Preliminary
Description
This document is primarily concerned with the PowerPC PC7457; however, unless
otherwise noted, all information here also applies to the PC7447. The PC7457 and
PC7447 are implementations of the PowerPC microprocessor family of reduced
instruction set computer (RISC) microprocessors. This document describes pertinent
electrical and physical characteristics of the PC7457.
The PC7457 is the fourth implementation of the fourth generation (G4) microproces-
sors from Freescale. The PC7457 implements the full PowerPC 32-bit architecture
and is targeted at networking and computing systems applications. The PC7457 con-
sists of a processor core, a 512 Kbyte L2, and an internal L3 tag and controller which
support a glueless backside L3 cache through a dedicated high-bandwidth interface.
The PC7447 is identical to the PC7457 except it does not support the L3 cache
interface.
The core is a high-performance superscalar design supporting a double-precision
floating-point unit and a SIMD multimedia unit. The memory storage subsystem sup-
ports the MPX bus interface to main memory and other system resources. The L3
interface supports 1, 2, or 4M bytes of external SRAM for L3 cache and/or private
memory data. For systems implementing 4M bytes of SRAM, a maximum of 2M bytes
may be used as cache; the remaining 2M bytes must be private memory.
Note that the PC7457 is a footprint-compatible, drop-in replacement in a PC7455
application if the core power supply is 1.3V.

3. Overview
This section summarizes features of the PC7457 implementation of the PowerPC architecture.
Major features of the PC7457 are as follows:
• High-performance, superscalar microprocessor
– As many as 4 instructions can be fetched from the instruction cache at a time
– As many as 3 instructions can be dispatched to the issue queues at a time
– As many as 12 instructions can be in the instruction queue (IQ)
– As many as 16 instructions can be at some stage of execution simultaneously
– Single-cycle execution for most instructions
– One instruction per clock cycle throughput for most instructions
– Seven-stage pipeline control
• Eleven independent execution units and three register files
– Branch processing unit (BPU) features static and dynamic branch prediction
128-entry (32-set, four-way set-associative) branch target instruction cache (BTIC),
a cache of branch instructions that have been encountered in branch/loop code
sequences. If a target instruction is in the BTIC, it is fetched into the instruction
queue a cycle sooner than it can be made available from the instruction cache.
Typically, a fetch that hits the BTIC provides the first four instructions in the target
stream
2048-entry branch history table (BHT) with two bits per entry for four levels of
prediction – not-taken, strongly not-taken, taken, and strongly taken
Up to three outstanding speculative branches
Branch instructions that
don’t
update the count register (CTR) or link register (LR)
are often removed from the instruction stream

multiplication and division instructions, and move to/from special-purpose register
instructions

Fully IEEE 754-1985-compliant FPU for both single- and double-precision
operations
Supports non-IEEE mode for time-critical operations

™
integer instructions, such
as vector add instructions (vaddsbs, vaddshs, and vaddsws, for example)
Vector integer unit 2 (VIU2) handles longer-latency AltiVec integer instructions, such
as vector multiply add instructions (vmhaddshs, vmhraddshs, and vmladduhm, for
example)
Vector floating-point unit (VFPU)
– Three-stage load/store unit (LSU)
Supports integer, floating-point, and vector instruction load/store traffic

cycle throughput
Four-cycle FPR load latency (single, double) with one-cycle throughput
No additional delay for misaligned access within double-word boundary
