1.2 Processor Core Overview
The MPC8240 contains an embedded version of the PowerPC 603e™ processor. For
detailed information regarding the processor refer to the following:
•
MPC603e & EC603e User’s Manual (Those chapters that describe the
programming model, cache model, memory management model, exception model,
and instruction timing)
•
PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments for 32-Bit
Microprocessors
This section is an overview of the processor core, provides a block diagram showing the
major functional units, and describes briefly how those units interact. For more
information, refer to Chapter 2, “PowerPC Processor Core.”
The processor core is a low-power implementation of the PowerPC microprocessor family
of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors. The processor core
implements the 32-bit portion of the PowerPC architecture, which provides 32-bit effective
addresses, integer data types of 8, 16, and 32 bits, and floating-point data types of 32 and
64 bits.
