Preface
The PowerPC 740 and PowerPC 750 are members of the PowerPC family of reduced instruction set com-
puter (RISC) microprocessors. The PPC740L and PPC750L microprocessors are the PID-8p implementa-
tions of the PowerPC 740 and PowerPC 750 in IBM CMOS 7S 0.20 µm copper technology. They are referred
to in the body of this document as “740“ and “750.”
Information in this document does not apply to implementations of the PowerPC 740 and PowerPC 750 in
other technologies, such as the PID-8t.
The information in this document is also specific to revision level dd3.2 of the (PID-8p) PPC740L and
PPC750L, and does not apply to previous revisions.
This document is generally written in terms of the 750. Unless otherwise noted, information that applies to the
750 also applies to the 740. Exceptions are detailed. The 740 die is identical to the 750 die, but the 740 pack-
age and pinout are different, in that the 740 does not pin out the L2 interface.
The 740 uses the same die as the 750, but the 740 does not pin out the L2 cache interface.
New Features for dd3.x
Selectable I/O voltages on 60X bus and L2 bus. See Table , “Recommended Operating Conditions,” on
page 9. Older revs must leave these pins “no connect” or “tied high” for 3.3v I/Os. Ac timings are the
same for all I/O voltages modes unless otherwise noted.
60X bus to core frequency now also supports the 10x ratio. See Table , “PLL Configuration,” on page 36.
Extra output hold on the 60x bus by L2_TSTCLK pin tied low is no longer available. The L2_TSTCLK pin
must now be tied to OVDD for normal operation. See Table , “60X Bus Output AC Timing Specifications for
the 7501,” on page 16.

Note:
1. The temperature is the junction temperature of the die. The thermal assist unit's (TAU) raw output does not indicate an absolute temperature, but it
must be interpreted by software to derive the absolute junction temperature. For information on how to use and calibrate the TAU, contact
ppcsupp@us.ibm.com. This specification reflects the temperature span supported by the design.
2. The comparator settling time value must be converted into the number of CPU clocks that need to be written into the THRM3 SPR. For parts with
nominal operating frequencies (speed sort) above 266 MHz, the settling time = 20 µs× (266/nominal frequency). For example: for 500 MHz parts,
settling time = 20 µs× (266/500) = 10.6 µs. It is recommended that the maximum value be set in THRM3 under all conditions.
3. This value is guaranteed by design and is not tested.

this table are guaranteed by design and characterization, and are not tested.
3. Capacitance values are guaranteed by design and characterization, and are not tested.
4. SYSCLK input high and low voltage: I/O timings are measured using a “rail to rail” SYSCLK; I/O timing may be less favorable if SYSCLK does not travel
from GND to OVDD.

AC Electrical Characteristics
This section provides the AC electrical characteristics for the 750. After fabrication, parts are sorted by maxi-
mum processor core frequency as shown in the Section “Clock AC Specifications,” on page 13, and tested for
conformance to the AC specifications for that frequency. Parts are sold by maximum processor core fre-
quency, subject to the specified application conditions; see Section “Ordering Information,” on page 46.
Unless otherwise noted, all timings apply for all I/O supply voltages.

Note:
1. Caution: The SYSCLK frequency and the PLL_CFG[0:3] settings must be chosen such that the resulting SYSCLK (bus) frequency, and CPU (core)
frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating frequencies. Refer to the PLL_CFG[0:3] signal description in Section “PLL
Configuration,” on page 36 for valid PLL_CFG[0:3] settings. Bus operation above 100 MHz is possible, but requires careful timing analysis. Contact
IBM for details.
2. Rise and fall times for the SYSCLK input are measured from 0.5 to 1.5V.
3. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not tested.
4. The total input jitter (short term and long term combined) must be under ±150ps. Contact IBM for operation with Spread Spectrum clocks or clocks
with more than ±150 ps total jitter.
5. Relock timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not tested. PLL-relock time is the maximum amount of time required for PLL lock
after a stable VDD and SYSCLK are reached during the power-on reset sequence. This specification also applies when the PLL has been disabled and
subsequently re-enabled during sleep mode. Also note that HRESET must be held asserted for a minimum of 255 bus clocks after the PLL-relock time

L2 Clock AC Specifications
The following table provides the L2CLK output AC timing specifications for the 750 as defined in Figure 6.
L2CLK Output AC Timing Specifications
See Table “Recommended Operating Conditions,” on page 9, for operating conditions.
Num Characteristic Min Max Unit Notes
L2CLK frequency 80 250 MHz 1, 5
22 L2CLK cycle time 4.0 12.5 ns
23 L2CLK duty cycle 50 % 2
Internal DLL-relock time 640 L2CLK 4
L2CLK jitter ±150 ps 3, 6
L2CLK skew 0 ps 7
Note:
1. L2CLK outputs are L2CLKOUTA, L2CLKOUTB and L2SYNC_OUT pins. The internal design supports higher L2CLK frequencies. Consult IBM Pow-
erPC Application Engineering (ppcsupp@us.ibm.com) before operating the L2 SRAMs above 250 MHz. The L2CLK frequency to core frequency set-
tings must be chosen such that the resulting L2CLK frequency and core frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum operating
frequencies. L2CLKOUTA and L2CLKOUTB must have equal loading.
2. The nominal duty cycle of the L2CLK is 50% measured at midpoint voltage.
3. The major component of L2CLK jitter is passed through from SYSCLK. While SYSCLK jitter is less then ±150 ps, L2CLK jitter is also less than ±150 ps.
SYSCLK jitter in excess of ±150 ps causes L2CLK jitter to exceed ±150 ps.
4. The DLL re-lock time is specified in terms of L2CLKs. The number in the table must be multiplied by the period of L2CLK to compute the actual time
duration in nanoseconds. Re-lock timing is guaranteed by design and characterization, and is not tested.
5. The L2CR [L2SL] bit should be set for L2CLK frequencies less than 110MHz.
6. Guaranteed by design and characterization, not tested.
7. Skew between the L2 output clocks is included in the other timing specs.

System Design Information
PLL Configuration
The 750 PLL is configured by the PLL_CFG[0:3] signals. For a given SYSCLK (bus) frequency, the PLL con-
figuration signals set the internal CPU and VCO frequency of operation.

Note:

2. SYSCLK min is limited by the lowest frequency that manufacturing will support, see Section , “Clock AC Specifications,” for valid SYSCLK and VCO
frequencies.
3. In PLL-bypass mode, the SYSCLK input signal clocks the internal processor directly, the PLL is disabled, and the bus mode is set for 1:1 mode
operation. This mode is intended for factory use only. Note: The AC timing specifications given in the document do not apply in PLL-bypass mode.
4. In Clock-off mode, no clocking occurs inside the 750 regardless of the SYSCLK input.
5. The VCO to core clock ratio is 2x for 740/750. This simplifies clock frequency calculations so the user can disregard the VCO frequency. The VCO will
operate correctly when the core clock is within specification.
6. Not tested.

PLL Power Supply Filtering
The AVDD and L2AVdd are power signals provided on the 750 to provide power to the clock generation phase-
locked loop and L2 cache delay-locked loop respectively. To ensure stability of the internal clock, the power
supplied to the AVDD input signal should be filtered using a circuit similar to the one shown in Figure 18. The
circuit should be placed as close as possible to the AVDD pin to ensure it filters out as much noise as possible.
For dd3.2, AVdd is filtered on the module from Vdd for the 750 only and can be connected or not, at the
designer’s convenience. The 740 requires AVdd to be supplied as usual.
Decoupling Recommendations
Due to the dynamic power management of the 750, which features large address and data buses, as well as
high operating frequencies, the 750 can generate transient power surges and high frequency noise in its
power supply, especially while driving large capacitive loads. This noise must be prevented from reaching
other components in the 750 system, and the 750 itself requires a clean, tightly regulated source of power.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the system designer place at least one decoupling capacitor with
a low ESR (effective series resistance) rating at each VDD and OVDD pin (and L2OVDD for the 360 CBGA) of the
750. It is also recommended that these decoupling capacitors receive their power from separate VDD, OVDD
and GND power planes in the PCB, utilizing short traces to minimize inductance.
These capacitors should range in value from 220pF to 10µF to provide both high- and low-frequency filtering,
and should be placed as close as possible to their associated VDD or OVDD pins. Suggested values for the VDD
pins 220pF (ceramic), 0.01µF (ceramic), and 0.1µf (ceramic). Suggested values for the OVDD pins 0.01µF
(ceramic), 0.1µf (ceramic), and 10µF (tantalum). Only SMT (surface-mount technology) capacitors should be
used to minimize lead inductance.
In addition, it is recommended that there be several bulk storage capacitors distributed around the PCB, feed-
ing the VDD and OVDD planes, to enable quick recharging of the smaller chip capacitors. These bulk capacitors
should have a low ESR (equivalent series resistance) rating to ensure the quick response time necessary.
They should also be connected to the power and ground planes through two vias to minimize inductance.
Suggested bulk capacitors – 100µF (AVX TPS tantalum) or 330µF (AVX TPS tantalum).
Connection Recommendations
To ensure reliable operation, it is highly recommended to connect unused inputs to an appropriate signal
level. Unused active low inputs should be tied to VDD. Unused active high inputs should be connected to GND.
All NC (no-connect) signals must remain unconnected.
Power and ground connections must be made to all external VDD, OVDD, and GND, pins of the 750.

External clock routing should ensure that the rising edge of the L2 clock is coincident at the CLK input of all
SRAMs and at the L2SYNC_IN input of the 750. The L2CLKOUTA network could be used only, or the
L2CLKOUTB network could also be used depending on the loading, frequency, and number of SRAMs.
Output Buffer DC Impedance
The 750 60x and L2 I/O drivers were characterized over process, voltage, and temperature. To measure Z0,
an external resistor is connected to the chip pad, either to OVDD or GND. Then the value of such resistor is
varied until the pad voltage is OVDD/2; see Figure 19, “Driver Impedance Measurement,” below.
The output impedance is actually the average of two components, the resistances of the pull-up and pull-
down devices. When Data is held low, SW1 is closed (SW2 is open), and RNis trimmed until Pad = OVDD/2. RN
then becomes the resistance of the pull-down devices. When Data is held high, SW2 is closed (SW1 is open),
and RPis trimmed until Pad = OVDD/2. RPthen becomes the resistance of the pull-up devices. With a properly
designed driver RP and RN are close to each other in value, then Z0 = (RP + RN)/2.
The following table summarizes the impedance a board designer would design to for a typical process. These
values were derived by simulation at 65°C. As the process improves, the output impedance will be lower by
several ohms than this typical value.

Pull-up Resistor Requirements
The 750 requires high-resistive (weak: 10K) pull-up resistors on several control signals of the bus interface
to maintain the control signals in the negated state after they have been actively negated and released by the
750 or other bus masters. These signals are: TS, ABB, DBB, TBST, GBL, and ARTRY.
In addition, the 750 has one open-drain style output that requires a pull-up resistor (weak or stronger: 4.7K
- 1K) if it is used by the system. This signal is: CKSTP_OUT.
If address or data parity is not used by the system, it should be disabled using HID0. This also disables the
parity input receivers. In most systems, the unused (and disabled) parity pins can be left unconnected; how-
ever, in some systems, these parity pins must be pulled up to OVdd by a weak (or stronger) pull-up.
No pull-up resistors are normally required for the L2 interface, the 60x bus address and AP lines, or the 60x
bus data and DP lines. The data bus input receivers are normally turned off when no read operation is in
progress and do not require pull-up resistors on the data bus.
HRESET and GBL must be actively driven.

Thermal Management Information
This section provides thermal management information for the CBGA package for air cooled applications.
Proper thermal control design is primarily dependent upon the system-level design; that is, the heat sink, air
flow, and the thermal interface material. To reduce the die-junction temperature, heat sinks may be attached
to the package by several methods: adhesive, spring clip to holes in the printed-circuit board or package, and
mounting clip and screw assembly, see Figure 20.

The board designer can choose between several types of heat sinks to place on the 750. There are several
commercially-available heat sinks for the 750 provided by the following vendors:

Ultimately, the final selection of an appropriate heat sink for the 750 depends on many factors, such as ther-
mal performance at a given air velocity, spatial volume, mass, attachment method, assembly, and cost.
Internal Package Conduction Resistance
For the exposed-die packaging technology, shown in Table “Package Thermal Characteristics1,” on page 10,
the intrinsic conduction thermal resistance paths are as follows.
Die junction-to-case thermal resistance
Die junction-to-ball thermal resistance
Figure 21 depicts the primary heat transfer path for a package with an attached heat sink mounted to a
printed-circuit board.

Heat generated on the active side (ball) of the chip is conducted through the silicon, then through the heat
sink attach material (or thermal interface material), and finally to the heat sink; where it is removed by forced-
air convection. Since the silicon thermal resistance is quite small, for a first-order analysis, the temperature
drop in the silicon may be neglected. Thus, the heat sink attach material and the heat sink conduction/con-
vective thermal resistances are the dominant terms.
Adhesives and Thermal Interface Materials
A thermal interface material is recommended at the package lid-to-heat sink interface to minimize the thermal
contact resistance. For those applications where the heat sink is attached by a spring clip mechanism,
Figure 22 shows the thermal performance of three thin-sheet thermal-interface materials (silicon, graphite/oil,
flouroether oil), a bare joint, and a joint with thermal grease, as a function of contact pressure. As shown, the
performance of these thermal interface materials improves with increasing contact pressure. The use of ther-
mal grease significantly reduces the interface thermal resistance. That is, the bare joint results in a thermal
resistance approximately 7 times greater than the thermal grease joint.
Heat sinks are attached to the package by means of a spring clip to holes in the printed-circuit board (see
Figure 20). Therefore the synthetic grease offers the best thermal performance, considering the low interface
pressure. Of course, the selection of any thermal interface material depends on many factors – thermal per-
formance requirements, manufacturability, service temperature, dielectric properties, cost, etc.

The following section provides a heat sink selection example using one of the commercially available heat
sinks.
Heat Sink Selection Example
For preliminary heat sink sizing, the die-junction temperature can be expressed as follows.
TJ = TA + TR + (θJC + θINT + θSA)× PD
Where:
TJ is the die-junction temperature
TA is the inlet cabinet ambient temperature
TRis the air temperature rise within the system cabinet
θJC is the junction-to-case thermal resistance
θINT is the thermal resistance of the thermal interface material
θSA is the heat sink-to-ambient thermal resistance
PD is the power dissipated by the device
Typical die-junction temperatures (TJ) should be maintained less than the value specified in Table “Package
Thermal Characteristics1,” on page 10. The temperature of the air cooling the component greatly depends
upon the ambient inlet air temperature and the air temperature rise within the computer cabinet. An electronic
cabinet inlet-air temperature (TA) may range from 30 to 40°C. The air temperature rise within a cabinet (TR)
may be in the range of 5 to 10°C. The thermal resistance of the interface material (θINT) is typically about 1°C/
W. Assuming a TAof 30°C, a TRof 5°C, a CBGA package θJC = 0.03, and a power dissipation (PD) of 5.0 watts,
the following expression for TJ is obtained.
Die-junction temperature: TJ = 30°C + 5°C + (0.03°C/W +1.0°C/W + θSA)× 5W
For a Thermalloy heat sink #2328B, the heat sink-to-ambient thermal resistance (θSA) versus air flow velocity
is shown in Figure 23.

Assuming an air velocity of 0.5m/s, we have an effective θSA of 7°C/W, thus
TJ = 30°C + 5°C + (.03°C/W +1.0°C/W + 7°C/W) × 4.5W,
resulting in a junction temperature of approximately 71°C which is well within the maximum operating temper-
ature of the component.
Other heat sinks offered by Chip Coolers, IERC, Thermalloy, Aavid, and Wakefield Engineering offer different
heat sink-to-ambient thermal resistances, and may or may not need air flow.
Though the junction-to-ambient and the heat sink-to-ambient thermal resistances are a common figure-of-
merit used for comparing the thermal performance of various microelectronic packaging technologies, one
should exercise caution when only using this metric in determining thermal management because no single
parameter can adequately describe three-dimensional heat flow. The final chip-junction operating tempera-
ture is not only a function of the component-level thermal resistance, but the system-level design and its oper-
ating conditions. In addition to the component's power dissipation, a number of factors affect the final
operating die-junction temperature. These factors might include air flow, board population (local heat flux of
adjacent components), heat sink efficiency, heat sink attach, next-level interconnect technology, system air
temperature rise, etc.
