Processor tackles multiple tasks in industrial control and automotive

27 August 2003 DSP, Micros & Memory

A new processor device from Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector combines low power, high performance and a broad range of input/output (I/O) in a single, cost-effective package. According to the company, this 32-bit embedded processor makes the elimination of multiple processors in designs possible, and provides ample headroom for product upgrades and differentiation.

The MPC5200 is designed to improve performance in applications such as gateways, industrial controllers, telematics, global positioning systems, instrumentation and data image processing devices. Networking and industrial control design engineers can also take advantage of the MPC5200 in the automotive market, where long-term product availability is a requirement.

The 400 MHz MPC5200 contains a PowerPC 603e core. The processor includes a Floating Point Unit that delivers 760 MIPS while consuming fewer than 850 mW of power. Robust I/O and processing power help eliminate the need for separate controllers. For tasks such as voice recognition or intensive data processing, it can eliminate the need for a DSP says the manufacturer. An integrated SDRAM interface supports 133 MHz Double Data Rate (266 MHz effective) memories.

Housed in a compact 272-pin package, the processor was designed for high data throughput. The MPC5200 also offers exceptional flexibility via support for numerous automotive and general networking functions including Ethernet, USB 1.1 Host, CAN 2.0, J1850 BDLC-D, PCI, ATA, I2S (Inter-IC Sound), I2C (Inter-IC) and SPI.

The MPC5200's extended temperature capabilities also makes it well-suited for non-automotive applications including industrial control.
