Product Overview
The PPC440GX-3CF667C is a high-performance 32-bit embedded RISC processor developed by IBM and produced by AMCC. Targeted at mid-to-high-end network switches, SAN storage controllers and industrial hubs, it runs at 667MHz with dual-issue pipeline and 256KB configurable L2 cache. Equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet, two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, TCP/IP offload engine, 64-bit DDR memory controller and 64-bit PCI-X 1.0 bus, this 552-pin Ceramic FC-BGA chip delivers stable low-latency performance for communication equipment.
Core Advantages
High-Throughput Network Acceleration
Dual Gigabit Ethernet with hardware checksum engine offloads packet processing to realize line-rate transmission.
Configurable L2 Cache SRAM
256KB memory can be dynamically allocated as high-speed cache or low-latency SRAM for real-time tasks.
High-Bandwidth Interconnection
64-bit PCI-X interface up to 133MHz + high-density DDR controller eliminate multi-layer routing bandwidth bottlenecks.
Efficient Superscalar Core
Dual-issue 7-stage pipeline executes two instructions per cycle with lower thermal output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is PPC440GX-3CF667C 100% original new?
A1: Yes, all stock are brand new factory-original microprocessors. We conduct visual inspection, barcode matching and surface marking verification for every batch. Parts are stored and shipped with anti-static ESD protection to protect FC-BGA pins.
Q2: What’s the function of the 256KB L2 cache?
A2: It acts as flexible memory accelerator. For Linux/VxWorks systems, it reduces external memory access latency. For real-time tasks, firmware can lock part of the cache as on-chip SRAM for zero-delay interrupt processing.
Q3: What do “3CF” and “667C” in part number mean?
A3: 3CF = silicon revision + 552-pin Ceramic FC-BGA package; 667 = fixed 667MHz core frequency; trailing C = commercial grade, operating temp 0℃ ~ +85℃.
Q4: How to get AMCC register manuals & bulk pricing?
A4: Fill in the Quick Inquiry form with your project parameters and required quantity. Our technical team will send official datasheets, reference designs and tiered price offers within 24 hours.
