Data Sheet
Block Diagram
Figure 2. PPC440SP Functional Block Diagram
The PPC440SP is a System on a chip, which uses IBM
CoreConnect
BusTM Architecture.
Implemented with the Crossbar option, the IBM CoreConnect buses provide:
128-bit Data, 64-bit Address PLB interfaces up to 166.66 MHz, 2.6 GB/s on both the Read and Write data
paths (10.6GB/sec total)
32-bit OPB interfaces up to 83.33MHz, 333 MB/s
Address Maps
The PPC440SP incorporates two address maps. The first is a fixed processor system memory address map. This
address map defines the possible contents of various processor accessible address regions. The second address
map identifies the system Device Configuration Registers (DCRs). DCRs are accessed by software running on the
PPC440SP processor through the use of mtdcr and mfdcr instructions.
