PowerPC Documentation
The PowerPC documentation is available from the sources listed on the back cover of this
manual; the document order numbers are included in parentheses for ease in ordering:
• User's manuals—These books provide details about individual PowerPC
implementations and are intended to be used in conjunction with The Programming
Environments Manual.
• Programming environments manuals—These books provide information about
resources defined by the PowerPC architecture that are common to PowerPC
processors. The 32- bit architecture model is described in PowerPC Microprocessor
Family: The Programming Environments for 32-Bit Microprocessors, Rev. 1:
MPCFPE32B/AD (Motorola order #)
• Implementation Variances Relative to Rev. 1 of The Programming Environments
Manual is available via the world-wide web at http://www.motorola.com/PowerPC/.
• Addenda/errata to user's manuals—Because some processors have follow-on parts
an addendum is provided that describes the additional features and changes to
functionality of the follow-on part. These addenda are intended for use with the
corresponding user's manuals.
• Hardware specifications—Hardware specifications provide specific data regarding
bus timing, signal behavior, and AC, DC, and thermal characteristics, as well as
other design considerations for each PowerPC implementation.
• Technical Summaries—Each PowerPC implementation has a technical summary
that provides an overview of its features. This document is roughly the equivalent to
the overview (Chapter 1) of an implementation's user's manual.
• PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Bus Interface for 32-Bit Microprocessors:
MPCBUSIF/AD (Motorola order #) provides a detailed functional description of the
60x bus interface, as implemented on the 601, 603, and 604 family of PowerPC
