MPC5644A (Andorra) Power Architecture

Target Applications

Industrial and Automotive 1-4 Cylinder gasoline direct injection engines, entry-level diesel engines and entry level transmissions.

Course Description

A 3-day workshop that covers e200 Power Architecture core, including system exceptions & interrupt handling. It covers the Core memory management unit (MMU) operation and programming. Memory protection, cross-bar switch and all internal/external buses are covered. Also included are details of all on-chip peripherals with emphasis on device timers such as the enhance Time Processor Unit (eTPU), enhanced Modular I/O System (eMIOS).

It includes coverage of the enhanced Queued Analogue-to-Digital Converter (eQADC) operation  and programming along with Decimation filters and Reaction Unit operation. It also covers all serial communication interfaces: CAN Bus (FlexCANs), DSPIs, ESCIs (LINFlex) with software examples and optional hands-on labs.

After completing the workshop, the participant will understand the basic concepts of the Power Architecture and all major functional blocks of the MPC5644A device. With hands-on examples and development tools, the participant will be able to program on-chip peripherals and optimize system design.

Who Should Attend

Software and system engineers who need to come up to speed quickly on how to design with this architecture.

Participants will be provided: A hard copy of the workshop notes, lab book and textbook. A CDROM of all the lab experiments and demo version of the development tools is also provided.

Prerequisite

Knowledge/experience of some microprocessor/microcontroller is highly recommended.
