PowerPC 602 Risc Microprocessor


Product Description

The PowerPC 602(tm) microprocessor is a 32-bit implementation of the PowerPC(tm) family of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) microprocessors. It is intended for use in portable and small form factor uniprocessor applications such as PDAs. It achieves its performance through the concurrent execution of up to two instructions per cycle in its four parallel execution units: the fixed-point unit, floating point unit, branch processing unit, and the load/store unit. The low-power design of the PowerPC 602 microprocessor, and the power management features it incorporates, offer competitive advantages in performance oriented, power-sensitive portable applications.

The PowerPC Architecture(tm) is derived from the IBM Performance Optimized With Enhanced RISC (POWER(tm)) architecture. The PowerPC Architecture shares all the benefits of the POWER Architecture(tm) but is optimized for single-chip implementation. The PowerPC architecture is a major component of the PowerOpen(tm) environment.

The PowerPC Architecture offers a complete range of processor solutions for computing needs from embedded applications through multi-processor mainframe systems. Its unique combination of high performance, wide operating systems applicability, and small die size has resulted in its unprecedented success in the RISC computing market.
