Processor

The MVME5500 supports the MPC7457 processor in the 483-pin CBGA package. The processor
consists of a processor core, an internal 256KB L2 and an internal L3 tag and controller, which
supports a backside L3 cache.

2.5

L3 Cache

The MVME5500 uses two 8Mb SDR synchronous SRAM devices for the processor’s L3 cache
data SRAM. This gives the processor a total of 2MB of L3 cache. These SRAM devices require a
3.3V core voltage. The MVME5500 provides 2.5V as the SRAM I/O voltage. The L3 bus operates
at 200 MHz.
