Description
Designed specifically to address high-end embedded
applications, the PowerPC 440GX (PPC440GX)
provides a high-performance, low power solution that
interfaces to a wide range of peripherals by
incorporating on-chip power management features
and lower power dissipation.
This chip contains a high-performance RISC
processor core, DDR SDRAM controller, configurable
256KB SRAM to be used as L2 cache or software-
controlled on-chip memory, PCI-X bus interface,
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, TCP/IP acceleration
hardware, I2O messaging unit, control for external
ROM and peripherals, DMA with scatter-gather
support, serial ports, IIC interface, and general
purpose I/O.
