Freescale's highly integrated, cost-effective MPC5200B is well suited for networking, media, industrial control, and automotive applications. It delivers 760 MIPS with a Floating Point Unit (FPU), hardware Memory Management Unit (MMU) for fast task switching, is packed with I/O, and operates at only one watt. The MPC5200B serves the processing-intensive network media gateway, network access storage, set-top box, audio jukebox automotive, Internet access, industrial automation, image detection/analysis, and electronic/medical instrumentation markets. With its successful foundation in the automotive/telematics market via the mobileGT™ alliance and platforms, all markets can now enjoy extended temperature, automotive qualification, and life cycles typically demanded in that industry. A solid choice of Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and development boards with Board Support Packages (BSPs) provides users with a complete and flexible set of solutions.
Product Highlights
The MPC5200B is based on a 400 MHz MPC603e core with an integrated double precision Floating Point Unit (FPU) that is qualified at -40oC to +85oC. It incorporates a hardware-based memory management unit (MMU) for advanced memory protection schemes, fast task switching and broad RTOS support. The MPC5200B was designed for fast data throughput and processing. The integrated BestComm DMA controller offloads the main MPC603e core from I/O intensive data transfers. An integrated Double Data Rate (DDR) memory controller accelerates data access with an effective memory bus speed of 266 MHz. A high-speed PCI interface backed by the BestComm DMA controller and DDR memory support enables high-speed data transfers in and out of the MPC5200B. The MPC5200B is manufactured in 0.13 micron technology. Lead (Pb)-free RoHS compliant and Pb packages are available. There will also be a new 266 MHz @ -40oC to +105oC product grade for those applications with higher temperature requirements.

Freescale offers two different evaluation and development packages for the MPC5200B processor. The Lite5200B™ Evaluation Board (EVB) is a classic, stand-alone evaluation board. The Media5200™ Development Platform is a complete, self-contained system, which includes graphics and audio support and is suitable for system prototyping with little or no additional hardware. Depending on a design team's size and specific needs, they may consider using a combination of these platforms for their design efforts.
The Lite5200B EVB is available in two different kits. The CWMPCEVB5200 Lite5200B EVB kit contains a variety of different evaluation software from several vendors, including BSPs for ARC™ Precise/MQX, ATI Nucleus, Green Hills Software™ INTEGRITY®, Metrowerks® Linux® and OSEK Turbo®, MontaVista® Linux®, QSSL QNX®, and Wind River® VxWorks®. If you are using the ARC™ Precise/MQX implementation, you may order the CWMGTMQXDS Lite5200B EVB Kit with the ARC™ BSP pre-loaded on the board. The Media5200 Development Platform includes a 30-day evaluation copy of the QNX® SDK and Momentics® IDE along with a complete BSP for the Media5200. Voice recognition, text to speech, acoustic echo cancellation, wireless stacks, music file recognition and management software, development frameworks and other applications are readily available for these platforms.
