Description
Designed specifically to address high-end embedded
applications, the PowerPC 460EX (PPC460EX)
provides a high-performance, low-power solution that
interfaces to a wide range of peripherals and
incorporates on-chip power management features.
This chip contains a high-performance RISC
processor, on-chip memory, a floating point unit, a
DDR2/1 SDRAM controller, PCI and PCI Express bus
interfaces, control for external ROM and peripherals,
DMA with scatter/gather support, Ethernet ports, serial
ports, IIC interfaces, SPI interface, USB ports, NAND
Flash interface, SATA interface, an optional security
feature with KASUMI, and general purpose I/O.
Technology: CMOS Cu-08, 90nm.
Package: 35mm, 728-ball thermally and electrically
enhanced plastic ball grid array (TE-EPBGA). RoHS
compliant package available.
Typical power: Less than 5W at 1GHz with DDR2.
Supply voltages required: 3.3V, 2.5V (DDR1,
Ethernet), 1.8V (DDR2), 1.2V.
