ICROPROCESSORS
The PowerPC 750 and PowerPC 740 microprocessors are low-power 32-bit implementations of the
PowerPC Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture. The PowerPC 750 and the PowerPC 740
microprocessors differ only in that the PowerPC 750 features a dedicated L2 cache interface with on-chip L2
tags. Both are software-compatible and bus-compatible with the PowerPC 603e™ and MPC7400 micro-
processors, and the PowerPC 740 is pin-compatible as well. PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors are fully
JTAG-compliant.
Superscalar Microprocessor
The PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors are superscalar, capable
of issuing three instructions per clock cycle into six independent
execution units:

Microprocessor
Two integer units
Load/store unit
Floating-point unit
System register unit
Branch processing unit
The ability to execute multiple instructions in parallel, to
pipeline instructions, and the use of simple instructions with
rapid execution times yields maximum efficiency and throughput
for PowerPC 750/740 systems.
Power Management
The PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors feature a low-
power 2.6-volt or 1.9-volt design with three power-
saving modes—doze, nap and sleep. These
user-programmable modes progressively reduce the
power drawn by the processor.
These low-power microprocessors offer dynamic
power management to selectively activate functional
units as they are needed by the executing instructions.
Both microprocessors also provide a thermal assist unit
and instruction cache throttling for software-
controllable thermal management.

Cache and MMU Support
The PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors have separate
32-Kbyte, physically-addressed instruction and data
caches. Both caches are eight-way set-associative.
The additional dedicated L2 cache interface with on-
chip L2 tags (shown at right) is provided only by the

Address
PowerPC 750 microprocessor. PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors contain separate memory management units
(MMUs) for instructions and data, supporting 4 Petabytes (2
52
) of virtual memory and 4 Gigabytes (2
32
) of physical
memory. Access privileges and memory protection are controlled on block or page granularities. Large, 128-entry
translation lookaside buffers (TLBs) provide efficient physical address translation and support for demand virtual-
memory management on both page- and variable-sized blocks.
Flexible Bus Interface
PowerPC 750/740 microprocessors have a 64-bit data bus and a 32-bit address bus. Support is included for burst, split
and pipelined transactions. The interface provides snooping for data cache coherency. Both microprocessors maintain
MEI coherency protocol in hardware, allowing access to system memory for additional caching bus masters, such as
DMA devices.
