Description
The TSPC750A and TSPC740A microprocessor (after named 750A/740A) are low-
power implementations of the PowerPC Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)
architecture.
The 750A/740A microprocessors designs are superscalar, capable of issuing three
instructions per clock cycle into six independent execution units
The 740A/750A microprocessors uses a 2,6/3,3-volts CMOS process technology and
maintains full interface compatibility with TTL devices.
The 750A/740A provides four software controllable power-saving modes and a ther-
mal assist unit management.
The 750A/740A microprocessors have separate 32K byte, physically-addressed
instruction and data caches and differ only in that the 750A features a dedicated L2
cache interface with on-chip L2 tags.
Both are software and bus-compatible with the PowerPC603 and PowerPC604 fami-
lies, and are fully JTAG compliant.
The TSPC740A microprocessor is pin compatible with the TSPC603e family.

Screening
This product is manufactured in full compliance with:
•
•
•
CBGA upscreenings based upon ATMEL-Grenoble standards
Full military temperature range (Tc = -55°C,+125°C)
industrial temperature range (Tc = -40°C, +110°C)
CI-CGA versions of TSPC740A and TSPC750A (planned)
The TSPC750A is targeted for low power systems and supports the following power manage-
ment features—doze, nap, sleep, and dynamic power management. The TSPC750A consists
of a processor core and an internal L2 Tag combined with a dedicated L2 cache interface and
a 60x bus.
