MPC837X device is "Not recommended for new designs", please use the replacement families Power Architecture (T1013), Arm Architecture (LS1012, LS1023).

Today’s small-to-medium businesses and consumer applications are driving the need for highly integrated, cost-effective solutions that deliver high performance. The MPC8377E provides a high performance Power Architecture^® e300 core up to 800MHz with 32K I/D L1 cache, integrated x2 serial ATA and x2 PCI Express^® controllers that help to reduce overall BOM cost. The system-on-chip (SoC) also includes two Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controllers for network connectivity and a security engine for encryption algorithm offload. The MPC8377E, based in 90 nm process technology, provides high integration that simplifies board design and provides a cost-effective solution for applications such as multifunctional printers or IP-PBX systems.
