Processor Core and Cache Memory Complex

The QorIQ P4080/P4040 has eight/four high-performance 32-bit Power Architecture Book E-
compliant e500mc cores. Each e500mc is a superscalar dual issue processor that supports out-
of-order execution and in-order completion, thus making it perform better than other RISC and
CISC architectures.

Features of e500mc

36 bit physical addressing

512-entry 4-Kbyte pages

3 Integer units (2 simple, 1 complex)

1.2GHz at 1.0V

64-Byte cache line size

L1 caches

User, Supervisor, and Hypervisor instruction level privileges

APU, classic double precision floating point unit

128-Kbyte private L2 cache running at the same frequency of CPU

2-Mbyte of shared L3 CoreNet platform cache (CPC)

Integrated Memory Controller

The P4080/P4040 integrates two DDR controllers that support DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM. It can
support a maximum of 64GByte of main memory. ENP2 modules would be limited to 8GByte,
using 4Gbit devices.The ECC capability detects all double-bit errors, detects all multi-bit errors
within a nibble, and corrects all single-bit errors. The DDR controller is capable of self-refresh
mode and an initialization bypass during system power-on after an abnormal shutdown for use
by designers in preventing re-initialization.
