MPC855T Communications
Controller Technical
Summary
The MPC855T communications controller is a member of the MPC8xx family targeted at cost
sensitive general purpose networking controller applications. The MPC855T can be used in a
variety of controller applications, excelling particularly in low cost communications and
networking products, such as SOHO routers, ADSL, and cable modems.
The MPC855T integrates three separate processing blocks. The first two, common with all
MPC8xx devices, are (1) a high-performance MPC8xx core, which is used as a
general-purpose processor for application programming and (2) a RISC communications
processor (CP) embedded in the communications processor module (CPM). All MPC8xx
devices will have an 8-KByte dual port RAM when the MPC855T is available. The third block
is a 10/100-Mbps Fast Ethernet controller with integrated FIFOs and bursting DMA. The
MPC855T’s Fast Ethernet controller is implemented independently, providing
high-performance Fast Ethernet connectivity without affecting the performance of the CPM.
Additionally, since the CPM of the MPC855T is based on the CPM of other MPC8xx devices,
support for ATM, HDLC, and the QMC (QUICC multichannel controller) multichannel
protocol is also provided. The QMC protocol enables the MPC855T to provide protocol
processing (through HDLC or transparent mode) for 32 time-division-multiplexed channels
(on TDM channel A) when the MPC855T is operated at 50 MHz. This support for
multichannel protocol processing, ATM and 10/100-Mbps Ethernet in one chip makes the
MPC855T ideal for cost sensitive networking and telecommunications systems.

Embedded MPC8xx Core
The embedded MPC8xx core is compliant with the PowerPC user instruction set architecture; refer to
Programming Environments Manual for 32-Bit Implementations of the PowerPC Architecture for more
information. The embedded MPC8xx core is a fully-static design that consists of two functional units—the
integer unit and the load/store unit. It executes all integer and load/store operations directly on the hardware.
The core supports integer operations on a 32-bit internal data path and 32-bit arithmetic hardware. The core
interface to the internal and external buses is 32 bits. The core uses a two-instruction load/store queue, a
four- instruction prefetch queue, and a six-instruction history buffer. The core performs branch folding and
MOTOROLA
MPC855T Communications Controller Technical Summary

MPC855T Architecture Overview
branch prediction with conditional prefetch, but without conditional execution. The embedded core can
operate on 32-bit external operands with one bus cycle.
The integer unit supports 32- x 32-bit fixed-point general-purpose registers. It can execute one integer
instruction each clock cycle. Each element in the integer unit is clocked only when valid data is present in
the data queue ready for operation. This assures that the power consumption of the device is held to the
absolute minimum required to perform an operation.
The embedded core is integrated with MMUs as well as 4-Kbyte instruction and data caches. Each MMU
provides a 32-entry, fully-associative instruction and data TLB, with multiple page sizes of: 4 Kbytes, 16
Kbytes, 512 Kbytes, 256 Kbytes, and 8 Mbytes. It supports 16 virtual address spaces with 8 protection
groups. Three special registers are available as scratch registers to support software tablewalk and update.
The instruction cache is 4 Kbytes, two-way, set associative with physical addressing. It allows single-cycle
access on hit with no added latency for miss. It has four words per line, and supports burst linefill using least
recently used (LRU) replacement. The cache may be locked on a per-line basis for application-critical
routines.
The data cache is 4 Kbytes, two-way, set associative with physical addressing. It allows single-cycle access
on hit with one added clock latency for miss. It has four words per line, supporting burst linefill using LRU
replacement. The cache may be locked on a per-line basis for application-critical routines. The data cache
can be programmed to support copy-back or write-through via the MMU. The cache-inhibit mode can be
programmed per MMU page.
The embedded core with its instruction and data caches delivers approximately 106 MIPS at 80 MHz, using
Dhrystone 2.1, based on the assumption that it is issuing one instruction per cycle with a cache hit rate of
94%.
The embedded core provides a much improved debug interface that operates without causing any
degradation in the speed of user operations. This interface supports six watchpoint signals that are used to
detect software events. Internally the MPC855T has eight comparators, four of which operate on the
effective address on the address bus. The remaining four comparators are split, with two comparators
operating on the effective address on the data bus, and two comparators operating on the data on the data
bus. The embedded core can compare using =, ≠, <, > conditions to generate watchpoints. Each watchpoint
can then generate a breakpoint that can be programmed to trigger in a programmable number of events.
1.2.2
Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC)
The Fast Ethernet controller on the MPC855T is compliant with the IEEE 802.3u specification for 10-Mbps
and 100-Mbps connectivity. Full-duplex 100-Mbps operation is supported at system clock rates of 50 MHz
and higher. A 33-MHz system clock supports 10-Mbps operation or half-duplex 100-Mbps operation.
The Fast Ethernet controller provides greatly reduced bus utilization through the use of bursting DMA.
Optimization of bus utilization allows the MPC855T to be used in systems with low-cost memories such as
synchronous DRAM.
Transmit and receive FIFOs further reduce bus utilization by localizing all collisions to the Fast Ethernet
controller. On the transmit side, a full collision window of transmit frame data is maintained in the FIFO,
eliminating the need for repeated DMA over the system bus in the event of a collision. On the receive side,
a full collision window of data is received before any receive data is transferred into system memory,
allowing the FIFO to be flushed in the event of a runt or collided frame, with no DMA activity. However,
external memory for data buffers and buffer descriptors is required; on-chip FIFOs are only designed to
compensate for collisions and for system bus latency.

MPC855T Communications Controller Technical Summary
MOTOROLA
MPC855T Architecture Overview
Independent transmit and receive buffer descriptor rings located in external memory allow nearly unlimited
flexibility in memory management of transmit and receive data frames. Locating buffer descriptors in
external memory has two advantages—first, external memory (i.e., DRAM) is low cost; secondly, descriptor
rings in external memory have no inherent size limitations, allowing the memory management to be
optimized according to specific system needs.
1.2.3
System Interface Unit (SIU)
The SIU on the MPC855T integrates general-purpose features useful in almost any 32-bit processor system,
enhancing the performance provided by the system integration module (SIM) on the MC68360 QUICC
device.
Although the embedded MPC8xx core is always a 32-bit device internally, it may be configured to operate
with an 8-, 16- or 32-bit data bus. Regardless of the choice of the system bus size, dynamic bus sizing is
supported. Bus sizing allows 8-, 16-, and 32-bit peripherals and memory to exist in the 32-bit system bus
mode.
The SIU also provides power management functions, reset control, decrementer, time base and real-time
clock.
The memory controller supports up to eight memory banks with glueless interfaces to DRAM, SRAM,
SDRAM, EPROM, Flash EPROM, SRDRAM, EDO and other peripherals with two-clock access. The
memory controller supports bursting and variable memory block sizes from 32 Kbytes to 256 Mbytes. The
memory controller provides 0–15 wait states for each bank of memory and can use address type matching
to qualify each memory bank access. It also provides four byte-enable signals for varying width devices,
one output enable signal, and one boot chip select available at reset.
The DRAM interface supports port sizes of 8, 16, and 32 bits. Memory banks are defined in depths of 256
and 512 Kbytes, and 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 Mbytes for all port sizes. In addition, memory depth is defined
as 64 Kbytes and 128 Kbytes for 8-bit memory or 128 Mbytes and 256 Mbytes for 32-bit memory. The
DRAM controller supports page mode access for successive transfers within bursts. The MPC855T supports
a glueless interface to one bank of DRAM; external buffers are required for additional memory banks. The
refresh unit provides CAS before RAS, a programmable refresh timer, refresh active during external reset,
disable refresh modes, and stacking up to seven refresh cycles. The DRAM interface uses a programmable
state machine to support almost any memory interface.PCMCIA Controller
The PCMCIA interface is a master (socket) controller and is compliant with release 2.1. The interface
supports up to two independent PCMCIA sockets requiring only external transceivers/buffers. The interface
provides eight memory or I/O windows where each window is allocated to a particular socket. If only one
PCMCIA port is being used, the unused PCMCIA port may be used as general-purpose input with interrupt
capability.
1.2.4
Communications Processor Module (CPM)
The MPC855T, like the earlier generation MPC850/860 family, implements a dual- processor architecture.
This dual-processor architecture provides both a high-performance, general-purpose processor for
application programming use as well as a special-purpose communications processor module (CPM)
uniquely designed for communications needs.
The CPM contains features that allow the 855T to excel in communications and networking products. These
features may be divided into three subgroups:
•
Communications processor (CP)
MOTOROLA
MPC855T Communications Controller Technical Summary

ATM Support
•
•
Ten independent serial DMA (SDMA) controllers
Four general-purpose timers
The CPM provides the communications features. Included are a communications processor, one serial
communications controller (SCC), two serial management controllers (SMC), one serial peripheral
interface (SPI), one I2C Interface, 8 Kbytes of dual-port RAM, an interrupt controller, a time slot assigner,
three parallel ports, a parallel interface port, four independent baud rate generators, and ten serial DMA
channels to support the SCC, SMCs, SPI, and I2C.
The SDMAs provide two channels of general-purpose DMA capability for each communications channel.
They offer high-speed transfers, 32-bit data movement, buffer chaining, and independent request and
acknowledge logic.
The four general-purpose timers on the CPM are identical to the timers found on the MC68360 and still
support the internal cascading of two timers to form a 32-bit timer. Like the MC68MH360, QUICC32, the
MPC860MH, and the MPC860T, the MPC855T supports the QMC multichannel protocol for processing
multiple time-division-multiplexed channels over the single SCC.
1.2.4.1
The QMC Multichannel Protocol
The MPC855T can handle one logical channel performing the protocol framework for each of its serial
channels. This logical channel is used in time-division-multiplexed interfaces. In contrast, the QMC
multichannel protocol emulates up to 32 serial controllers that can operate in either HDLC mode or
transparent mode within the one SCC.
Refer to the QMC Supplement to MC68360 and MPC860 User’s Manuals for more details about the
features and operation of the QMC multichannel protocol.
1.3
ATM Support
Support for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) has been integrated into the 855T by inclusion of ATM
microcode in the ROM of the CPM and addition of a UTOPIA port, multiplexed onto parallel port D. The
serial communications signals that existed on port D for the MPC855T have been multiplexed onto port A
and port C, similarly to the MC68360 and the MPC860.
ATM processing is performed in the communications processor (CP) by microcoded routines. The ATM
performance of the 860SAR will vary depending on the mode of the physical interface (serial or UTOPIA)
and the protocol processing performed (AAL0 or AAL5). When using the UTOPIA interface, 10/100-Mbps
channel is not supported.
The UTOPIA port of the 855T is 8 bits wide. Handshaking is performed on a cell basis. The UTOPIA port
has no FIFO; the UTOPIA PHY will contain internal storage so that cells (typically only one cell) will be
held there until the 855T is ready to process it, upon which the cell will be transferred all at once. Two bits
of ‘PHY address’ are also included in the UTOPIA port to enable implementation of multi-PHY UTOPIA
for up to 4 PHY devices. If multi-PHY UTOPIA is implemented, external logic will have to decode these
signals in order to gate the transmit and receive cell handshaking signals to and from the appropriate PHY
devices.
The receive channel of the 855T has a higher priority than the transmit channel, enabling the (maximum)
70 Mbps ATM bandwidth of the 855T to be dynamically switched between the receive and transmit
channels. Thus the 855T can be connected to full-duplex high-speed channels (e.g. 51 Mbps) without loss
of cells; the transmit bandwidth will merely drop when the receive port is operating at maximum speed. For
10
MPC855T Communications Controller Technical Summary
MOTOROLA
Power Management
connection to higher-speed UTOPIA connections (e.g. 155 Mbps), an external FIFO will be required, and
the time-average of the bandwidth processed by the 855T must be less than 70 Mbps.
Serial-mode ATM can be performed over the SCC for a byte-aligned serial stream only. This means that an
indication of a byte boundary in the serial stream must be given to the 855T SCC. With frame-based
transmission (e.g. T1, E1, or ADSL), ATM cells are mapped into n-byte frames at byte boundaries, and a
frame-sync signal is always provided; thus signals in a frame-based format can be gluelessly connected to
the MPC855T via either of the TDM interfaces (TDMa or TDMb). Serial streams that have no indication of
byte boundaries can only be supported if external logic provides a byte-boundary sync.
The ATM pace control (APC) transmit scheduler is also implemented in microcode. However, a CPM timer
(Timer 4) is also dedicated to generate the clock which is counted by the APC. The speed of this timer
defines the granularity of the control of the APC.
The receive connection table can be implemented either in internal memory or external memory, or with a
combination. Internal memory can be used to support up to 32 connections. Additional connections can be
supported with external memory using address compression, with some loss of performance. It is possible
to use a combination of internal connections and external connections with address compression, enabling
the user to minimize performance loss by keeping the highest-traffic connections in internal memory.
Finally, features also exist to enable use of a content-addressable memory (CAM), to support a large number
of connections in external memory with no performance loss.
Buffer descriptors and buffers for the ATM virtual circuit connections (VCCs) can be contained in internal
or external memory, but will typically be contained in external memory. The ATM microcode uses bursting
DMA to maximize the performance of the ATM connections.
Support for expanded cells (up to 64 bytes) is also provided. While the standard size of cells on the ATM
network is 53 bytes, support for larger cells enables the user to tag additional information onto a cell. An
example use of this tag information is insertion of a card address when implementing ATM over a shared
backplane in an ATM switch.
1.4
Power Management
The MPC855T supports a wide range of power management features including full-on, doze, sleep, deep
sleep, and low-power stop. In full-on mode the MPC855T processor is fully powered with all internal units
operating at the full speed of the processor. A programmable clock divider allows the OS to reduce the
operational frequency of the processor. Doze mode disables core functional units other than the time base,
decrementer, PLL, memory controller, RTC, and places the CPM in low-power standby mode. Sleep mode
disables everything except the RTC and PIT, leaving the PLL active for quick wake-up. The deep sleep mode
disables the PLL for lower power but slower wake-up. Low-power stop disables all logic in the processor
except the minimum logic required to restart the device, providing the lowest power consumption but
requiring the longest wake-up time.
1.5
Glueless System Design
A fundamental design goal of the MPC8xx family is ease of interface to other system components. Figure
2 shows a system configuration that offers one EPROM, one Flash EPROM, and supports two DRAM
SIMMs. Depending on the capacitance on the system bus, external buffers may be required. From a logic
standpoint, however, a glueless system is maintained.
