2 Features
The following list summarizes the key MPC860 features:
• Embedded single-issue, 32-bit core (implementing the Power Architecture technology) with
thirty-two 32-bit general-purpose registers (GPRs)
— The core performs branch prediction with conditional prefetch without conditional execution.
— 4- or 8-Kbyte data cache and 4- or 16-Kbyte instruction cache (see Table 1)
– 16-Kbyte instruction caches are four-way, set-associative with 256 sets; 4-Kbyte instruction
caches are two-way, set-associative with 128 sets.
– 8-Kbyte data caches are two-way, set-associative with 256 sets; 4-Kbyte data caches are
two-way, set-associative with 128 sets.
– Cache coherency for both instruction and data caches is maintained on 128-bit (4-word)
cache blocks.
– Caches are physically addressed, implement a least recently used (LRU) replacement
algorithm, and are lockable on a cache block basis.
— MMUs with 32-entry TLB, fully-associative instruction, and data TLBs
— MMUs support multiple page sizes of 4-, 16-, and 512-Kbytes, and 8-Mbytes; 16 virtual
address spaces and 16 protection groups

• 32 address lines
• Operates at up to 80 MHz

devices
— DRAM controller programmable to support most size and speed memory interfaces
— Four CAS lines, four WE lines, and one OE line

— Periodic interrupt timer (PIT)
— Low-power stop mode
— Clock synthesizer
— Decrementer, time base, and real-time clock (RTC)

• Interrupts
— Seven external interrupt request (IRQ) lines
— 12 port pins with interrupt capability
— 23 internal interrupt sources
— Programmable priority between SCCs
— Programmable highest priority request
• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet support, fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u® Standard (not available
when using ATM over UTOPIA interface)
• ATM support compliant with ATM forum UNI 4.0 specification
— Cell processing up to 50–70 Mbps at 50-MHz system clock
— Cell multiplexing/demultiplexing
— Support of AAL5 and AAL0 protocols on a per-VC basis. AAL0 support enables OAM and
software implementation of other protocols.
— ATM pace control (APC) scheduler, providing direct support for constant bit rate (CBR) and
unspecified bit rate (UBR) and providing control mechanisms enabling software support of
available bit rate (ABR)
— Physical interface support for UTOPIA (10/100-Mbps is not supported with this interface) and
byte-aligned serial (for example, T1/E1/ADSL)
— UTOPIA-mode ATM supports level-1 master with cell-level handshake, multi-PHY (up to four
physical layer devices), connection to 25-, 51-, or 155-Mbps framers, and UTOPIA/system
clock ratios of 1/2 or 1/3.
— Serial-mode ATM connection supports transmission convergence (TC) function for
T1/E1/ADSL lines, cell delineation, cell payload scrambling/descrambling, automatic
idle/unassigned cell insertion/stripping, header error control (HEC) generation, checking, and
statistics.
• Communications processor module (CPM)
— RISC communications processor (CP)

MODE, and RESTART TRANSMIT)
