Description PMC-Sierra’s RM7065A is a highly integrated symmetric superscalar microprocessor capable of issuing two instructions each processor cycle. It has two high-performance 64-bit integer units as well as a high-throughput, fully pipelined 64-bit floating point unit. Features • Dual issue symmetric superscalar microprocessor with instruction prefetch optimized for system level price/performance • 300, 350 MHz operating frequency • >525 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS @ 350 MHz • High-performance system interface • 1000 MB per second peak throughput • 125 MHz max. freq., multiplexed address/data • Supports two outstanding reads with out-of-order return • Processor clock multipliers 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 • Integrated primary and secondary caches • All are 4-way set associative with 32 byte line size • 16 KB instruction, 16 KB data, 256 KB on-chip secondary • Per line cache locking in primaries and secondary • Fast Packet Cache™ increases system efficiency in networking applications • High-performance floating-point unit — 800 MFLOPS maximum • Single cycle repeat rate for common single-precision operations and some double-precision operations • Single cycle repeat rate for single-precision combined multiply-add operations • Two cycle repeat rate for double-precision multiply and double-precision combined multiply-add operations • MIPS IV superset instruction set architecture • Data PREFETCH instruction allows the processor to overlap cache miss latency and instruction execution • Single-cycle floating-point multiply-add • Integrated memory management unit • Fully associative joint TLB (shared by I and D translations) • 64/48 dual entries map 128/96 pages • Variable page size • Embedded application enhancements • Specialized DSP integer Multiply-Accumulate instructions, (MAD/MADU) and three-operand multiply instruction (MUL) • I&D Test/Break-point (Watch) registers for emulation & debug • Performance counter for system and software tuning & debug • Fourteen fully prioritized vectored interrupts — 10 external, 2 internal, 2 software • Fully static CMOS design with dynamic power down logic
