PowerPC 5000

The PowerPC 5000 family is a series of PowerPC and Power ISA microprocessors from Freescale (previously Motorola) and STMicroelectronics designed for automotive and industrial microcontroller and system on a chip (SoC) use.

The MPC5000 family consists of two lines (51xx/52xx and 55xx/56xx) that really don't share a common heritage.

The MPC5200 family is based on the e300 core MGT5100 processor and is also a part of Freescale's mobileGT platform.

Focus is on automotive and industrial control systems, like robotics, power train and fuel injection.

The MPC56xx family are PowerPC e200 core based microcontrollers jointly developed by Freescale and STMicroelectronics.
