HBE
High BAT enable. Enables the four additional pairs of BAT registers (IBAT4–IBAT7 and
DBAT4–DBAT7). These BATs are accessible by the mfspr and mtspr instructions regardless of the
setting of HID2[HBE].

SFP
Speed for low power. Setting SFP reduces power consumption at the cost of reducing the maximum
frequency, which benefits power-sensitive applications that are not frequency-critical.
16–18
IWLCK Instruction cache way lock. Useful for locking blocks of instructions into the instruction cache for
time-critical applications that require deterministic behavior. See Section 2.4.2.3, "Cache Locking."
19–23
Reserved
24–26 DWLCK Data cache way lock. Useful for locking blocks of data into the data cache for time-critical
applications where deterministic behavior is required. See Section 2.4.2.3, "Cache Locking."

Processor Version Register (PVR)
Software can identify the MPC8280's processor core by reading the processor version
register (PVR). The processor version number is 0x80822013.
2.3.2
PowerPC Instruction Set and Addressing Modes
All PowerPC instructions are encoded as single-word (32-bit) opcodes. Instruction formats
are consistent among all instruction types, permitting efficient decoding to occur in parallel
with operand accesses. This fixed instruction length and consistent format greatly
simplifies instruction pipelining.
2.3.2.1
Calculating Effective Addresses
The effective address (EA) is the 32-bit address computed by the processor when executing
a memory access or branch instruction or when fetching the next sequential instruction.
The PowerPC architecture supports two simple memory addressing modes:
• EA = (rA|0) + offset (including offset = 0) (register indirect with immediate index)
• EA = (rA|0) + rB (register indirect with index)
These simple addressing modes allow efficient address generation for memory accesses.
Calculation of the effective address for aligned transfers occurs in a single clock cycle.
