MCF5480CVR166 Übersicht

The NXP Semiconductors MCF5480CVR166 is a 32-bit ColdFire V4E microprocessor based on the MCF548x family, operating at 166 MHz internal core frequency and packaged in a 388-ball PBGA (27x27 mm). It integrates an MMU, FPU, ROMless boot from external memory, and a rich peripheral set including Ethernet, CAN, PCI, USB, and serial interfaces for networked embedded designs.

A microprocessor (MPU) is a CPU-centric integrated circuit that typically lacks on-chip flash and boots from external ROM/RAM. ColdFire V4E is a limited-superscalar, Harvard-architecture variant of the ColdFire family optimized for high code density in C and a balance of integer performance with embedded peripheral integration. The MCF548x sits in the high-performance tier of the ColdFire roadmap, with on-chip peripherals aimed at industrial control, networking, and secure connected devices. Within the broader taxonomy, ColdFire V4E derives from the original m68k architecture, occupying a niche between classic microcontrollers and high-end application processors.

The MCF5480CVR166 features hardware encryption acceleration for secure communications, dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, dual CAN 2.0B controllers, a 32-bit PCI 2.2 bus interface, USB 2.0 full-speed, I2C, SPI, UARTs, and an SDRAM/DDR memory controller. The Harvard core with separate instruction and data buses, branch prediction, and a hardware multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit delivers roughly 254 MIPS at 166 MHz, with deterministic interrupt latency suitable for real-time control loops.

Typical applications include industrial Ethernet gateways, secure networked controllers, factory automation PLCs, building-automation routers, and PCI-based embedded boards. The integrated encryption accelerator makes the part attractive for VPN gateways and IEC 62443-compliant industrial nodes that need both TCP/IP throughput and IPsec/SSL offload.

When designing with the MCF5480CVR166, follow the NXP hardware design guide for PBGA cooling: a minimum 4-layer board with a continuous ground plane beneath the BGA is recommended, and decoupling must include a bulk capacitor within 25 mm of each supply ball. The V4E core is sensitive to supply rail sequencing - assert POR cleanly before enabling clocks, and hold RESET low for at least 32 SCLK cycles after the 3.3 V supply stabilizes.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, parametric drop-in alternatives within the MCF548x family, and practical design notes not found on the manufacturer product page. Lifecycle status reflects NXP's published NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) designation, which is critical sourcing intelligence for new programs.

Typische Anwendungen

MCF5480CVR166 ist geeignet für 7 Anwendungs: Industrial Ethernet Gateway, Secure Networked Controller, Factory Automation PLC, Building Automation Router, PCI-based Embedded Board, Secure VPN Gateway Appliance, Point-of-Sale / Kiosk Controller.

🏭

Industrial Ethernet Gateway

The MCF5480CVR166's dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs, MMU for full TCP/IP stack offload, and hardware encryption accelerator make it ideal as the main CPU inside a DIN-rail industrial gateway. At 166 MHz the ColdFire V4E delivers roughly 254 MIPS, which is sufficient to terminate OPC UA, Modbus TCP, and IPsec tunnels concurrently. The PCI 2.2 host bus lets designers add a second Ethernet PHY card or a wireless module without external glue logic, while the USB 2.0 port supports local configuration or USB-to-serial service interfaces. The 388-PBGA package is industrial-temp qualified, allowing deployment inside unventilated control cabinets where ambient temperatures reach 70 C.

🧩

Secure Networked Controller

The MCF5480CVR166's integrated encryption accelerator handles AES, DES, 3DES, SHA-1, and MD5 in hardware, which is essential for IEC 62443-compliant industrial nodes. Free CPU cycles remain available for the application protocol stack because encryption is offloaded. The dual CAN 2.0B controllers connect directly to industrial sensor and actuator buses, and the MMU supports full Linux or MQX/RTOS deployments that need process isolation. With 166 MHz of CPU and hardware IPsec, the device can sustain several hundred VPN tunnels at line rate on a 100 Mbit/s uplink.

🏭

Factory Automation PLC

For PLC mainboards the MCF5480CVR166 brings deterministic interrupt latency plus the connectivity mix modern PLCs require: dual Ethernet for redundant ring topologies, dual CAN for sensor networks, and PCI for I/O expansion cards. The 166 MHz ColdFire V4E core has enough headroom to run ladder-logic, motion control, and HMI rendering on a single chip. The ROMless boot from external flash lets manufacturers update firmware without re-spooling the MCU, which simplifies IEC 61131-3 programming and field upgrades. The 388-PBGA footprint and 27x27 mm body suit standard 4-layer PLC backplanes.

🌐

Building Automation Router

BACnet/IP, KNX/IP, and LonWorks gateways all need a 32-bit processor with multiple Ethernet ports and IPsec for site-to-site VPN. The MCF5480CVR166 fits this brief: dual 10/100 MACs drive two physical segments, the MMU runs a full IP stack with quality-of-service, and the hardware encryption engine secures BACnet traffic between buildings. Industrial temperature grade allows deployment in basement mechanical rooms without active cooling, while the small 27x27 mm PBGA keeps the BOM within tight building-automation cost targets.

🖥️

PCI-based Embedded Board

The MCF5480CVR166's PCI 2.2 host bus allows it to act as the main CPU on a CompactPCI or PMC carrier card, serving as a single-board computer for test, measurement, and industrial vision applications. The 32-bit/66 MHz PCI interface sustains high-bandwidth DMA to frame grabbers or DSP cards without taxing the CPU. Combined with USB 2.0, dual Ethernet, and DDR memory controller, the part supports a full embedded SBC reference design on a single chip. The 388-PBGA package fits standard 6U CompactPCI board dimensions with adequate thermal relief.

🔒

Secure VPN Gateway Appliance

Hardware-accelerated AES and 3DES plus a full MMU make the MCF5480CVR166 a strong choice for low-to-mid-range VPN gateway appliances targeting small business and branch-office deployments. The 166 MHz core and on-chip encryption engine sustain roughly 80 Mbit/s of IPsec throughput, sufficient for typical 100 Mbit/s uplinks. Dual Ethernet supports WAN/LAN separation, while PCI 2.2 lets OEMs add a crypto accelerator card or extra Ethernet ports. Industrial temperature grade suits telecom closet environments that are not climate-controlled.

💳

Point-of-Sale / Kiosk Controller

Although the MCF5480CVR166 is industrial-targeted, its mix of USB 2.0, dual Ethernet, PCI expansion, and a 166 MHz 32-bit core is also a fit for advanced POS terminals and self-service kiosks. The MMU runs embedded Linux or Windows CE with full driver stacks for touchscreens, printers, and payment terminals. The hardware encryption accelerator secures EMV card transactions, and the dual Ethernet ports separate payment traffic from the store LAN. The 388-PBGA is overkill for small kiosks but ideal for larger multi-station setups that need PCI-based expansion.

What is the operating frequency of the MCF5480CVR166?
The MCF5480CVR166 runs the ColdFire V4E core at up to 166 MHz internal frequency, delivering roughly 254 MIPS Dhrystone. According to the NXP MCF548x datasheet, the part can be ordered in speed grades ranging from 133 MHz up to 200 MHz across the family, with the CVR166 suffix indicating the 166 MHz commercial/industrial speed bin.
Is the MCF5480CVR166 recommended for new designs?
No - NXP has placed the MCF5480CVR166 into NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) status per the manufacturer's product page. Existing programs can still receive parts from distributors, but NXP will not introduce new revisions, and long-term continuity is not guaranteed. For new programs consider the MCF5485 family or Kinetis / i.MX alternatives.
What is the difference between MCF5480CVR166 and MCF5482CVR166?
Both parts share the same 388-ball PBGA footprint, the same ColdFire V4E core, and identical peripheral IP. The MCF5482 is a higher-speed grade (200 MHz) variant of the same silicon, so it is pin-compatible but provides about 20 percent more compute. The MCF5480CVR166 is the 166 MHz speed bin, intended for designs that do not need the 200 MHz throughput.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the MCF5480CVR166?
The closest drop-in replacement is the MCF5482CVR200, which shares the 388-PBGA package and V4E core but bumps frequency to 200 MHz. The MCF5485CVR200 is also drop-in with additional peripheral upgrades. All three are pin-compatible within the MCF548x PBGA footprint, so no PCB rework is required when migrating.
Where can I download the MCF5480CVR166 datasheet PDF?
The official MCF5480CVR166 datasheet is hosted on NXP's product documentation portal at nxp.com (MCF548x family reference manual). Third-party mirrors such as digchip.com and datasheets.com also host PDF copies, but the canonical source remains the NXP documentation site. DigiKey and Mouser link the same PDF from their product detail pages.
What is the package type of the MCF5480CVR166?
The MCF5480CVR166 is housed in a 388-ball Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) measuring 27x27 mm with a 1.27 mm ball pitch. This is the standard MCF548x family package and is pin-compatible across MCF5480, MCF5482, MCF5484, and MCF5485 speed and feature variants, enabling one PCB layout to support multiple family members.
Does the MCF5480CVR166 include an FPU?
Yes - the MCF5480CVR166 integrates a single-precision IEEE 754 hardware floating-point unit. Per the NXP datasheet, the FPU shares the same pipeline as the integer core and adds no instruction latency for integer-only code, while accelerating single-precision floating-point math needed by control loops and signal-processing kernels.
How much does the MCF5480CVR166 cost?
As of 2026-10-17, the MCF5480CVR166 lists at approximately $68.37 per unit at qty 1 (per Heisener distributor data) and falls to roughly $46.81 at qty 200+ per ICComponents. Pricing is volatile because the part is NRND; always request a current quote from an authorized distributor before placing volume orders.
Is the MCF5480CVR166 still in stock at distributors?
As of 2026-10-17, Heisener.com lists 6,400 pieces available with immediate shipping. DigiKey and Mouser show the part in stock in their cross-reference tooling. Stock will decline as NRND parts age, so designers should plan for last-time-buy notices or migrate to active members of the MCF548x family.
What is the lead time for the MCF5480CVR166?
Lead time for the MCF5480CVR166 is approximately 4-5 days from Heisener for in-stock inventory as of 2026-10-17. Authorized NXP distributors may have longer lead times due to factory allocation; the Mar 6 - Mar 11 estimated delivery window noted on Heisener reflects distributor warehouse stock rather than factory lead time.
Can the MCF5480CZP166 replace the MCF5480CVR166?
Yes - according to FindIC's parametric comparison tool, the MCF5480CZP166 is a complete replacement for the MCF5480CVR166, sharing the same main performance parameters, terminals, and 388-BGA package. The difference is the speed bin (ZP denotes the Z-grade) and minor ordering options; either can be used without PCB changes.
How does the MCF5480CVR166 compare to the MCF5474VR266?
The MCF5474VR266 belongs to the older MCF547x family running at 266 MHz on the V4e core, in a different package (MAPBGA). It is faster per-clock on some workloads but lacks the MCF548x encryption accelerator and updated peripheral mix. The MCF5480CVR166 is preferred for new designs needing security offload and modern connectivity.
What are the key specifications of MCF5480CVR166 that engineers should know?
The MCF5480CVR166 is a 32-bit ColdFire V4E microprocessor at 166 MHz with FPU, MMU, dual Ethernet, dual CAN, PCI 2.2, USB 2.0, hardware encryption, and ROMless boot from external memory, all in a 388-ball 27x27 mm PBGA. It is NRND per NXP and pin-compatible with MCF5482, MCF5484, and MCF5485 family variants.
What NXP equivalent should I use for new designs?
For new designs requiring an NXP 32-bit MCU with Ethernet, CAN, and security, NXP recommends migrating to the Kinetis or i.MX RT families. The closest NXP drop-in within ColdFire is the MCF5485CVR200 (active, 200 MHz, same 388-PBGA footprint, enhanced peripherals). Existing layouts can usually migrate without any PCB rework.
What cross-brand replacement exists for the MCF5480CVR166?
There is no true cross-brand drop-in replacement for the MCF5480CVR166 because the 388-ball ColdFire V4E PBGA is a proprietary NXP/Freescale footprint. Functional alternatives from other vendors include Atmel/Microchip's AT91SAM9260 and STMicro's STM32F207, but these require PCB redesign since the ball pattern and pinout differ.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Drop-in 200 MHz speed grade in same PBGA (vs. MCF5482CVR200)
  • Active-family successor available (vs. MCF5485CVR200)
  • Older MAPBGA family has different footprint (vs. MCF5474VR266)

Designhinweise

The 388-ball PBGA at 27x27 mm has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance typically around 15-20 C/W with a properly designed 4-layer PCB. Estimated: with 1.5 W typical dissipation in industrial-Ethernet use, junction rise is ~30 C above ambient. Provide a solid ground plane beneath the BGA and thermal vias connecting to inner copper layers. For sealed enclosures, derate to 70 C ambient max to keep Tj under 100 C.

The MCF548x PBGA uses 1.27 mm ball pitch with a full-array layout. Per NXP hardware design notes, use NSMD (non-solder-mask-defined) pads with a 0.55 mm solder mask opening for reliable assembly. Place 0402 0.1 uF decoupling capacitors on every supply ball within 25 mm trace length, and add one bulk 10 uF tantalum or ceramic capacitor per supply rail. Keep all high-speed signal traces (Ethernet, PCI, USB) at 50 ohm controlled impedance and length-match the PCI bus within 1 mm.

Do not assume the part is drop-in to MCF547x in the 256-MAPBGA package - the pinout differs and PCB rework is required. Always hold RESET low for at least 32 SCLK cycles after 3.3 V is stable; insufficient reset timing causes boot failures that look like dead silicon. Verify JTAG chain integrity before first power-up by reading the device ID - a faulty JTAG connection masks other boot issues. Finally, do not enable the encryption accelerator before initializing the bus clock - this corrupts the security key register and locks the part.

Route DDR memory traces on the top layer beneath the BGA escape region with matched 50 ohm impedance and length matching within 0.5 mm for clock pairs. Keep the USB D+/D- traces 90 ohm differential, length-matched within 0.15 mm, and away from PCI clocks. The Ethernet PHY MDI traces need 100 ohm differential with no more than two vias per pair. Place the 25 MHz main oscillator within 10 mm of the XTAL pins and guard it with a ground ring to minimize EMI.
