This document provides an overview of the MPC8308
PowerQUICC II Pro processor features, including a
block diagram showing the major functional
components. The MPC8308 is a cost-effective,
low-power, highly integrated host processor that
addresses the requirements of networ king applications
such as low-end printing, smart grid home energy
gateway, data concentrators, wireless LAN access
points, wireless femto base stations, and industrial
applications such as industrial control and factory
automation. The MPC8308 extends the
PowerQUICC II Pro family, adding high CPU
performance, additional functionality, and faster
interfaces while addressing the requirements related to
time-to-market, price, power consumption, and package
size.
