considerations, AC/DC electrical characteristics, and AC
timing specifications for revision A,B, and C of the MPC850
Family.
1Overview
The MPC850 is a versatile, one-chip integrated
microprocessor and peripheral combination that can be used
in a variety of controller applications, excelling particularly
in communications and networking products. The MPC850,
which includes support for Ethernet, is specifically designed
for cost-sensitive, remote-access, and telecommunications
applications. It is provides functions similar to the MPC860,
with system enhancements such as universal serial bus
(USB) support and a larger (8-Kbyte) dual-port RAM.
In addition to a high-performance embedded MPC8xx core,
the MPC850 integrates system functions, s uch as a versatile
memory controller and a communications pr ocessor module
(CPM) that incorporates a specialized, independent RISC
communications processor (referred to as the CP). This
separate processor off-loads peripheral tasks from the
embedded MPC8xx core.
The CPM of the MPC850 supports up to seven serial channels, as follows:
•One or two serial communications controllers (SCCs). The SCCs support Ethernet, A T M
(MPC850SR and MPC850DSL), HDLC and a number of other protocols, along with a transparent
mode of operation.
•One USB channel
•Two serial management controllers (SMCs)

•One I
C port
•One serial peripheral interface (SPI).

Functional operating conditions are provided with the DC electrical specifications in Table 5. Absolute maximum
ratings are stress ratings only; functional operation at the maxima is not guaranteed. Stress beyond those listed may
affect device reliability or cause permanent damage to the device.
CAUTION: All inputs that tolerate 5 V cannot be more than 2.5 V greater than the supply voltage. This restriction
applies to power-up and normal operation (that is, if the MPC850 is unpowered, voltage greater than 2.5 V must not
be applied to its inputs).

The MPC850, a high-frequency device in a BGA package, does not provide a guaranteed maximum ambient
temperature. Only maximum junction temperature is guaranteed. It is the responsibility of the user to consider power
dissipation and thermal management. Junction temperature ratings are the same regardless of frequency rating of
the device.

This device contains circuitry protecting against damage due to high-static voltage or electrical fields;
however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltages higher than
maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused
inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (for example, either GND or V
). Table 3 provides

the package thermal characteristics for the MPC850.
3 The MPC850 IBIS model must be used to accurately model the behavior of the Clkout output driver for the full and
half drive setting. Due to the nature of the Clkout output buffer, IOH and IOL for Clkout should be extracted from the
IBIS model at any output voltage level.

5.1Layout Practices
Each VCC pin on the MPC850 should be provided with a low-i mpedance path to the board’s supply. Each
GND pin should likewise be provided with a low-impedance path to ground. The power supply pins drive
distinct groups of logic on chip. The VCC power supply should be bypassed to ground using at least four
0.1 µF by-pass capacitors located as close as possible to the four sides of the package. The capacitor leads
and associated printed circuit traces connecting to chip VCC and GND should be kept to less than half an
inch per capacitor lead. A four-layer board is recommended, employing two inner layers as VCC and GND
planes.
All output pins on the MPC850 have fast rise and fall times. Printed circuit (PC) trace interconnection
length should be minimized in order to minimize undershoot and reflections caused by these fast output
switching times. This recommendation particula rly applies to the a ddres s and data busses. Maxim um PC
trace lengths of six inches are recommended. Capacitance calculations should consider all device loads as
well as parasitic capacitances due to the PC traces. Attention to proper PCB layout and bypassing becomes
especially critical in syst ems with higher capacit ive loads because th ese lo ads cr eate hi gher tran sient
currents in the V
and GND circuits. Pull up all unused inputs or signals that will be inputs during reset.
CC
Special care should be taken to minimize the noise levels on the PLL supply pins.
6Bus Signal Timing
Table 6 provides the bus operation timing for the MPC850 at 50 MHz, 66 MHz, and 80 MHz. Timing
information for other bus speeds can be interpolated by equation using the MPC850 Electrical
Specifications Spreadsheet found at http://www.mot.com/netcomm.
The maximum bus speed supported by the MPC850 is 50 MHz. Higher-speed parts must be operated in
half-speed bus mode (for example, an MPC850 used at 66 MHz must be configured for a 33 MHz bus).
The timing for the MPC850 bus shown assumes a 50-pF load. This timing can be derated by 1 ns per 10
pF . Derating calculations can also be performed using the MPC850 Electrical Specifications Spreadsheet.
The minima provided assume a 0 pF load, whereas maxima assume a 50pF load. For frequencies not marked on
the part, new bus timing must be calculated for all frequency-dependent AC parameters. Frequency-dependent AC
parameters are those with an entry in the FFactor column. AC parameters without an FFactor entry do not need to
be calculated and can be taken directly from the frequency column corresponding to the frequency marked on the
part. The following equations should be used in these calculations.
For a frequency F, the following equations should be applied to each one of the above parameters:
For minima:
FFACTOR x 1000

where:
D is the parameter value to the frequency required in ns
F is the operation frequency in MHz
D

50
CAP LOAD is the capacitance load on the signal in question.
FFACTOR is the one defined for each of the parameters in the table.
2
Phase and frequency jitter performance results are valid only if the input jitter is less than the prescribed value.
3
If the rate of change of the frequency of EXTAL is slow (i.e. it does not jump between the minimum and maximum
values in one cycle) or the frequency of the jitter is fast (i.e., it does not stay at an extreme value for a long time) then
the maximum allowed jitter on EXTAL can be up to 2%.
4
The timing for BR output is relevant when the MPC850 is selected to work with external bus arbiter. The timing for
BG
output is relevant when the MPC850 is selected to work with internal bus arbiter.
5
The setup times required for TA, TEA, and BI are relevant only when they are supplied by an external device (and
not when the memory controller or the PCMCIA interface drives them).

signal is asserted.
8
The D[0:31] and DP[0:3] input timings B20 and B21 refer to the falling edge of CLKOUT. This timing is valid only for
read accesses controlled by chip-selects controlled by the UPM in the memory controller, for data beats where DLT3
= 1 in the UPM RAM words. (This is only the case where data is latched on the falling edge of CLKOUT.
9
The timing B30 refers to CS when ACS = '00' and to WE[0:3] when CSNT = '0'.
10
The signal UPWAIT is considered asynchronous to CLKOUT and synchronized internally. The timings specified in
B37 and B38 are specified to enable the freeze of the UPM output signals.
11
The AS signal is considered asynchronous to CLKOUT.
