MPC8240 Integrated Processor Overview
– MIV signal: Marks valid address and data bus cycles on the memory bus.
– Error injection/capture on data path
– IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG)/test interface
•
Processor core
— High-performance, superscalar processor core
— Integer unit (IU), floating-point unit (FPU) (software enabled or disabled),
load/store unit (LSU), system register unit (SRU), and a branch processing unit
(BPU)
— 16-Kbyte instruction cache
— 16-Kbyte data cache
— Lockable L1 cache—entire cache or on a per-way basis
1.1.2 MPC8240 Integrated Processor Applications
The MPC8240 can be used for control processing in applications such as routers, switches,
multi-channel modems, network storage, image display systems, enterprise I/O processor,
Internet access device (IAD), disk controller for RAID systems, and copier/printer board
control. Figure 1-2 shows the MPC8240 in the role of host processor.
