/O and interfaces: multiple high-speed networking interfaces (Ethernet options), plus PCI/PCI-X, USB, and various memory controllers.
- Target use: embedded networking equipment, telecom equipment, and similar devices requiring integrated processing and rich I/O.
- Packaging suffix: ZUAJDGA encodes specific package, temperature grade, and variants; exact specs vary by lot. Always refer to the MPC8360 datasheet and the product marking for precise capabilities.
For precise clock speeds, the exact number of Ethernet MACs, memory sizes, and supported buses, consult the official datasheet and user guide for MPC8360ZUAJDGA.
