PowerPC™ 601 RISC Microprocessor

Technical Summary

This document provides an overview of the PowerPC 601 RISC microprocessor features,

including a block diagram showing the major functional components. It also provides an

overview of the PowerPC architecture, and information about how the 601 implementation

differs from the architectural definitions.

This document is divided into three parts:

•

Part 1, “PowerPC 601 Microprocessor Overview,” provides an overview of the 601

features, including a block diagram showing the major functional components.

•

Part 2, “Levels of the PowerPC Architecture,” describes the three levels of the

PowerPC architecture.

•

Part 3, “PowerPC 601 Microprocessor: Implementation,” describes the PowerPC

architecture in general, noting where the 601 differs.

In this document, the terms “PowerPC 601 RISC Microprocessor” and “601” are used to

denote the first microprocessor from the PowerPC architecture family. The PowerPC 601

microprocessors are available from IBM as PPC601 and from Motorola as MPC601.
