Freescale Semiconductor III-1
Part III
The Hardware Interface
Intended Audience
Part III is intended for system designers who need to understand how each PowerQUICC II signal works
and how those signals interact.
Contents
Part III describes external signals, clocking, memory control, and power management of the
PowerQUICC II.
It contains the following chapters:
• Chapter 6, “External Signals,” shows a functional pinout of the PowerQUICC II and describes the
PowerQUICC II signals.
• Chapter 7, “60x Signals,” describes signals on the 60x bus.
• Chapter 8, “The 60x Bus,” describes the operation of the bus used by PowerPC processors.
• Chapter 10, “Clocks and Power Control,” describes the clocking architecture of the
PowerQUICC II.
• Chapter 9, “PCI Bridge,” describes how the PCI bridge enables the PowerQUICC II to gluelessly
bridge PCI agents to a host processor that implements the PowerPC architecture and how it is
compliant with PCI Specification Revision 2.2.
• Chapter 11, “Memory Controller,” describes the memory controller, which controlling a maximum
of eight memory banks shared between a general-purpose chip-select machine (GPCM) and three
user-programmable machines (UPMs).
• Chapter 12, “Secondary (L2) Cache Support,” provides information about implementation and
configuration of a level-2 cache.
• Chapter 13, “IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port,” describes the dedicated user-accessible test access
port (TAP), which is fully compatible with the IEEE 1149.1 Standard Test Access Port and
Boundary Scan Architecture.
