The versatile MPC8309 processor delivers up
to 835 DMIPS of processing power at less
than 1.6W and features 233 MHz QUICC
Engine technology for protocol offloading.
Freescale’s QUICC Engine technology
can support a wide range of Ethernet-
and fieldbus-based industrial networking
protocols, virtually eliminating the need for
an expensive FPGA/ASIC, thereby reducing
design complexity and system bill of material
(BOM) cost while leaving the CPU available for
application processing.

The TWR-MPC8309 processor module
supports multiple usage scenarios including
a stand-alone industrial development board,
a system-on-module (SoM) utilizing a single
right angle PCIe connector to interface to the
main board or as a rapid-prototyping Tower
System development platform. Two peripheral
modules have been developed specifically
for use with the TWR-MPC8309 processor
