Processor Core and Cache Memory Complex

The QorIQ P4040 has four high-performance 32-bit Power Architecture Book E-compliant
e500mc cores. Each e500mc is a superscalar dual issue processor that supports out-of-order
execution and in-order completion, thus making it perform better than other RISC and CISC
architectures.

Features of e500mc

36 bit physical addressing

512-entry 4-Kbyte pages

3 Integer units (2 simple, 1 complex)

1.5GHz at 1.0V

64-Byte cache line size

L1 caches

User, Supervisor, and Hypervisor instruction level privileges

APU, classic double precision floating point unit

128-Kb private L2 cache running at the same frequency of CPU

2-Mbyte of shared L3 CoreNet platform cache (CPC)

Integrated Memory Controller

The P4040 consists of two DDR controllers that support DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM. It can
support a maximum of 64GByte of main memory. It is capable of ECC, detects and corrects all
single bit errors, double-bit and within a nibble errors. The DDR controller is capable of self-
refresh mode (for compliant DDR SDRAM DIMMs) and an initialization bypass during system
power-on after an abnormal shutdown for use by designers in preventing re-initialization.
