Freescale's Lite5200™ Evaluation Board is a classic, standalone evaluation board based on the MPC5200 PowerPC® 603 processor. The board makes the Ethernet, USB, PCI, ATA, serial, CAN, and GPIO resources of the MPC5200 readily available with complete SDRAM and Flash memory support. The I2C, I2S, SPI, J1850, AC97, and secondary port facilities, as well as all other resources of the MPC5200, are all accessible via an on-board connector and user-supplied transceivers. Various combinations of I/O may be traded off, depending on the user's specific needs since nearly all pins of the MPC5200 are re-programmable. Comprehensive schematics are included with the Lite5200 EVB.

Gateways, industrial controllers, instrumentation systems, video and data interpretation systems, telematics devices, hands-free phone modules, and other applications with or without automotive network connectivity or cellular/wireless interfaces are just a sample of target systems it may be used to develop.

The MPC5200 is based on a 400 MHz MPC603e PowerPC® core with an integrated double-precision Floating Point Unit (FPU) that is qualified at -40 to 85 degrees C. It incorporates a hardware-based memory management unit (MMU) for advanced memory protection schemes, fast task switching and broad RTOS support. The MPC5200 was designed for fast data throughput and processing. The integrated BestComm DMA controller offloads the main MPC603e core from I/O intensive data transfers. An integrated Double Data Rate (DDR) memory controller accelerates data access with an effective memory bus speed of 266 MHz. A high-speed PCI interface backed by the BestComm DMA controller and DDR memory support enables high-speed data transfers in and out of the MPC5200. The MPC5200 is manufactured in 0.13 micron technology. Lead (Pb)-free RoHS compliant and Pb packages are available.
