The PHYTEC phyCORE-MPC565
The phyCORE-MPC565 module integrates the 32-bit Freescale
MPC565 PowerPC microcontroller on an advanced PCB layout. All
applicable controller signals extend to two 200-pin, high-density
Molex connectors. In addition to the on-chip Flash (1 MByte), the
phyCORE-MPC565 can be populated with up to 8 MByte of
asynchronous standard Flash and up to 16 MByte of synchronous
Burst-SRAM, addressable without wait states. Both memory device
types support of the fastest interface mode of the MPC565, thereby
guaranteeing maximized processing speed of externally stored code
and data. The internal and external Flash supports direct on-board
programming without additional programming voltages. A serial
EEPROM (up to 32 KByte) is available for storing operating
parameters. A Real-Time Clock with a calendar and alarm function
serves as a real-time reference.
The phyCORE-MPC565 is especially suited for applications requiring
processing of calculation-intensive algorithms. The MPC565's
integrated 64-bit Floating Point Unit (FPU) enables hardware-level
execution of elementary operations with single or double precision
floating point numbers. Other controller features supported by the
SBC module include three on-chip CAN 2.0B controllers; four
UARTs; two SPI and one J1850 interfaces; dual 10-bit A/D with
40 (56) channels; twelve 16-bit PWM systems and three Time
Processing Units (TPU) that process microcode independently of the
PowerPC core. The MPC565 provides enhanced operational flexibility
in that it can manage complex control and regulation tasks without
connection to any peripheral devices. Each TPU has 16 programmable
channels (pins) that route data to and from peripheral features,
enabling generation of extremely complex timings without burdening
user code. This flexibility allows implementation of the phyCORE-
MPC565 in a wide range of embedded applications.
