Integrated Host Processor with DDR, PCI, RapidIO® and 1G Ethernet

MPC8540 No Longer Manufactured
  • This page contains information on a product that is not recommended for new designs.

Addressing the needs for higher compute density and lower system cost, Our MPC8540 integrated host processor is designed to provide the highest level of performance and integration available today. The MPC8540 is Our first device utilizing the e500 core, is the industry's first RapidIO®-enabled processor, and provides dual gigabit ethernet controllers. Balancing processor performance with I/O system throughput, the MPC8540 is a powerful control element for network routers and switches, storage subsystems, network appliances, and print and imaging devices.
