the MCF527x family of embedded controllers
with a menu of devices that combine higher
integration and lower cost options in addition
to delivering a new level of performance on
the V2 ColdFire® core with up to 159 MIPS
(Dhrystone 2.1) at 166 MHz.
The advanced MCF527x family members are
built upon the widely used peripheral mix
of the popular MCF5272 by adding more
connectivity options and encryption capability.
These highly integrated embedded
controllers also feature an enhanced
multiplier-accumulator (eMAC) unit and
large on-chip memory with 64 KB SRAM
and 8 KB or 16 KB configurable cache.
And because Freescale knows the
importance of low system cost, several
of the advanced MCF527x family members
feature a DDR SDRAM memory controller,
and offer a choice between MAPBGA and
QFP package versions.
MCF527x target applications include remote
monitoring, data security, voice-over-Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phones, health care-related
instrumentation, gaming equipment, Ethernet
switches, server appliances, point-of-sale
printers and home routers.
Connection with Protection
Today’s embedded applications demand
increased connectivity, requiring a higher
level of data protection, with security at
the node. The MCF527x family offers the
encryption option (DES, AES, MD5, SHA-1,
3DES, HMAC, RNG) in hardware, and data
can be encrypted from any interface on
the processor.

of current pricing trends in the memory space,
most of the MCF527x family members feature
a DDR SDRAM memory controller, which can
be quite appealing to those on tight budgets.
Potential cost savings can be realized with the
DDR SDRAM memory controller by allowing
users to attach up to 256 MB of DDR SDRAM
to the processor.
