MPC8544E Overview
This section provides a high-level overview of MPC8544E
features. Figure 1 shows the major functional units within
the device.
1.1
Key Features
The following list provides an overview of the device feature
set:
• High-performance, 32-bit core enhanced by
resources for embedded cores defined by the Power
ISA, and built on Power Architecture® technology:
— 32-Kbyte L1 instruction cache and 32-Kbyte L1
data cache with parity protection. Caches can be
locked entirely or on a per-line basis, with
separate locking for instructions and data.
— Signal-processing engine (SPE) APU (auxiliary
processing unit). Provides an extensive
instruction set for vector (64-bit) integer and
fractional operations. These instructions use both
the upper and lower words of the 64-bit GPRs as
they are defined by the SPE APU.
Freescale reserves the right to change the detail specifications as may be required
to permit improvements in the design of its products.

that this device implements more specifically. An understanding of these differences can be critical to
ensure proper operations.

– I/O devices access SRAM regions by marking transactions as snoopable (global).

smaller-than-cache-line accesses.

For LBIU, tCLOCK references LCLK.
For PCI, tCLOCK references PCI_CLK or SYSCLK.
2. Please note that with the PCI overshoot allowed (as specified above), the device
does not fully comply with the maximum AC ratings and device protection
guideline outlined in Section 4.2.2.3 of the PCI 2.2 Local Bus Specifications.
Figure 2. Overshoot/Undershoot Voltage for GVDD/OVDD/LVDD/BVDD/TVDD
The core voltage must always be provided at nominal 1.0 V (see Table 2 for actual recommended core
voltage). Voltage to the processor interface I/Os are provided through separate sets of supply pins and must
be provided at the voltages shown in Table 2. The input voltage threshold scales with respect to the
associated I/O supply voltage. OVDD and LVDD based receivers are simple CMOS I/O circuits and satisfy
appropriate LVCMOS type specifications. The DDR2 SDRAM interface uses a single-ended differential
receiver referenced the externally supplied MVREF signal (nominally set to GVDD/2) as is appropriate for
the SSTL2 electrical signaling standard.

2. The drive strength of the PCI interface is determined by the setting of the PCI_GNT1 signal at reset.
2.2
Power Sequencing
The device requires its power rails to be applied in specific sequence in order to ensure proper device
operation. These requirements are as follows for power up:
1. VDD, AVDD_n, BVDD, LVDD, SVDD, OVDD, TVDD, XVDD
2. GVDD
Note that all supplies must be at their stable values within 50 ms.
Items on the same line have no ordering requirement with respect to one another. Items on separate lines
must be ordered sequentially such that voltage rails on a previous step must reach 90% of their value before
the voltage rails on the current step reach 10% of theirs.
In order to guarantee MCKE low during power-up, the above sequencing for GVDD is required. If there is
no concern about any of the DDR signals being in an indeterminate state during power up, then the
sequencing for GVDD is not required.
From a system standpoint, if any of the I/O power supplies ramp prior to the VDD core supply, the I/Os
associated with that I/O supply may drive a logic one or zero during power-up, and extra current may be
drawn by the device.

Notes:
1. These values specify the power consumption at nominal voltage and apply to all valid processor bus frequencies and
configurations. The values do not include power dissipation for I/O supplies.
2. Typical power is an average value measured at the nominal recommended core voltage (VDD) and 65°C junction temperature
(see Table 2) while running the Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark.
3. Thermal power is the average power measured at nominal core voltage (VDD) and maximum operating junction temperature
(see Table 2) while running the Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark.
4. Maximum power is the maximum power measured at nominal core voltage (VDD) and maximum operating junction
temperature (see Table 2) while running a smoke test which includes an entirely L1-cache-resident, contrived sequence of
instructions which keep the execution unit maximally busy.

Notes:
1. Caution: The CCB clock to SYSCLK ratio and e500 core to CCB clock ratio settings must be chosen such that the resulting
SYSCLK frequency, e500 (core) frequency, and CCB clock frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum
operating frequencies. Refer to Section 19.2, “CCB/SYSCLK PLL Ratio,” and Section 19.3, “e500 Core PLL Ratio,” for ratio
settings.
2. Rise and fall times for SYSCLK are measured at 0.6 and 2.7 V.
3. This represents the total input jitter—short- and long-term.
4. The SYSCLK driver’s closed loop jitter bandwidth should be
