Introduction
The PXR40 device targets real-time, high performance applications. It is built upon the 90 nm CMOS
technology node. This document describes the features of the PXR40 and highlights important electrical
and physical characteristics of the device.
The e200z7 core of the PXR40 is compatible with the Power Architecture® Book E architecture. It is 100%
user-mode compatible (with floating point library) with the classic PowerPC instruction set. The Book E
architecture has enhancements that improve the architecture’s fit in embedded applications. In addition to
the classic PowerPC instruction set, this core also has additional instruction support for digital signal
processing (DSP) and SIMD operations.
The PXR40 has two levels of memory hierarchy, a 32 KB Harvard architecture cache and a 256 KB
on-chip SRAM. 4 MB of internal flash memory is provided.
The features of the final, production-targeted device version are listed below.
