QUICC

The QUICC (Quad Integrated Communications Controller) was a Motorola 68k -based microcontroller made by Freescale Semiconductor, targeted at the telecommunications market.^[1] It lends its name to a family of successor chips called PowerQUICC.^[2]

History

The original QUICC was the Motorola 68360 (MC68360), based on the MC68302. It was followed by the PowerPC-based PowerQUICC I, PowerQUICC II, PowerQUICC II and PowerQUICC III.^[2]

Applications

QUICC chips form the core of many Motorola Cellular Base stations.^{[citation needed]}

Many PowerQUICC II designs now have SATA controllers for SAN based applications.^{[citation needed]}

PowerQUICC CPUs/boards come with a Linux environment. Freescale also offers MQX (a RTOS) for PPC.^{[citation needed]}
