processor designed to address the
requirements of networking applications
such as smart grid home energy gateways,
data concentrators, wireless LAN access
points, wireless femto base stations and
industrial applications such as industrial
control and factory automation. It extends the
PowerQUICC II Pro family by balancing the
higher MIPS/MHz performance provided by
the e300 core with low power consumption at
a very aggressive price.

Core Complex
The MPC8308 processor incorporates the
e300c3 (603e core compatible) core at
266, 333 and 400 MHz with 1.92 DMIPS/
MHz. The core, built on Power Architecture

These architectural enhancements enable
more efficient operations to be executed in
parallel, resulting in a significant performance
improvement. The e300 core complex
also includes 16 KB each of L1 instruction
and data caches and on-chip memory
management units (MMUs) with dual integer
units and SP/DP FPU.
