MPC8560CVT667JC

The MPC8560CVT667JC is Freescale/NXP’s PowerQUICC II Pro network/communications processor. It centers on a PowerPC e500 core clocked at 667 MHz (the CVT667JC variant) and is designed for telecom and high‑throughput networking equipment that require rich I/O on a single chip.
Key points:
- Architecture: PowerPC e500 core with on‑chip caches and memory controllers.
- I/O: high‑speed interfaces suitable for networking (e.g., Ethernet MACs, PCI/PCI‑X, and related interconnects) with DMA and security/acceleration features.
- Memory: supports DDR/SDRAM and flash, plus on‑chip L2 cache.
- Software: supports RTOS such as VxWorks and Linux.
- Applications: edge routers, switches, telecom access devices, and other network appliances.
Note: CVT667JC encodes the 667 MHz speed grade, with packaging/temperature specifics. For exact pinout, peripheral mix, and constraints, consult the current Freescale/NXP data sheet.
