MPC8347E Development Board 

(MPC8347E processor card + Type-N/S carrier)

Overview

The MPC8347E Processor Card (MPC8347EPC) serves as a development platform with processor element and minimum system requirements. The MPC8347EPC is designed to work with a carrier board. With external debugger connected, developer is able to incorporate their desired systems with the PowerQUICC II Pro processors.

The MPC8347E PowerQUICC II Pro family of integrated communications processors is a next-generation extension of the popular PowerQUICC II line. Based on a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, the MPC8347E PowerQUICC II Pro Family integrates the enhanced e300 core and advanced features, such as DDR memory, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Dual PCI and Hi-Speed USB controllers. With clock speeds scaling to 667 MHz, the MPC8349E family of processors offers the highest performing PowerQUICC II devices available.

Applications

The MPC8347E PowerQUICC II Pro Family is designed to provide a cost-effective, highly integrated control processing solution that addresses the emerging needs of networking, communications and pervasive computing applications. MPC8347E processors can be used in applications such as Ethernet routers and switches, wireless LAN (WLAN) equipment, network storage, home network appliances, industrial control equipment, and copiers, printers and other imaging systems.
