Notes:

Complete peripheral support for MPC8349E derived integrated processors, or board support for other reference designs, might need to be sourced from manufacturers of the respective processors or reference boards.

Processor Overview

Freescale Semiconductor's MPC8349E 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 MPC8349E PowerQUICC II Pro Family integrates the enhanced e300 PowerPC 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.

The MPC8349E 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. MPC8349E 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. The MPC8349E integrates a e300 PowerPC core, and other features such as DDR memory, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, Dual PCI and Hi-Speed USB controllers. It includes 64 KB L1 cache (32KB D + 32KB I) with integrated parity checking.
