Freescale Semiconductor MPC8272ADS User Manual page 16

• User's manuals—These books provide details about individual implementations and
are intended for use with the Programming Environments Manual.
• Addenda/errata to user's manuals—Because some processors have follow-on parts,
an addendum describes the additional features and functionality changes. These
addenda are intended for use with the corresponding user's manuals.
• Hardware specifications—Hardware specifications provide specific data about bus
timing, signal behavior, and AC, DC, and thermal characteristics, as well as other
design considerations. Separate hardware specifications are provided for each part
described in this book.
• Technical summaries—Each device has a technical summary that provides an
overview of its features. This document is roughly equivalent to the overview
(Chapter 1) of a user's manual for implementation.
• The Programmer's Reference Guide for the PowerPC Architecture—This concise
reference includes the register summary, memory control model, exception vectors,
and the PowerPC instruction set.
• The Programmer's Pocket Reference Guide for the PowerPC Architecture—This
foldout card provides an overview of PowerPC registers, instructions, and
exceptions for 32-bit implementations.
• Application notes—These useful short documents address specific design issues for
programmers and engineers who work with Motorola processors.
Additional literature is published as new processors become available. For a current list of
documentation, refer to http://www.motorola.com/semiconductors.
Conventions
This document uses the following notational conventions:
cleared/set
asserted/negated
mnemonics
italics
0x0
0b0
The words 'set' and 'cleared' are reserved for use with bits and
fields, but not signals. A bit or field is cleared when it contains the
value zero. A bit is set when it contains the value one. However, a
field can be set to a value that contains zeros and ones.
The words 'asserted' and 'negated' are reserved for use with signals
and not bits.
Instruction mnemonics are shown in lowercase bold.
Italics indicate variable command parameters, for example, bcctrx.
Book titles in text are set in italics.
Internal signals are set in italics, for example, qual BG.
Prefix to denote hexadecimal number
Prefix to denote binary number
