NOTES:

*Tcase = 80°C Maximum

1.This number can be reduced to 5 ns if strobes have equal loads.

2.If the asynchronous setup time (#47A) requirements are satisfied, the DSACKx low to data setup time (#31) and DSACKx low to BERR low setup time (#48) can be ignored. The data must only satisfy the data-in clock low setup time (#27) for the following clock Cycle, and BERR must only satisfy the late BERR low to clock low setup time (#27A) for the following clock cycle.

3.This parameter specifies the maximum allowable skew between DSACK0 to DSACK1 asserted or DSACK1 to DSACK0 asserted specification #47A must be met by DSACK0 or DSACK1.

4.This specification applies to the first (DSACK0 or DSACK1) DSACKx signal asserted. In the absence of DSACKx, BERR is an asynchronous input using the asynchronous input setup time (#47A).

5.DBEN may stay asserted on consecutive write cycles•

6.The minimum values must be met to guarantee proper operation. If this maximum value is exceeded, B'-Gmay be reasserted.

7.This specification indicates the minimum high time for ECS and OCS in the event of an internal cache hit followed immediately by another cache hit, a cache miss, or an operand cycle.

8.This__specification guarantees ~)peration with the MC68881/MC68882, which specifies a minimum time for ~ negated

• to,AS asserted (specification #13A in the MC68881/MC68882 User's Manual). Without this specification, incorrect

interpretation of specifications #9A and #15 would indicate that the MC68030 does not meet the MC68881/MC68882 requirements.

9.This specification allows a system designer to guarantee data hold times on the output side of data buffers that have output enable signals generated with DBEN. The timing on DBEN precludes its use for synchronous READ cycles with no wait states.

10.These specifi(;ations allow system designers to guarantee that an alternate bus master has stopped driving the bus when the MC68030 regains control of the bus after an arbitration sequence.

.11. DS will not be asserted for synchronous write cycles with no wait states~

12.These hold times are specified with respect to strobes (asynchronous) and with respect to the clock (synchronous). The designer is free to use either time.

13.Synch?or~ous__ inputs must meet specifications #60 and #61 with stabJe logic levels for all rising edges of the clock while AS is asserted. These values are specified relative to the high level of the rising clock edge The values originally published were specified relative to the low level of the rising clock edge.

14. This specification allows system des~qners'._.ttoqualify t h e ~ signal of an MC68881/MC68882 with AT (allowing 7 ns for a gate delay) and still meet the CS to DS setup time requirement (spec 8B) of the MC68881/MC68882.

MC68030 specifications

The Motorola MC68030 is a highly significant microprocessor that was introduced in 1987 as part of the Motorola 68000 family. This processor was designed to provide advanced performance for a wide range of applications, including workstations, embedded systems, and desktop computers. With its innovative architecture, the MC68030 offered several key features and characteristics that contributed to its popularity.

One of the standout features of the MC68030 is its 32-bit architecture, which enhances data handling and processing efficiency. The processor includes a 32-bit data bus and a 32-bit address bus, allowing it to address up to 4 GB of memory directly. This capability was particularly advantageous for applications requiring large data sets and complex calculations.

The MC68030 introduced an improved memory management unit (MMU), which provided virtual memory support. This advanced memory management enables the CPU to use memory more efficiently by allowing it to access more memory than physically available. The MMU also facilitated advanced features such as memory protection and paging, which were essential for multitasking operating systems.

Another significant advancement in the MC68030 was its integrated cache memory. The processor featured an on-chip instruction cache and an optional data cache, which significantly improved performance by reducing memory access latency. The presence of cache memory allowed for faster instruction execution, enabling the MC68030 to achieve higher overall processing speeds compared to its predecessors.

In terms of instruction set architecture, the MC68030 maintained compatibility with the earlier 68000 series while also introducing new instructions and addressing modes. This ensured that software developed for earlier models could still run on the 68030, protecting the investment of companies that had built their systems around the previous models.

The MC68030 also offered a maximum clock speed of up to 40 MHz, which was quite impressive for its time. This higher clock frequency, coupled with its efficient architectural improvements, allowed the MC68030 to outperform many contemporary processors in both single-task and multi-task scenarios.

In summary, the Motorola MC68030 was a groundbreaking microprocessor that combined 32-bit architecture, advanced memory management, integrated cache, and compatibility with legacy software. Its improved performance and versatility made it a popular choice in various computing environments, from personal computers to sophisticated workstations, leaving a lasting legacy in the evolution of microprocessor technology.
