Technical Summary
MPC823e Mobile Computing Microprocessor
The MPC823e microprocessor is a versatile, one-chip integrated microprocessor and peripheral
combination that can be used in a variety of electronic products. It particularly excels in low-power,
portable, image capture and personal communication products. It is a version of the MPC823
microprocessor that provides enhanced performance with larger data and instruction caches. Like
the MPC823, it has a universal serial bus (USB) interface and video display controller, as well as
the existing LCD controller of the MPC823 (Rev A) device.
The MPC823e microprocessor integrates a high-performance embedded PowerPC

core with a
communication processor module that uses a specialized RISC processor for imaging and
communication. The communication processor module can perform embedded signal processing
functions for image compression and decompression. It also supports seven serial channels鈥攖wo
serial communication controllers, two serial management controllers, one I

port, one USB
channel, and one serial peripheral interface.
This two-processor architecture consumes power more ef鏗乧iently than traditional architectures
because the communication processor module frees the core from peripheral tasks like imaging and
communication.
