AMC131 Functional Blocks
MPC8641D Dual-Core PowerPC Processor
The MPC8641D provides a dual-core architecture that delivers high bandwidth and advanced
processing speed while addressing the power and heat constraints in an AMC form factor.
The MPC8641D integrates two PowerPC e600 processor cores that support high-speed
interconnect technology to balance processor performance with I/O system throughput. The
two e600 cores operate at 1.0 GHz, 1.25 GHz, 1.33 GHz, or 1.5 GHz. Each core has its own
ECC protected 1 MB backside L2 cache. The AMC131 supports 1.0 GHz, 1.25 GHz, 1.33 GHz,
or 1.5 GHz single- or dual-processor cores. Contact your PT sales representative for more
information about these options.
The AMC131 design ensures that each PowerPC e600 processor has access to every
resource on the module. Allocating management of multiple resources to the two processors
requires several components. These components include:
•
The IIC1 controller
•
A common negotiating process
The IIC1 controller provides a communication mechanism that does not rely on any software
managed resource.
The common negotiation process results in mutually exclusive management of a resource by a
designated CPU. Resource management is accomplished by eight custom semaphore
registers. For more information about these registers, see
