System Design Information
MPC7450, 483 BGA, the pins that must be pulled up to OVDD are: LSSD_MODE and TEST[0:5]; the pins
that must be pulled down are: L1_TSTCLK and TEST[6].
In addition, the MPC7450 has one open-drain style output that requires a pull-up resistor (weak or stronger:
4.7 k
–1 k) if it is used by the system. This pin is CKSTP_OUT.
If pull-down resistors are used to configure BVSEL or L3VSEL, the resistors should be less than 250
(see
During inactive periods on the bus, the address and transfer attributes may not be driven by any master and
may, therefore, float in the high-impedance state for relatively long periods of time. Since the MPC7450
must continually monitor these signals for snooping, this float condition may cause excessive power draw
by the input receivers on the MPC7450 or by other receivers in the system. It is recommended that these
signals be pulled up through weak (4.7 k
) pull-up resistors by the system, or that they may be otherwise
driven by the system during inactive periods of the bus. The snooped address and transfer attribute inputs
are: A[0:35], AP[0:4], TT[0:4], CI, WT, and GBL.
If extended addressing is not used, A[0:3] are unused and must be be pulled low to GND through weak
pull-down resistors. If the MPC7450 is in 60x bus mode, DTI[0:3] must be pulled low to GND through weak
pull-down resistors.
The data bus input receivers are normally turned off when no read operation is in progress and, therefore,
do not require pull-up resistors on the bus. Other data bus receivers in the system, however, may require
pull-ups, or that those signals be otherwise driven by the system during inactive periods by the system. The
data bus signals are: D[0:63] and DP[0:7].
If address or data parity is not used by the system, and the respective parity checking is disabled through
HID0, the input receivers for those pins are disabled, and those pins do not require pull-up resistors and
should be left unconnected by the system. If all parity generation is disabled through HID0, then all parity
checking should also be disabled through HID0, and all parity pins may be left unconnected by the system.
The L3 interface does not normally require pull-up resistors.
1.9.8 JTAG Configuration Signals
Boundary scan testing is enabled through the JTAG interface signals. (BSDL descriptions of the MPC7450
are available on the internet at www.mot.com/PowerPC/teksupport.) The TRST signal is optional in the
IEEE 1149.1 specification, but is provided on all PowerPC implementations. While it is possible to force
the TAP controller to the reset state using only the TCK and TMS signals, more reliable power-on reset
performance will be obtained if the TRST signal is asserted during power-on reset. Since the JTAG interface
is also used for accessing the common on-chip processor (COP) function of PowerPC processors, simply
tying TRST to HRESET is not practical.
The COP function of PowerPC processors allows a remote computer system (typically, a PC with dedicated
hardware and debugging software) to access and control the internal operations of the processor. The COP
interface connects primarily through the JTAG port of the processor, with some additional status monitoring
signals. The COP port requires the ability to independently assert HRESET or TRST in order to fully control
the processor. If the target system has independent reset sources, such as voltage monitors, watchdog timers,
power supply failures, or push-button switches, then the COP reset signals must be merged into these signals
with logic.
The arrangement shown in
Figure 25 allows the COP to independently assert HRESET or TRST, while
ensuring that the target can drive HRESET as well. The pull-down resistor on TRST ensures that the JTAG
