Nexus IEEE-ISTO 5001, Class-3 multi-core debug-capabilities; eTPU (enhanced-time processor unit) for high level "C" programmability; Fast (1.25 µs 5-V, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter ; 2 MB on-chip non-volatile flash memory that can be read and written simultaneously (including EEPROM emulation); Compatibility with existing systems; Integration of complex signal processing algorithms with SIMD (single instruction multiple data) and DSP instructions; and High-bandwidth internal communications. Freescale Semiconductor
MPC5554 32-bit embedded controller, based on PowerPC architecture, extends Freescale
Semiconductor's MPC5500 family to the industrial market. MPC5554 offers system
performance up to five times higher than its MPC500 predecessors, meeting increasing
demands of automotive and industrial designs. It includes 2 MB of embedded flash
memory, enhanced timer systems, and a peripheral set tailored for automotive and
industrial applications. It integrates more functionality on-chip while meeting
application needs for increased system performance and complexity.
The controller leverages past engineering investments and existing PowerPC-architecture knowledge to create a solid migration path for users of the MPC500 family. Engineers knowledgeable about the PowerPC instruction-set architecture can move quickly to MPC5554 and future family products. A high degree of integration and flexible features reduce system costs. External tasks are integrated into the MCU, reducing the number of external analog- and digital-components.
Among the controller's benefits are:
