Description
The PC7457 is implementations of the PowerPC
®
microprocessor family of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) micro-
processors. This document describes pertinent electrical and physical characteristics of the PC7457.
The PC7457 is the fourth implementation of the fourth generation (G4) microprocessors from Freescale. The PC7457
implements the full PowerPC 32-bit architecture and is targeted at networking and computing systems applications. The
PC7457 consists of a processor core, a 512 Kbyte L2, and an internal L3 tag and controller which support a glueless back-
side L3 cache through a dedicated high-bandwidth interface.
The core is a high-performance superscalar design supporting a double-precision floating-point unit and a SIMD multime-
dia unit. The memory storage subsystem supports the MPX bus interface to main memory and other system resources.
The L3 interface supports 1, 2, or 4M bytes of external SRAM for L3 cache and/or private memory data. For systems imple-
menting 4M bytes of SRAM, a maximum of 2M bytes may be used as cache; the remaining 2M bytes must be private
memory.
Note that the PC7457 is a footprint-compatible, drop-in replacement in a PC7455 application if the core power supply is
1.3V.

Notes:
1. The L3 cache interface is not implemented on the PC7447.
2. The Castout Queue and Push Queue share resources such for a combined total of 10 entries.
The Castout Queue itself is limited to 9 entries, ensuring 1 entry will be available for a push.

3. Overview
This section summarizes features of the PC7457 implementation of the PowerPC architecture. Major
features of the PC7457 are as follows:
• High-performance, superscalar microprocessor
– As many as 4 instructions can be fetched from the instruction cache at a time
– As many as 3 instructions can be dispatched to the issue queues at a time
– As many as 12 instructions can be in the instruction queue (IQ)
– As many as 16 instructions can be at some stage of execution simultaneously
– Single-cycle execution for most instructions
– One instruction per clock cycle throughput for most instructions
– Seven-stage pipeline control
• Eleven independent execution units and three register files
– Branch processing unit (BPU) features static and dynamic branch prediction
128-entry (32-set, four-way set-associative) branch target instruction cache (BTIC), a cache
of branch instructions that have been encountered in branch/loop code sequences. If a
target instruction is in the BTIC, it is fetched into the instruction queue a cycle sooner than it
can be made available from the instruction cache. Typically, a fetch that hits the BTIC
provides the first four instructions in the target stream
2048-entry branch history table (BHT) with two bits per entry for four levels of prediction –
not-taken, strongly not-taken, taken, and strongly taken
Up to three outstanding speculative branches
Branch instructions that
don’t
update the count register (CTR) or link register (LR) are often
removed from the instruction stream
