The Motorola MPC603r microprocessor is a low-power implementation of the PowerPC Reduced Instruction
Set Computer (RISC) architecture. The MPC603r microprocessor offers workstation-level performance packed
into a low-power, low-cost design ideal for desktop computers, notebooks and battery-powered systems,
as well as printer and imaging equipment, telecommunications systems, networking and communications infra-
structure, industrial controls, and home entertainment and educational devices. Industrial-grade, extended
temperature MPC603r microprocessors are available for harsh operating environments. The MPC603r micro-
processor is software- and bus-compatible with the MPC7xx and MPC74xx microprocessor families.
S u p e rs c a la r M ic ro p ro c e s s o r
The MPC603r microprocessor is a superscalar design
capable of issuing three instructions per clock cycle into five
independent execution units, including:
■
Integer unit
■
Load/Store unit
■
Floating-point unit
■
System register unit
■
Branch processing unit
The ability to execute multiple instructions in parallel, to pipeline
instructions, and the use of simple instructions with rapid
execution times yields maximum efficiency and throughput.

user-programmable modes progressively reduce the
power drawn by the processor. The microprocessor
also uses dynamic power management to selectively
activate functional units as they are needed by the exe-
cuting instructions. Unused functional units enter a
low-power state automatically without affecting per-
formance, software execution, or external hardware.
