Overview

The ColdFire® V2 core is based on a memory-configurable hierarchical architecture that is 100 percent synthesizable and specifically designed for reuse and ease of integration into custom designs. The core supports up to 166 MHz of performance on a 0.13 µm process using a single-issue, standard cell-based design with 32-bit address and data buses and an integrated debug module. The core uses a variable length RISC architecture that allows instructions to be 16, 32, or 48 bits in length. The result is more efficiently packed code in memory, reducing memory requirements and lowering overall system cost.

Standard Product Platform–SPP

To help designers decrease time to market, Freescale has packaged the 68K/ColdFire V2 core architecture into a standard product platform. The SPP is a set of tested and previously deployed subsystems and peripherals easily used to build large, complex systems.SPP Features• V2 ColdFire core—100–160 MHz

Key Features

ColdFire V2 Architectural Features:

Variable-length RISC, clock multiplied core
Independent, decoupled pipelines Two-stage instruction fetch pipeline (IFP) Two-stage operand execution pipeline (OEP) FIFO instruction buffer is the decoupling mechanism
16 user-accessible, 32-bit wide general purpose registers
32-bit data bus
32-bit address bus supporting a 4 Gigabyte linear addressing range
Sophisticated two-level branch acceleration mechanisms minimize change-of-flow execution time
Background debug module (BDM), real-time trace (RTT) and real-time debug (RTD) support
Binary object code compatibility across the entire 68K/ColdFire family
Enhanced multiply-accumulate (EMAC) execute engine provides high-speed signal processing capabilities with four 40-bit accumulators and single-cycle instruction issue rate on 32 x 32 +_ 32 MAC operations
Vector base register to relocate the exception-vector table
100 percent synthesizable and technology-independent designs
