The MPC8323E PowerQUICC II Pro family includes the MPC8323E, MPC8323, MPC8321E and MPC8321. This cost-effective communications processor family meets the requirements of several small office/home office (SOHO), access, IP service and industrial control applications. It provides better CPU performance, additional functionality and faster interfaces than current PowerQUICC II processors while addressing important time to market, price, power consumption and board real estate requirementse300 core built on Power Architecture® technology with dual integer units enables more efficient operations to be conducted in parallel, resulting in significant performance improvementThe single-RISC QUICC Engine communications block offers a future-proof solution for next-generation designs by supporting programmable protocol termination and network interface termination to meet evolving protocol standardsSingle-platform architecture supports the convergence of IP packet networks and ATM networksDDR-1/DDR-2 memory controller—one 32-bit interface operating at up to 266 MHz supporting both DDR-1 and DDR-2Peripheral interfaces such as 32-bit, 66 MHz PCI, 16-bit, 66 MHz local bus interface and USB 2.0 (full/low speed)Security engine provides acceleration for control and data plane security protocolsHigh degree of software compatibility with previous-generation PowerQUICC processor-based designs for backward compatibility and ea
