8.1.2 Capacitor Position
The 970MP capacitors are rotated 90 degrees compared to the 970FX capacitor layout with respect to the
A01 corner. This occurred since the PLL moved 90 degrees with respect to A01 and due to the die size of the
970MP - wider in the x direction than the 970FX because of the additional core. This change will be an impor-
tant design consideration if the thermal solution is orientation dependant.
8.2 Description of Signal Changes
Most of the pins on the 970MP are the same as those found on the 970FX package, though the pin place-
ment is different. However, there are a number of pins that are duplicated, one per core, several new or modi-
fied pins, and a few deletions.
Table 8-2
lists the duplicated 970FX pins, one per core on the PowerPC 970MP.
Table 8-3
lists the new
PowerPC 970MP pins.
Table 8-4
lists 970FX pins not found on PowerPC 970MP.
