• Manufacturer Part Number: ppc440gr-3jb667cz
• Description: Powerpc 440gr Embedded Processor
• Manufacturer: Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC)

Internal Buses
The PowerPC 440GR features four standard on-chip buses: two Processor Local Buses (PLBs), one On-Chip
Peripheral Bus (OPB), and the Device Control Register Bus (DCR). The high performance, high bandwidth cores
such as the PowerPC 440 processor core, the DDR SDRAM memory controller, and the PCI bridge connect to the
PLBs. The primary OPB hosts lower data rate peripherals. The daisy-chained DCR provides a lower bandwidth
path for passing status and control information between the processor core and the other on-chip cores.
Features include:
