Part I Overview
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, such as a versatile memory controller and a communications processor 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,
ATM (MPC850SAR), 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).
