7.3 Cache Operation
7.3.1 Searching Cache
If the cache is enabled (CE bit in CCR register is 1), whenever instructions or data in spaces of P0,
P1, and P3 are accessed the cache will be searched to see if the desired instruction or data is in the
cache. Figure 7.2 illustrates the method by which the cache is searched. The cache is a physical
cache of which tag address hold an address.
Entries are selected using bits 11 to 4 of the address used to access memory (virtual address) and
the tag address of that entry is read. The physical address (bits 31 to 12) after translation and the
physical address read from the address section are compared. The address comparison uses all four
ways. When the comparison shows a match and the selected entry is valid (V
= 1), a cache hit
occurs. When the comparison does not show a match or the selected entry is not valid (V
= 0), a
cache miss occurs. Figure 7.2 shows a hit on way 1.
