MPC755
RISC Microprocessor
Hardware Specifications
This document is primarily concerned with the MPC755;
however, unless otherwise noted, all information here also
applies to the MPC745. The MPC755 and MPC745 are
reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessors
that implement the PowerPC™ instruction set architecture.
This document describes pertinent physical characteristics of
the MPC755. For information on specific MPC755 part
numbers covered by this or other specifications, see
Section 10, “Ordering Information.”
For functional
characteristics of the processor, refer to the
MPC750 RISC
Microprocessor Family User’s Manual.

Overview
The MPC755 is targeted for low-cost, low-power systems
and supports the following power management
features—doze, nap, sleep, and dynamic power
management. The MPC755 consists of a processor core and
an internal L2 tag combined with a dedicated L2 cache
interface and a 60x bus. The MPC745 is identical to the
MPC755 except it does not support the L2 cache interface.

Features
This section summarizes features of the MPC755 implementation of the PowerPC architecture. Major
features of the MPC755 are as follows:
• Branch processing unit

— One branch processed per cycle (plus resolving two speculations)
— Up to one speculative stream in execution, one additional speculative stream in fetch
— 512-entry branch history table (BHT) for dynamic prediction
— 64-entry, four-way set-associative branch target instruction cache (BTIC) for eliminating
branch delay slots
• Dispatch unit
— Full hardware detection of dependencies (resolved in the execution units)
— Dispatch two instructions to six independent units (system, branch, load/store, fixed-point
unit 1, fixed-point unit 2, floating-point)
