Processor and Cache Module
DESCRIPTION
The Processor and Cache Module (PCM) is a 17 x 17 pin grid
array (PGA) circuit assembly which combines a PowerPCt
microprocessor and SRAM components into a CPU subsys-
tem. The PCM provides a standard mechanical, electrical, and
functional interface which can be socketed on a computer sys-
tem board and allows many combinations of processors and
optional components to be easily interchanged. This docu-
ment describes the general characteristics for a module con-
sisting of a single PowerPCt microprocessor and two SRAM
devices for L2 cache. The PCM packaging and PGA signal
definition also accomodates single processors without SRAM,
and multiple processors.
The PCM consists of an epoxy–glass (FR4) substrate which
adapts a processor in a ceramic ball grid array (CBGA) pac-
kage with 50 mil spacing to a 288–pin PGA with 100 mil spac-
ing that can be easily socketed and hence, easily upgraded.
The FR4 substrate can be extended beyond the area of the 17
x 17 pin grid array to provide an interconnect area for SRAM
components configured as closely coupled L2 cache. The
resulting PCM provides numerous flexible configurations of
processor and cache for various price/performance system
designs.

2. PINOUT LISTING
Table 1 provides the pinout listing for the 17 x 17 PGA PCM. This pinout is the superset of all 17 x 17 PCMs and should be followed for
maximum interchangeability between modules; however, particular implementations may not connect all signals between the PGA
pins and the PowerPC microprocessor. See the individual part number specifications for specific pinouts by part number.

1. Not recommended for new designs.
2. These are test signals for factory use only and must be pulled up to Vdd for normal machine operation.
3. OVdd inputs supply power to the I/O drivers and Vdd inputs supply power to the processor core.
4. TC2 defined for PowerPC 604™–class processors only.
5. These signals are undefined and must be left disconnected.
Many of the PCM signals have the same definition and timing as that of the attached processor. The actual signals present vary
depending upon the type of the PowerPC microprocessor used; refer to the corresponding processor hardware specifications for
details.
The PCM implements several signals that are not part of the PowerPC 60x bus specification, nor of any particular PowerPC proces-
sor. These pins are unique to the PCM and are used to set operational parameters or indicate the features the PCM provides. Table 2
describes the functions of the signals provided for identification or configuration of the PCM.
