MPC8548E development platform
(MPC8548E processor card + Type-N/A carrier)
(Above is the pictures of MPC8548E reference board )
Overview
MICETEK provides a
quicker and
more convenient solution of development system for Freescale
PowerPC processor family, which consists of MPC85XXE processor
card and two kinds of carriers for different application. Combined with MPC8548E
processor card (MPC8548EPC), Type-N carrier can be used for network communication application, while
Type-A for ATCA/MicroTCA chassis. It reduces the
design cycle and saves the investment for the designer.
These PowerQUICC III processors (PQ38), the MPC8548E, MPC8547E, MPC8545E and MP8543E, are designed to deliver Gigahertz-plus communications processing performance and advanced features with the exceptional integration and high-speed connectivity required by enterprise networking, telecom transmission and switching, 3G wireless infrastructure, storage and high-end imaging markets. The processors are designed to offer clock speeds scaling up to 1.333 GHz with headroom for 1.5 GHz.
Advantages
of Using the MPC8548EPC
The MPC8548PC is
designed to contain the mandatory memories (DDR and flash) and system logics
(latch and buffer) only. However, it supports wide range of peripherals/
interfaces, for example 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, UART, through the I/O
connectors and a corresponding carrier board. The following sections describe
the advantages of using the MPC8548PC.
