MPC859TCVR100A - 100MHz PowerQUICC MPU, 357-PBGA | NXP
The NXP MPC859TCVR100A is a 32-bit PowerQUICC integrated communications processor built on Power Architecture, operating at 100 MHz core frequency and housed in a 357-pin plastic BGA package (PBGA, 25x25 mm). It integrates a 32-bit PowerPC core with the MPC8xx family peripheral set, including a communications processor module (CPM), system interface unit, memory controller, and PCMCIA interface, making it a versatile system-on-chip for telecom and embedded networking applications.
What is a PowerQUICC microprocessor? A PowerQUICC (pronounced 'power-quick') device is a family of integrated communications processors originally developed by Motorola (later Freescale, now NXP) that combines a PowerPC CPU core with on-chip peripheral controllers optimized for networking, telecommunications, and embedded control. The PowerQUICC sits in the broader hierarchy of microprocessor -> embedded processor -> communications processor -> integrated system-on-chip. The MPC859 family targets routers, bridges, WAN access, and industrial control designs where deterministic communication and on-chip peripheral integration reduce bill-of-materials cost.
Key features include a single 32-bit core running at 100 MHz, a hardware multiply/accumulate unit, dedicated CPM with multiple serial channels, four 16-bit timers, system integration unit with bus sizing, an 8/16/32-bit ROM/FLASH/SRAM/DRAM controller, a PCMCIA interface supporting two card slots, and a 32-bit PC-AT ISA-style local bus. Industrial temperature screening of -40C to +100C supports telecom outdoor and industrial enclosure deployments.
Architecturally, the MPC859DSL integrates the CPU core, CPM, and SIU on a single die, providing deterministic real-time response by offloading DMA, serial protocol handling, and bus arbitration to dedicated hardware. This eliminates the software overhead typical of general-purpose CPUs performing protocol stacks, enabling sustained serial throughput even under heavy interrupt load. The 357-PBGA package exposes the full local bus, CPM I/O, and PCMCIA signals needed for design reuse across the MPC8xx family.
Typical applications include enterprise router control planes, ISDN/T1/E1 channel banks, industrial serial concentrators, multi-port serial controller cards, and PCMCIA-based storage peripherals. The 100 MHz core and CPM architecture deliver wire-speed serial handling for telecom access multiplexers while remaining a single-chip solution.
When designing with the MPC859TCVR100A, ensure the 357-pin PBGA land pattern is routed with matched-length control for the 60x bus plus all 32-bit data signals. Provide bulk decoupling near each BGA quadrant to suppress core and I/O switching noise; consider a four-layer minimum stack-up with dedicated power planes for GVDD and VDDQ rails.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives from the PowerQUICC family, and practical design notes not found in the standalone manufacturer datasheet, providing a single reference for engineers specifying the MPC859TCVR100A in new designs or maintenance programs.
