PowerQUICC II Pro Processor
Hardware Specifications
This document provides an overview of the MPC8377E
PowerQUICC™ II Pro processor features, including a block
diagram showing the major functional components. The
device is a cost-effective, low-power, highly integrated host
processor that addresses the requirements of several printing
and imaging, consumer, and industrial applications,
including main CPUs and I/O processors in printing systems,
networking switches and line cards, wireless LANs
(WLANs), network access servers (NAS), VPN routers,
intelligent NIC, and industrial controllers. The MPC8377E
