MPC8309-SOM

MPC8309-SOM is a system-on-module (SOM) based on the Freescale QorIQ™ T1024/T1023 processor that is highly integrated, providing an easy-to-use solution for design requirements that demands higher computing power, greater scalability, connectivity, and secure communications. Its salient features include a high-performance e500 core, an external register bus interface, and an efficient security engine.

The MPC8309-SOM is a powerful embedded processor suitable for many applications, including industrial automation, smart grid, diagnostic equipment, and medical devices. Its capabilities provide a cost-effective overall solution, particularly when used with industrial grade components. Additionally, its memory-mapped I/O infrastructure provid=es a secure and reliable platform for remote communication solutions.

The MPC8309-SOM is specifically designed to support the advanced Freescale 8309/T1024 e500-based processor. The T1024/T1023 provides an 800 MHz power-efficient and cost-effective performance for mission-critical embedded requirements. Its e500 core is capable of up to 2000 CoreMarks/MHz (2C-4T).

The MPC8309-SOM can also be used to leverage the on-chip support for peripheral interface, including CANBus, SATA, USB, PCIe, Ethernet, and PCIe bridge solutions. Low power consumption is possible due to the combination of Freescale\'s advanced e500 core and I/O support. Additionally, the SOM is based on an open-standard hardware and software stack, providing support for solid debug, programming, and development tools.

The working principle of the MPC8309-SOM is fairly straightforward. The on-chip 8309/T1024 e500 core essentially acts as the main processing component of the SOM, executing instructions and performing calculations. The external register bus interface is then used for communication between the microcontroller and other peripheral devices, negotiating and transferring data. This ensures efficient performance and increases the reliability of the system.

Finally, the SOM also features the standard 64-bit bus architecture, allowing for up to 4GB of DDR2 DRAM, 128 MB of SRAM, and up to 32GB of NAND flash for storage. In terms of connectivity, the SOM supports 3 Ethernet ports, 1 SATA, USB 2.0/3.0, and PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0.

The MPC8309-SOM is an efficient and cost-effective solution for embedded applications requiring high processing power and scalability. Its support for Freescale\'s advanced 8309/T1024 e500 core, Ethernet, PCIe, CANBus, SATA, and USB interfaces offers the greatest flexibility and makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
