Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MPC850VR50BU is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

  • Core Processor Architecture: MPC8xx series
  • Bus Width: 32-Bit
  • Operating Frequency: 50MHz
  • Package Type: 256-PBGA (23x23)
  • I/O Voltage: 3.3V
  • Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 95°C (TA)
  • Mounting Configuration: Surface Mount
  • Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The MPC852TVR50A qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute, maintaining identical core specifications, processor architecture, clock speed, package geometry, and electrical characteristics. Both components share the same MPC8xx processor family designation and operate within the same thermal and voltage parameters.
