Superscalar Microprocessor
MPC7447A processors feature a high-frequency superscalar core based on Power
Architecture technology, capable of issuing four instructions per clock cycle
(three instructions plus one branch) into 11 independent execution units:
- Four integer units (three simple plus one complex)
- Double-precision floating point unit
- Four AltiVec® technology units (simple, complex, floating and permute)
- Load/store unit
- Branch processing unit
New Power Management Features
- Clock frequency can be changed dynamically
- Temperature sensing diodes included to monitor die temperature
Compatability and Support
- MPC7447A processors are pin for pin compatible with MPC7445 and MPC7447
processors.
- As with all microprocessors built on Power Architecture technology, MPC7447A
processors are software compatible with the MPC7xx family of processors from
NXP®.
- Microprocessors built on Power Architecture technology enjoy a broad set
of operating systems, compilers and development tools from third-party vendors.
