Introduction
2.1 The MPC5604B microcontroller family
The MPC5604B represents a new generation of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the Power Architecture
®
.
It belongs to an expanding family of automotive-focused products targeted at addressing the next wave of
body electronics applications within the vehicle.
This document describes the features of the family and options available within the family members, and
highlights important electrical and physical characteristics of the device.
The advanced and cost-efficient host processor core of the family complies with the Power Architecture
embedded category. It operates at speeds of up to 64 MHz and offers high performance processing
optimized for low power consumption. It capitalizes on the available development infrastructure of current
Power Architecture devices and is supported with software drivers, operating systems and configuration
code to assist with users implementations. See Section 2.4, Developer support, for more information.
