Motorola MPC561/MPC562/MPC563/MPC564 RISC MCU Product Brief
This document is a product brief for the Motorola MPC561, MPC562, MPC563, and MPC564 RISC microcontrollers. These devices are members of the Motorola MPC500 family and feature a high-performance single-issue integer core compatible with the PowerPC instruction set architecture. Key capabilities include floating-point support, extensive system development features such as watchpoints and breakpoints, and four major power-saving modes including deep-sleep and power-down.
The microcontrollers offer flexible memory configurations, with options for 32-Kbyte static RAM (CALRAM) and up to 512-Kbyte flash memory on the MPC563 and MPC564 models. The devices support peripheral pin multiplexing (PPM) and include various integrated modules such as the MPC500 System Interface (USIU), Burst Buffer Controller (BBC), and Queued Analog-to-Digital Converter (QADC64E). Optional features include 56-MHz operation and code compression optimized for automotive applications.
