Chapter 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The digital communication networking and consumer markets require significant processor performance to enable operating systems and
applications such as VxWorks, QNX, JAVA and soft modems. High integration is essential to reducing device and systems costs. The
MPC5200B is specifically designed to meet these market needs while building on the family of microprocessors that use PowerPC
architecture. For more information on PowerPC architecture, see “The Programming Environments Manual for 32-bit Implementations of the
PowerPC Architecture”.
The MPC5200B integrates a high performance e300 core with a rich set of peripheral functions focused on communications and systems
integration. The e300 core design is based on the PowerPC core architecture. The MPC5200B incorporates an innovative I/O subsystem,
which isolates routine maintenance of peripheral functions from the embedded e300 core.
The MPC5200B supports a dual external bus architecture. It has a high speed SDRAM Bus interface that connects directly to the e300 core.
In addition, the MPC5200B has a LocalPlus Bus used as a generalized interface to system level peripheral devices and debug environments.
