Figure 2. Overshoot/Undershoot Voltage for Dn_M/O/L/TVIN

The MPC8640 core voltage must always be provided at nominal VDD_Coren (See Table 2 for actual
recommended core voltage). Voltage to the processor interface I/Os are provided through separate sets of
supply pins and must be provided at the voltages shown in Table 2. The input voltage threshold scales with
respect to the associated I/O supply voltage. OVDD and L/TVDD based receivers are simple CMOS I/O
circuits and satisfy appropriate LVCMOS type specifications. The DDR SDRAM interface uses a
single-ended differential receiver referenced to each externally supplied Dn_MVREF signal (nominally set
to Dn_GVDD/2) as is appropriate for the (SSTL-18 and SSTL-25) electrical signaling standards.

2.2 Power-Up/Down Sequence

The MPC8640 requires its power rails to be applied in a specific sequence to ensure proper device
operation.
NOTE
The recommended maximum ramp up time for power supplies is 20
milliseconds.
The chronological order of power up is:
1. All power rails other than DDR I/O (Dn_GVDD, and Dn_MVREF).
NOTE
There is no required order sequence between the individual rails for this
item (# 1). However, VDD_PLAT, AVDD_PLAT rails must reach 90% of
their recommended value before the rail for Dn_GVDD, and Dn_MVREF (in
next step) reaches 10% of their recommended value. AVDD type supplies
must be delayed with respect to their source supplies by the RC time
constant of the PLL filter circuit described in Section 20.2.1, “PLL Power
Supply Filtering.”
2. Dn_GVDD, Dn_MVREF
NOTE
It is possible to leave the related power supply (Dn_GVDD, Dn_MVREF)
turned off at reset for a DDR port that will not be used. Note that these power
supplies can only be powered up again at reset for functionality to occur on
the DDR port.
3. 3. SYSCLK
The recommended order of power down is as follows:
1. Dn_GVDD, Dn_MVREF
2. All power rails other than DDR I/O (Dn_GVDD, Dn_MVREF).
NOTE
SYSCLK may be powered down simultaneous to either of item # 1 or # 2 in
the power down sequence. Beyond this, the power supplies may power
down simultaneously if the preservation of DDRn memory is not a concern.
See Figure 3 for more details on the power and reset sequencing details.

2. The recommended maximum ramp up time for power supplies is 20 milliseconds.
3. Refer to Section 5, “RESET Initialization,” for additional information on PLL relock and reset signal
assertion timing requirements.
4. Refer to Table 11 for additional information on reset configuration pin setup timing requirements. In
addition see Figure 68 regarding HRESET and JTAG connection details including TRST.
5. e600 PLL relock time is 100 microseconds maximum plus 255 MPX_clk cycles.
6. Stable PLL configuration signals are required as stable SYSCLK is applied. All other POR configuration
inputs are required 4 SYSCLK cycles before HRESET negation and are valid at least 2 SYSCLK cycles
after HRESET has negated (hold requirement). See Section 5, “RESET Initialization,” for more
information on setup and hold time of reset configuration signals.
7. VDD_PLAT, AVDD_PLAT must strictly reach 90% of their recommended voltage before the rail for
Dn_GVDD, and Dn_MVREF reaches 10% of their recommended voltage.
8. SYSCLK must be driven only AFTER the power for the various power supplies is stable.
9. In device sleep mode, the reset configuration signals for DRAM types (TSEC2_TXD[4],TSEC2_TX_ER)
must be valid BEFORE HRESET is asserted.

1. This is a maximum power supply number which is provided for power supply and board design information. The numbers are
based on 100% bus utilization for each component. The components listed are not expected to have 100% bus usage
simultaneously for all components. Actual numbers may vary based on activity.
2. Number is based on a per port/interface value.
3. This is based on one eTSEC port used. Since 16-bit FIFO mode involves two ports, the number will need to be multiplied by
two for the total. The other eTSEC protocols dissipate less than this number per port. Note that the power needs to be
multiplied by the number of ports used for the protocol for the total eTSEC port power dissipation.

Notes:
1. Caution: The MPX clock to SYSCLK ratio and e600 core to MPX clock ratio settings must be chosen such that the resulting
SYSCLK frequency, e600 (core) frequency, and MPX clock frequency do not exceed their respective maximum or minimum
operating frequencies. Refer to Section 18.2, “MPX to SYSCLK PLL Ratio,” and Section 18.3, “e600 to MPX clock PLL
Ratio,” for ratio settings.
2. Rise and fall times for SYSCLK are measured at 0.4 V and 2.7 V.
3. Timing is guaranteed by design and characterization.
4. This represents the short term jitter only and is guaranteed by design.
5. The SYSCLK driver’s closed loop jitter bandwidth should be <500 kHz at –20 dB. The bandwidth must be set low to allow
cascade-connected PLL-based devices to track SYSCLK drivers with the specified jitter. Note that the frequency modulation
for SYSCLK reduces significantly for the spread spectrum source case. This is to guarantee what is supported based on
design.

4.1.1 SYSCLK and Spread Spectrum Sources

Spread spectrum clock sources are an increasingly popular way to control electromagnetic interference
emissions (EMI) by spreading the emitted noise to a wider spectrum and reducing the peak noise
magnitude in order to meet industry and government requirements. These clock sources intentionally add
long-term jitter to diffuse the EMI spectral content. The jitter specification given in Table 8 considers
short-term (cycle-to-cycle) jitter only and the clock generator’s cycle-to-cycle output jitter should meet the
MPC8640 input cycle-to-cycle jitter requirement. Frequency modulation and spread are separate concerns,
and the MPC8640 is compatible with spread spectrum sources if the recommendations listed in Table 9 are
observed.
Table 9. Spread Spectrum Clock Source Recommendations
At recommended operating conditions. See Table 2.

Parameter Min Max Unit Notes

Frequency modulation — 50 kHz 1

Frequency spread — 1.0 % 1, 2

Notes:
1. Guaranteed by design.
2. SYSCLK frequencies resulting from frequency spreading, and the resulting core and VCO frequencies, must meet the
minimum and maximum specifications given in Table 8.

It is imperative to note that the processor’s minimum and maximum SYSCLK, core, and VCO frequencies
must not be exceeded regardless of the type of clock source. Therefore, systems in which the processor is
operated at its maximum rated e600 core frequency should avoid violating the stated limits by using
down-spreading only.
SDn_REF_CLK and SDn_REF_CLK were designed to work with a spread spectrum clock (+0 to 0.5%
spreading at 30-33 kHz rate is allowed), assuming both ends have same reference clock. For better results,
use a source without significant unintended modulation.

4.2 Real Time Clock Timing

The RTC input is sampled by the platform clock (MPX clock). The output of the sampling latch is then
used as an input to the counters of the PIC. There is no jitter specification. The minimum pulse width of
the RTC signal should be greater than 2× the period of the MPX clock. That is, minimum clock high time
is 2 × tMPX, and minimum clock low time is 2 × tMPX. There is no minimum RTC frequency; RTC may be
grounded if not needed.

(ports 3 and 4) is no more than 100 ps.

4.4 Platform Frequency Requirements for PCI-Express and Serial

RapidIO
The MPX platform clock frequency must be considered for proper operation of the high-speed PCI
Express and Serial RapidIO interfaces as described below.
For proper PCI Express operation, the MPX clock frequency must be greater than or equal to:
527 MHz x (PCI-Express link width)
16 / (1 + cfg_plat_freq)

RESET Initialization

Note that at MPX = 400 MHz, cfg_plat_freq = 0 and at MPX > 400 MHz, cfg_plat_freq = 1. Therefore,
when operating PCI Express in x8 link width, the MPX platform frequency must be 400 MHz with
cfg_plat_freq = 0 or greater than or equal to 527 MHz with cfg_plat_freq = 1.
For proper Serial RapidIO operation, the MPX clock frequency must be greater than or equal to:
2 × (0.8512) × (Serial RapidIO interface frequency) × (Serial RapidIO link width)

2. The amount of skew that can be tolerated from MDQS to a corresponding MDQ signal is called tDISKEW.This can be

Note:
1. The symbols used for timing specifications follow the pattern of t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state) (reference)(state) for
inputs and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. Output hold time can be read as DDR timing
(DD) from the rising or falling edge of the reference clock (KH or KL) until the output went invalid (AX or DX). For example,
tDDKHAS symbolizes DDR timing (DD) for the time tMCK memory clock reference (K) goes from the high (H) state until
outputs (A) are setup (S) or output valid time. Also, tDDKLDX symbolizes DDR timing (DD) for the time tMCK memory clock
reference (K) goes low (L) until data outputs (D) are invalid (X) or data output hold time.
2. All MCK/MCK referenced measurements are made from the crossing of the two signals ±0.1 V.
3. ADDR/CMD includes all DDR SDRAM output signals except MCK/MCK, MCS, and MDQ/MECC/MDM/MDQS.
4. Note that tDDKHMH follows the symbol conventions described in note 1. For example, tDDKHMH describes the DDR timing
(DD) from the rising edge of the MCK[n] clock (KH) until the MDQS signal is valid (MH). tDDKHMH can be modified through
control of the DQS override bits (called WR_DATA_DELAY) in the TIMING_CFG_2 register. This will typically be set to the
same delay as the clock adjust in the CLK_CNTL register. The timing parameters listed in the table assume that these 2
parameters have been set to the same adjustment value. See the MPC8641 Integrated Processor Reference Manual for a

Characteristics
The electrical characteristics specified here apply to all gigabit media independent interface (GMII), media
independent interface (MII), ten-bit interface (TBI), reduced gigabit media independent interface
(RGMII), reduced ten-bit interface (RTBI), and reduced media independent interface (RMII) signals
except management data input/output (MDIO) and management data clock (MDC). The RGMII and RTBI
interfaces are defined for 2.5 V, while the GMII and TBI interfaces can be operated at 3.3 or 2.5 V. Whether
the GMII or TBI interface is operated at 3.3 or 2.5 V, the timing is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 standard.
The RGMII and RTBI interfaces follow the Reduced Gigabit Media-Independent Interface (RGMII)
Specification Version 1.3 (12/10/2000). The RMII interface follows the RMII Consortium RMII
Specification Version 1.2 (3/20/1998). The electrical characteristics for MDIO and MDC are specified in
Section 9, “Ethernet Management Interface Electrical Characteristics.”

8.1.1 eTSEC DC Electrical Characteristics

All GMII, MII, TBI, RGMII, RMII and RTBI drivers and receivers comply with the DC parametric
attributes specified in Table 24 and Table 25. The potential applied to the input of a GMII, MII, TBI,
RGMII, RMII or RTBI receiver may exceed the potential of the receiver’s power supply (that is, a GMII
driver powered from a 3.6-V supply driving VOH into a GMII receiver powered from a 2.5-V supply).
Tolerance for dissimilar GMII driver and receiver supply potentials is implicit in these specifications. The
RGMII and RTBI signals are based on a 2.5-V CMOS interface voltage as defined by JEDEC

8.2 FIFO, GMII, MII, TBI, RGMII, RMII, and RTBI AC Timing
Specifications
The AC timing specifications for FIFO, GMII, MII, TBI, RGMII, RMII and RTBI are presented in this
section.

8.2.1 FIFO AC Specifications

The basis for the AC specifications for the eTSEC’s FIFO modes is the double data rate RGMII and RTBI
specifications because they have similar performance and are described in a source-synchronous fashion
like FIFO modes. However, the FIFO interface provides deliberate skew between the transmitted data and
source clock in GMII fashion.
When the eTSEC is configured for FIFO modes, all clocks are supplied from external sources to the
relevant eTSEC interface. That is, the transmit clock must be applied to the eTSECn’s TSECn_TX_CLK,
while the receive clock must be applied to pin TSECn_RX_CLK. The eTSEC internally uses the transmit

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

Freescale Semiconductor 27
Ethernet: Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet (eTSEC), MII Management

clock to synchronously generate transmit data and outputs an echoed copy of the transmit clock back out
onto the TSECn_GTX_CLK pin (while transmit data appears on TSECn_TXD[7:0], for example). It is
intended that external receivers capture eTSEC transmit data using the clock on TSECn_GTX_CLK as a
source- synchronous timing reference. Typically, the clock edge that launched the data can be used, since
the clock is delayed by the eTSEC to allow acceptable set-up margin at the receiver. Note that there is
relationship between the maximum FIFO speed and the platform speed. For more information, see
Section 18.4.2, “Platform to FIFO Restrictions.”
NOTE
The phase between the output clocks TSEC1_GTX_CLK and
TSEC2_GTX_CLK (ports 1 and 2) is no more than 100 ps. The phase
between the output clocks TSEC3_GTX_CLK and TSEC4_GTX_CLK
(ports 3 and 4) is no more than 100 ps.

signals (D) reaching the valid state (V) to state or setup time. Also, tGTKHDX symbolizes GMII transmit timing (GT) with respect
to the tGTX clock reference (K) going to the high state (H) relative to the time date input signals (D) going invalid (X) or hold

Notes:
1. Note that, in general, the clock reference symbol representation for this section is based on the symbols RGT to represent
RGMII and RTBI timing. For example, the subscript of tRGT represents the TBI (T) receive (RX) clock. Note also that the
notation for rise (R) and fall (F) times follows the clock symbol that is being represented. For symbols representing skews,
the subscript is skew (SK) followed by the clock that is being skewed (RGT).
2. This implies that PC board design will require clocks to be routed such that an additional trace delay of greater than 1.5 ns
will be added to the associated clock signal.
3. For 10 and 100 Mbps, tRGT scales to 400 ns ± 40 ns and 40 ns ± 4 ns, respectively.
4. Duty cycle may be stretched/shrunk during speed changes or while transitioning to a received packet's clock domains as
long as the minimum duty cycle is not violated and stretching occurs for no more than three tRGT of the lowest speed
transitioned between.
5. Guaranteed by characterization
6. ±100 ppm tolerance on RX_CLK frequency.

Notes:
1. All outputs are measured from the midpoint voltage of the falling/rising edge of tTCLK to the midpoint of the signal in question.
The output timings are measured at the pins. All output timings assume a purely resistive 50-Ω load (see Figure 32).
Time-of-flight delays must be added for trace lengths, vias, and connectors in the system.
2. The symbols used for timing specifications herein follow the pattern of t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state) (reference)(state)
for inputs and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. For example, tJTDVKH symbolizes JTAG
device timing (JT) with respect to the time data input signals (D) reaching the valid state (V) relative to the tJTG clock
reference (K) going to the high (H) state or setup time. Also, tJTDXKH symbolizes JTAG timing (JT) with respect to the time
data input signals (D) went invalid (X) relative to the tJTG clock reference (K) going to the high (H) state. Note that, in general,
the clock reference symbol representation is based on three letters representing the clock of a particular functional. For rise
and fall times, the latter convention is used with the appropriate letter: R (rise) or F (fall).
3. TRST is an asynchronous level sensitive signal. The setup time is for test purposes only.

Note:
1. The symbols used for timing specifications herein follow the pattern of t(first two letters of functional block)(signal)(state) (reference)(state)
for inputs and t(first two letters of functional block)(reference)(state)(signal)(state) for outputs. For example, tI2DVKH symbolizes I2C timing
(I2) with respect to the time data input signals (D) reach the valid state (V) relative to the tI2C clock reference (K) going to the
high (H) state or setup time. Also, tI2SXKL symbolizes I2C timing (I2) for the time that the data with respect to the start condition
(S) went invalid (X) relative to the tI2C clock reference (K) going to the low (L) state or hold time. Also, tI2PVKH symbolizes I2C
timing (I2) for the time that the data with respect to the stop condition (P) reaching the valid state (V) relative to the tI2C clock
reference (K) going to the high (H) state or setup time. For rise and fall times, the latter convention is used with the appropriate
letter: R (rise) or F (fall).
2. As a transmitter, the MPC8640 provides a delay time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (referred to the Vihmin of the SCL
signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop condition.
When MPC8640 acts as the I2C bus master while transmitting, MPC8640 drives both SCL and SDA. As long as the load on
SCL and SDA are balanced, MPC8640 would not cause unintended generation of Start or Stop condition. Therefore, the 300
ns SDA output delay time is not a concern. If, under some rare condition, the 300 ns SDA output delay time is required for
MPC8640 as transmitter, the following setting is recommended for the FDR bit field of the I2CFDR register to ensure both the
desired I2C SCL clock frequency and SDA output delay time are achieved, assuming that the desired I2C SCL clock frequency
is 400 KHz and the Digital Filter Sampling Rate Register (I2CDFSRR) is programmed with its default setting of 0x10 (decimal
16):

For the detail of I2C frequency calculation, refer to the application note AN2919 “Determining the I2C Frequency Divider Ratio
for SCL.” Note that the I2C Source Clock Frequency is half of the MPX clock frequency for MPC8640.
3. The maximum tI2DXKL has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tI2CL) of the SCL signal.

13 High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

The MPC8640D features two Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) interfaces to be used for high-speed serial
interconnect applications. The SerDes1 interface is dedicated for PCI Express data transfers. The SerDes2
can be used for PCI Express and/or serial RapidIO data transfers.
This section describes the common portion of SerDes DC electrical specifications, which is the DC
requirement for SerDes Reference Clocks. The SerDes data lane’s transmitter and receiver reference
circuits are also shown.

13.1 Signal Terms Definition

The SerDes utilizes differential signaling to transfer data across the serial link. This section defines terms
used in the description and specification of differential signals.

High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

Figure 38 shows how the signals are defined. For illustration purpose, only one SerDes lane is used for
description. The figure shows waveform for either a transmitter output (SDn_TX and SDn_TX) or a
receiver input (SDn_RX and SDn_RX). Each signal swings between A volts and B volts where A > B.

Differential Peak Voltage, VDIFFp = |A - B|

Differential Peak-Peak Voltage, VDIFFpp = 2 × VDIFFp (not shown)

Figure 38. Differential Voltage Definitions for Transmitter or Receiver

Using this waveform, the definitions are as follows. To simplify illustration, the following definitions
assume that the SerDes transmitter and receiver operate in a fully symmetrical differential signaling
environment.
Single-Ended Swing
The transmitter output signals and the receiver input signals SDn_TX, SDn_TX,
SDn_RX and SDn_RX each have a peak-to-peak swing of A – B volts. This is also
referred as each signal wire’s single-ended swing.
Differential Output Voltage, VOD (or Differential Output Swing):
The differential output voltage (or swing) of the transmitter, VOD, is defined as the
difference of the two complimentary output voltages: VSDn_TX – VSDn_TX. The
VOD value can be either positive or negative.
Differential Input Voltage, VID (or Differential Input Swing):
The differential input voltage (or swing) of the receiver, VID, is defined as the
difference of the two complimentary input voltages: VSDn_RX – VSDn_RX. The
VID value can be either positive or negative.
Differential Peak Voltage, VDIFFp
The peak value of the differential transmitter output signal or the differential
receiver input signal is defined as differential peak voltage, VDIFFp = |A – B| volts.
Differential Peak-to-Peak, VDIFFp-p
Since the differential output signal of the transmitter and the differential input
signal of the receiver each range from A – B to –(A – B) volts, the peak-to-peak
value of the differential transmitter output signal or the differential receiver input

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

58 Freescale Semiconductor
 High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

signal is defined as differential peak-to-peak voltage,

VDIFFp-p = 2 × VDIFFp = 2 × |(A – B)| volts, which is twice of differential swing in
amplitude, or twice of the differential peak. For example, the output differential
peak-peak voltage can also be calculated as VTX-DIFFp-p = 2 × |VOD|.
Differential Waveform
The differential waveform is constructed by subtracting the inverting signal
(SDn_TX, for example) from the non-inverting signal (SDn_TX, for example)
within a differential pair. There is only one signal trace curve in a differential
waveform. The voltage represented in the differential waveform is not referenced
to ground. Refer to Figure 47 as an example for differential waveform.
Common Mode Voltage, Vcm
The common mode voltage is equal to one half of the sum of the voltages between
each conductor of a balanced interchange circuit and ground. In this example, for
SerDes output, Vcm_out = (VSDn_TX + VSDn_TX) ÷ 2 = (A + B) ÷ 2, which is the
arithmetic mean of the two complimentary output voltages within a differential
pair. In a system, the common mode voltage may often differ from one
component’s output to the other’s input. Sometimes, it may be even different
between the receiver input and driver output circuits within the same component.
It is also referred as the DC offset in some occasion.
To illustrate these definitions using real values, consider the case of a current mode logic (CML)
transmitter that has a common mode voltage of 2.25 V and each of its outputs, TD and TD, has a swing
that goes between 2.5 V and 2.0 V. Using these values, the peak-to-peak voltage swing of each signal (TD
or TD) is 500 mV p-p, which is referred as the single-ended swing for each signal. In this example, since
the differential signaling environment is fully symmetrical, the transmitter output’s differential swing
(VOD) has the same amplitude as each signal’s single-ended swing. The differential output signal ranges
between 500 mV and –500 mV, in other words, VOD is 500 mV in one phase and –500 mV in the other
phase. The peak differential voltage (VDIFFp) is 500 mV. The peak-to-peak differential voltage (VDIFFp-p)
is 1000 mV p-p.

13.2 SerDes Reference Clocks

The SerDes reference clock inputs are applied to an internal PLL whose output creates the clock used by
the corresponding SerDes lanes. The SerDes reference clocks inputs are SDn_REF_CLK and
SDn_REF_CLK for PCI Express and Serial RapidIO.
The following sections describe the SerDes reference clock requirements and some application
information.

13.2.1 SerDes Reference Clock Receiver Characteristics

Figure 39 shows a receiver reference diagram of the SerDes reference clocks.
• The supply voltage requirements for XVDD_SRDSn are specified in Table 1 and Table 2.
• SerDes Reference Clock Receiver Reference Circuit Structure
— The SDn_REF_CLK and SDn_REF_CLK are internally AC-coupled differential inputs as
shown in Figure 39. Each differential clock input (SDn_REF_CLK or SDn_REF_CLK) has a
50-Ω termination to SGND followed by on-chip AC-coupling.
— The external reference clock driver must be able to drive this termination.
— The SerDes reference clock input can be either differential or single-ended. Refer to the
Differential Mode and Single-ended Mode description below for further detailed requirements.
• The maximum average current requirement that also determines the common mode voltage range
— When the SerDes reference clock differential inputs are DC coupled externally with the clock
driver chip, the maximum average current allowed for each input pin is 8 mA. In this case, the
exact common mode input voltage is not critical as long as it is within the range allowed by the
maximum average current of 8 mA (refer to the following bullet for more detail), since the
input is AC-coupled on-chip.
— This current limitation sets the maximum common mode input voltage to be less than 0.4 V
(0.4 V ÷ 50 = 8 mA) while the minimum common mode input level is 0.1 V above SGND. For
example, a clock with a 50/50 duty cycle can be produced by a clock driver with output driven
by its current source from 0 mA to 16 mA (0–0.8 V), such that each phase of the differential
input has a single-ended swing from 0 V to 800 mV with the common mode voltage at 400 mV.
— If the device driving the SDn_REF_CLK and SDn_REF_CLK inputs cannot drive 50 Ω to
SGND DC, or it exceeds the maximum input current limitations, then it must be AC-coupled
off-chip.
• The input amplitude requirement
— This requirement is described in detail in the following sections.

13.2.2 DC Level Requirement for SerDes Reference Clocks

The DC level requirement for the MPC8640D SerDes reference clock inputs is different depending on the
signaling mode used to connect the clock driver chip and SerDes reference clock inputs as described
below.
• Differential Mode
— The input amplitude of the differential clock must be between 400 mV and 1600 mV
differential peak-peak (or between 200 mV and 800 mV differential peak). In other words,
each signal wire of the differential pair must have a single-ended swing less than 800 mV and
greater than 200 mV. This requirement is the same for both external DC-coupled or
AC-coupled connection.
— For external DC-coupled connection, as described in section 13.2.1, the maximum average
current requirements sets the requirement for average voltage (common mode voltage) to be
between 100 mV and 400 mV. Figure 40 shows the SerDes reference clock input requirement
for DC-coupled connection scheme.
— For external AC-coupled connection, there is no common mode voltage requirement for the
clock driver. Since the external AC-coupling capacitor blocks the DC level, the clock driver
and the SerDes reference clock receiver operate in different command mode voltages. The
SerDes reference clock receiver in this connection scheme has its common mode voltage set to
SGND. Each signal wire of the differential inputs is allowed to swing below and above the
command mode voltage (SGND). Figure 41 shows the SerDes reference clock input
requirement for AC-coupled connection scheme.
• Single-ended Mode
— The reference clock can also be single-ended. The SDn_REF_CLK input amplitude
(single-ended swing) must be between 400 mV and 800 mV peak-peak (from Vmin to Vmax)
with SDn_REF_CLK either left unconnected or tied to ground.
— The SDn_REF_CLK input average voltage must be between 200 and 400 mV. Figure 42 shows
the SerDes reference clock input requirement for single-ended signaling mode.
— To meet the input amplitude requirement, the reference clock inputs might need to be DC or
AC-coupled externally. For the best noise performance, the reference of the clock could be DC
or AC-coupled into the unused phase (SDn_REF_CLK) through the same source impedance as
the clock input (SDn_REF_CLK) in use.

13.2.3 Interfacing With Other Differential Signaling Levels

The following list explains characteristics of interfacing with other differential signaling levels.
• With on-chip termination to SGND, the differential reference clocks inputs are HCSL (high-speed
current steering logic) compatible DC-coupled.
• Many other low voltage differential type outputs like LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) can
be used but may need to be AC-coupled due to the limited common mode input range allowed (100
to 400 mV) for DC-coupled connection.
• LVPECL outputs can produce signal with too large amplitude. It may need to be DC-biased at
clock driver output first and followed with series attenuation resistor to reduce the amplitude, in
addition to AC-coupling.

NOTE
Figure 43–Figure 46 are for conceptual reference only. Due to the
differences in the clock driver chip’s internal structure, output impedance,
and termination requirements among various clock driver chip

from one vendor to the other. Therefore, Freescale Semiconductor can
neither provide the optimal clock driver reference circuits, nor guarantee the
correctness of the following clock driver connection reference circuits. The

Figure 45 shows the SerDes reference clock connection reference circuits for LVPECL type clock driver.
Since LVPECL driver’s DC levels (both common mode voltages and output swing) are incompatible with
MPC8640D SerDes reference clock input’s DC requirement, AC-coupling has to be used. Figure 45
assumes that the LVPECL clock driver’s output impedance is 50 Ω. R1 is used to DC-bias the LVPECL
outputs prior to AC-coupling. Its value could be ranged from 140 Ω to 240 Ω depending on clock driver
vendor’s requirement. R2 is used together with the SerDes reference clock receiver’s 50-Ω termination
resistor to attenuate the LVPECL output’s differential peak level such that it meets the MPC8640D SerDes
reference clock’s differential input amplitude requirement (between 200 mV and 800 mV differential
peak). For example, if the LVPECL output’s differential peak is 900 mV and the desired SerDes reference
clock input amplitude is selected as 600 mV, the attenuation factor is 0.67, which requires R2 = 25 Ω.

13.2.4 AC Requirements for SerDes Reference Clocks

The clock driver selected should provide a high quality reference clock with low phase noise and
cycle-to-cycle jitter. Phase noise less than 100 kHz can be tracked by the PLL and data recovery loops and
is less of a problem. Phase noise above 15 MHz is filtered by the PLL. The most problematic phase noise

High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI)

occurs in the 1–15 MHz range. The source impedance of the clock driver should be 50 Ω to match the
transmission line and reduce reflections which are a source of noise to the system.

4. Matching applies to the rising edge rate for SDn_REF_CLK and falling edge rate for SDn_REF_CLK. It is measured using a
200 mV window centered on the median cross point where SDn_REF_CLK rising meets SDn_REF_CLK falling. The median
cross point is used to calculate the voltage thresholds the oscilloscope is to use for the edge rate calculations. The rising edge
rate of SDn_REF_CLK should be compared to the falling edge rate of SDn_REF_CLK, and the maximum allowed difference
should not exceed 20% of the slowest edge rate. See Figure 48.

14.4.2 Transmitter Compliance Eye Diagrams

The Tx eye diagram in Figure 50 is specified using the passive compliance/test measurement load (see
Figure 52) in place of any real PCI Express interconnect + Rx component.
There are two eye diagrams that must be met for the transmitter. Both eye diagrams must be aligned in
time using the jitter median to locate the center of the eye diagram. The different eye diagrams will differ
in voltage depending whether it is a transition bit or a de-emphasized bit. The exact reduced voltage level
of the de-emphasized bit will always be relative to the transition bit.
The eye diagram must be valid for any 250 consecutive UIs.
A recovered Tx UI is calculated over 3500 consecutive unit intervals of sample data. The eye diagram is
created using all edges of the 250 consecutive UI in the center of the 3500 UI used for calculating the TX
UI.
NOTE
It is recommended that the recovered Tx UI is calculated using all edges in
the 3500 consecutive UI interval with a fit algorithm using a minimization
merit function (that is, least squares and median deviation fits).

1. No test load is necessarily associated with this value.
2. Specified at the measurement point and measured over any 250 consecutive UIs. The test load in Figure 52 should be used
as the Rx device when taking measurements (also refer to the Receiver compliance eye diagram shown in Figure 51). If the
clocks to the Rx and Tx are not derived from the same reference clock, the Tx UI recovered from 3500 consecutive UI must
be used as a reference for the eye diagram.
3. A TRX-EYE = 0.40 UI provides for a total sum of 0.60 UI deterministic and random jitter budget for the transmitter and
interconnect collected any 250 consecutive UIs. The TRX-EYE-MEDIAN-to-MAX-JITTER specification ensures a jitter distribution in
which the median and the maximum deviation from the median is less than half of the total. UI jitter budget collected over any
250 consecutive Tx UIs. It should be noted that the median is not the same as the mean. The jitter median describes the point
in time where the number of jitter points on either side is approximately equal as opposed to the averaged time value. If the
clocks to the Rx and Tx are not derived from the same reference clock, the Tx UI recovered from 3500 consecutive UI must
be used as the reference for the eye diagram.
4. The receiver input impedance shall result in a differential return loss greater than or equal to 15 dB with the D+ line biased to
300 mV and the D– line biased to –300 mV and a common mode return loss greater than or equal to 6 dB (no bias required)
over a frequency range of 50 MHz to 1.25 GHz. This input impedance requirement applies to all valid input levels. The
reference impedance for return loss measurements for is 50 Ω to ground for both the D+ and D– line (that is, as measured by
a vector network analyzer with 50-Ω probes, see Figure 52). Note that the series capacitors CTX is optional for the return loss
measurement.
5. Impedance during all LTSSM states. When transitioning from a fundamental reset to detect (the initial state of the LTSSM)
there is a 5 ms transition time before receiver termination values must be met on all unconfigured lanes of a port.
6. The Rx DC common mode impedance that exists when no power is present or fundamental reset is asserted. This helps
ensure that the receiver detect circuit will not falsely assume a receiver is powered on when it is not. This term must be
measured at 300 mV above the Rx ground.
7. It is recommended that the recovered Tx UI is calculated using all edges in the 3500 consecutive UI interval with a fit algorithm
using a minimization merit function. Least squares and median deviation fits have worked well with experimental and simulated
data.

14.5 Receiver Compliance Eye Diagrams

The Rx eye diagram in Figure 51 is specified using the passive compliance/test measurement load (see
Figure 52) in place of any real PCI Express Rx component.
Note that in general, the minimum receiver eye diagram measured with the compliance/test measurement
load (see Figure 52) is larger than the minimum receiver eye diagram measured over a range of systems at
the input receiver of any real PCI Express component. The degraded eye diagram at the input receiver is
due to traces internal to the package as well as silicon parasitic characteristics which cause the real PCI
Express component to vary in impedance from the compliance/test measurement load. The input receiver
eye diagram is implementation specific and is not specified. A Rx component designer should provide

Freescale Semiconductor 73
PCI Express

additional margin to adequately compensate for the degraded minimum Rx eye diagram (shown in
Figure 51) expected at the input receiver based on some adequate combination of system simulations and
the return loss measured looking into the Rx package and silicon. The Rx eye diagram must be aligned in
time using the jitter median to locate the center of the eye diagram.
The eye diagram must be valid for any 250 consecutive UIs.
A recovered TX UI is calculated over 3500 consecutive unit intervals of sample data. The eye diagram is
created using all edges of the 250 consecutive UI in the center of the 3500 UI used for calculating the TX
UI.
NOTE
The reference impedance for return loss measurements is 50Ω to ground for
both the D+ and D– line (that is, as measured by a vector network analyzer
with 50-Ω probes—see Figure 52). Note that the series capacitors, CTX, are

15 Serial RapidIO
This section describes the DC and AC electrical specifications for the RapidIO interface of the MPC8640,
for the LP-Serial physical layer. The electrical specifications cover both single and multiple-lane links.
Two transmitter types (short run and long run) on a single receiver are specified for each of three baud
rates, 1.25, 2.50, and 3.125 GBaud.
Two transmitter specifications allow for solutions ranging from simple board-to-board interconnect to
driving two connectors across a backplane. A single receiver specification is given that will accept signals
from both the short run and long run transmitter specifications.
The short run transmitter specifications should be used mainly for chip-to-chip connections on either the
same printed circuit board or across a single connector. This covers the case where connections are made
to a mezzanine (daughter) card. The minimum swings of the short run specification reduce the overall
power used by the transceivers.
The long run transmitter specifications use larger voltage swings that are capable of driving signals across
backplanes. This allows a user to drive signals across two connectors and a backplane. The specifications
allow a distance of at least 50 cm at all baud rates.
All unit intervals are specified with a tolerance of ± 100 ppm. The worst case frequency difference between
any transmit and receive clock will be 200 ppm.
To ensure interoperability between drivers and receivers of different vendors and technologies, AC
coupling at the receiver input must be used.

15.3 Signal Definitions

LP-Serial links use differential signaling. This section defines terms used in the description and
specification of differential signals. Figure 53 shows how the signals are defined. The figures show
waveforms for either a transmitter output (TD and TD) or a receiver input (RD and RD). Each signal
swings between A volts and B volts where A > B. Using these waveforms, the definitions are as follows:
1. The transmitter output signals and the receiver input signals TD, TD, RD and RD each have a
peak-to-peak swing of A – B volts
2. The differential output signal of the transmitter, VOD, is defined as VTD – VTD
3. The differential input signal of the receiver, VID, is defined as VRD – VRD
4. The differential output signal of the transmitter and the differential input signal of the receiver
each range from A – B to –(A – B) volts

To illustrate these definitions using real values, consider the case of a current mode logic (CML)
transmitter that has a common mode voltage of 2.25 V and each of its outputs, TD and TD, has a swing
that goes between 2.5 V and 2.0 V. Using these values, the peak-to-peak voltage swing of the signals TD
and TD is 500 mV p-p. The differential output signal ranges between 500 mV and –500 mV. The peak
differential voltage is 500 mV. The peak-to-peak differential voltage is 1000 mV p-p.

15.4 Equalization
With the use of high speed serial links, the interconnect media causes degradation of the signal at the
receiver. Effects such as inter-symbol interference (ISI) or data-dependent jitter are produced. This loss
can be large enough to degrade the eye opening at the receiver beyond what is allowed in the specification.
To negate a portion of these effects, equalization can be used. The most common equalization techniques
that can be used are:
• A passive high pass filter network placed at the receiver, often referred to as passive equalization.
• The use of active circuits in the receiver, often referred to as adaptive equalization.

15.5 Explanatory Note on Transmitter and Receiver Specifications

AC electrical specifications are given for transmitter and receiver. Long run and short run interfaces at
three baud rates (a total of six cases) are described.
The parameters for the AC electrical specifications are guided by the XAUI electrical interface specified
in clause 47 of IEEE 802.3ae-2002.
XAUI has similar application goals to the serial RapidIO interface. The goal of this standard is that
electrical designs for the serial RapidIO interface can reuse electrical designs for XAUI, suitably modified
for applications at the baud intervals and reaches described herein.

15.6 Transmitter Specifications

LP-Serial transmitter electrical and timing specifications are stated in the text and Table 52 through
Table 57.
The differential return loss, S11, of the transmitter in each case shall be better than
• –10 dB for (Baud Frequency)/10 < Freq(f) < 625 MHz
• –10 dB + 10log(f/625 MHz) dB for 625 MHz ≤ Freq(f) ≤ Baud Frequency
The reference impedance for the differential return loss measurements is 100-Ω resistive. Differential
return loss includes contributions from on-chip circuitry, chip packaging and any off-chip components
related to the driver. The output impedance requirement applies to all valid output levels.
It is recommended that the 20%–80% rise/fall time of the transmitter, as measured at the transmitter output,
in each case have a minimum value 60 ps.
It is recommended that the timing skew at the output of an LP-Serial transmitter between the two signals
that comprise a differential pair not exceed 25 ps at 1.25 GB, 20 ps at 2.50 GB and 15 ps at 3.125 GB.

15.9 Measurement and Test Requirements

Since the LP-Serial electrical specification are guided by the XAUI electrical interface specified in clause
47 of IEEE 802.3ae-2002, the measurement and test requirements defined here are similarly guided by
clause 47. In addition, the CJPAT test pattern defined in Annex 48A of IEEE802.3ae-2002 is specified as
the test pattern for use in eye pattern and jitter measurements. Annex 48B of IEEE802.3ae-2002 is
recommended as a reference for additional information on jitter test methods.

15.9.1 Eye Template Measurements

For the purpose of eye template measurements, the effects of a single-pole high pass filter with a 3 dB point
at (Baud Frequency) ÷ 1667 is applied to the jitter. The data pattern for template measurements is the
continuous jitter test pattern (CJPAT) defined in Annex 48A of IEEE802.3ae. All lanes of the LP-Serial
link shall be active in both the transmit and receive directions, and opposite ends of the links shall use
asynchronous clocks. Four lane implementations shall use CJPAT as defined in Annex 48A. Single lane
implementations shall use the CJPAT sequence specified in Annex 48A for transmission on lane 0. The
amount of data represented in the eye shall be adequate to ensure that the bit error ratio is less than 10-12.
The eye pattern shall be measured with AC coupling and the compliance template centered at 0 V
differential. The left and right edges of the template shall be aligned with the mean zero crossing points of
the measured data eye. The load for this test shall be 100-Ω resistive ± 5% differential to 2.5 GHz.

15.9.2 Jitter Test Measurements

For the purpose of jitter measurement, the effects of a single-pole high pass filter with a 3 dB point at (Baud
Frequency) ÷ 1667 is applied to the jitter. The data pattern for jitter measurements is the continuous jitter
test pattern (CJPAT) pattern defined in Annex 48A of IEEE802.3ae. All lanes of the LP-Serial link shall
be active in both the transmit and receive directions, and opposite ends of the links shall use asynchronous
clocks. Four lane implementations shall use CJPAT as defined in Annex 48A. Single lane implementations
shall use the CJPAT sequence specified in Annex 48A for transmission on lane 0. Jitter shall be measured
with AC coupling and at 0 V differential. Jitter measurement for the transmitter (or for calibration of a jitter
tolerance setup) shall be performed with a test procedure resulting in a BER curve such as that described
in Annex 48B of IEEE802.3ae.

15.9.3 Transmit Jitter

Transmit jitter is measured at the driver output when terminated into a load of 100-Ω resistive ± 5%
differential to 2.5 GHz.

15.9.4 Jitter Tolerance

Jitter tolerance is measured at the receiver using a jitter tolerance test signal. This signal is obtained by first
producing the sum of deterministic and random jitter defined in Section 15.7, “Receiver Specifications,”
and then adjusting the signal amplitude until the data eye contacts the six points of the minimum eye
opening of the receive template shown in Figure 56 and Table 62.Note that for this to occur, the test signal
must have vertical waveform symmetry about the average value and have horizontal symmetry (including
jitter) about the mean zero crossing. Eye template measurement requirements are as defined above.

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

86 Freescale Semiconductor
 Package

Random jitter is calibrated using a high pass filter with a low frequency corner at 20 MHz and a 20
dB/decade roll-off below this. The required sinusoidal jitter specified in Section 15.7, “Receiver
Specifications,” is then added to the signal and the test load is replaced by the receiver being tested.

Name1 Package Pin Number Pin Type Power Supply Notes

Note:
1. Multi-pin signals such as D1_MDQ[0:63] and D2_MDQ[0:63] have their physical package pin numbers listed in order
corresponding to the signal names.
2. Stub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL-18 and SSTL-25) type pins.
3. If a DDR port is not used, it is possible to leave the related power supply (Dn_GVDD, Dn_MVREF) turned off at reset. Note
that these power supplies can only be powered up again at reset for functionality to occur on the DDR port.
4. Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) type pins.
5. Low Voltage Transistor-Transistor Logic (LVTTL) type pins.
6. This pin is a reset configuration pin and appears again in the Reset Configuration Signals section of this table. See the Reset
Configuration Signals section of this table for config name and connection details.
7. Recommend a weak pull-up resistor (1–10 kΩ) be placed from this pin to its power supply.
8. Recommend a weak pull-down resistor (2–10 kΩ) be placed from this pin to ground.
9. This multiplexed pin has input status in one mode and output in another
10. This pin is a multiplexed signal for different functional blocks and appears more than once in this table.
11. This pin is open drain signal.
12. Functional only on the MPC8640D.
13. These pins should be left floating.
14. These pins should be connected to SVDD.
15. These pins should be pulled to ground with a strong resistor (270-Ω to 330-Ω).
16. These pins should be connected to OVDD.
17.This is a SerDes PLL/DLL digital test signal and is only for factory use.
18. This is a SerDes PLL/DLL analog test signal and is only for factory use.
19. This pin should be pulled to ground with a 100-Ω resistor.
20. The pins in this section are reset configuration pins. Each pin has a weak internal pull-up P-FET which is enabled only when
the processor is in the reset state. This pull-up is designed such that it can be overpowered by an external 4.7-kΩ pull-down
resistor. However, if the signal is intended to be high after reset, and if there is any device on the net which might pull down
the value of the net at reset, then a pullup or active driver is needed.
21. Should be pulled down at reset if platform frequency is at 400 MHz.
22. These pins require 4.7-kΩ pull-up or pull-down resistors and must be driven as they are used to determine PLL configuration
ratios at reset.
23. This output is actively driven during reset rather than being released to high impedance during reset.
24 These JTAG pins have weak internal pull-up P-FETs that are always enabled.
25. This pin should NOT be pulled down (or driven low) during reset.
26.These are test signals for factory use only and must be pulled up (100-Ω to 1- kΩ.) to OVDD for normal machine operation.
27. Dn_MDIC[0] should be connected to ground with an 18-Ω resistor ± 1-Ω and Dn_MDIC[1] should be cLonnected Dn_GVDD
with an 18-Ω resistor ± 1-Ω. These pins are used for automatic calibration of the DDR IOs.
28. Pin N18 is recommended as a reference point for determining the voltage of VDD_PLAT and is hence considered as the
VDD_PLAT sensing voltage and is called SENSEVDD_PLAT.
29. Pin P18 is recommended as the ground reference point for SENSEVDD_PLAT and is called SENSEVSS_PLAT.
30.This pin should be pulled to ground with a 200-Ω resistor.
31.These pins are connected to the power/ground planes internally and may be used by the core power supply to improve
tracking and regulation.
32. Must be tied low if unused
33. These pins may be used as defined functional reset configuration pins in the future. Please include a resistor pull-up/down
option to allow flexibility of future designs.

For example, if the platform frequency is 500 MHz, the FIFO Tx/Rx clock frequency should be no
more than 119 MHz.
For FIFO encoded mode:

19.2 Thermal Management Information

This section provides thermal management information for the high coefficient of thermal expansion
(HCTE) package for air-cooled applications. Proper thermal control design is primarily dependent on the
system-level design—the heat sink, airflow, and thermal interface material. The MPC8640 implements
several features designed to assist with thermal management, including the temperature diode. The
temperature diode allows an external device to monitor the die temperature in order to detect excessive
temperature conditions and alert the system; see Section 19.2.4, “Temperature Diode,” for more
information.
To reduce the die-junction temperature, heat sinks are required. Due to the potential large mass of the heat
sink, attachment through the printed-circuit board is suggested. In any implementation of a heat sink
solution, the force on the die should not exceed ten pounds force (45 newtons). Figure 59 shows a spring

Ultimately, the final selection of an appropriate heat sink depends on many factors, such as thermal
performance at a given air velocity, spatial volume, mass, attachment method, assembly, and cost.

19.2.1 Internal Package Conduction Resistance

For the exposed-die packaging technology described in Table 71, the intrinsic conduction thermal
resistance paths are as follows:
• The die junction-to-case thermal resistance (the case is actually the top of the exposed silicon die)
• The die junction-to-board thermal resistance
Figure 60 depicts the primary heat transfer path for a package with an attached heat sink mounted to a
printed-circuit board.

110 Freescale Semiconductor
 Thermal

Heat generated on the active side of the chip is conducted through the silicon, then the heat sink attach
material (or thermal interface material), and finally to the heat sink where it is removed by forced-air
convection.
Because the silicon thermal resistance is quite small, the temperature drop in the silicon may be neglected
for a first-order analysis. Thus the thermal interface material and the heat sink conduction/convective
thermal resistances are the dominant terms.

19.2.2 Thermal Interface Materials

A thermal interface material is recommended at the package-to-heat sink interface to minimize the thermal
contact resistance. Figure 61 shows the thermal performance of three thin-sheet thermal-interface
materials (silicone, graphite/oil, floroether oil), a bare joint, and a joint with thermal grease as a function
of contact pressure. As shown, the performance of these thermal interface materials improves with
increasing contact pressure. The use of thermal grease significantly reduces the interface thermal
resistance. That is, the bare joint results in a thermal resistance approximately seven times greater than the
thermal grease joint.
Often, heat sinks are attached to the package by means of a spring clip to holes in the printed-circuit board
(see Figure 59). Therefore, synthetic grease offers the best thermal performance, considering the low
interface pressure, and is recommended due to the high power dissipation of the MPC8640. Of course, the
selection of any thermal interface material depends on many factors—thermal performance requirements,
manufacturability, service temperature, dielectric properties, cost, and so on.

The following section provides a heat sink selection example using one of the commercially available heat
sinks.

19.2.3 Heat Sink Selection Example

For preliminary heat sink sizing, the die-junction temperature can be expressed as follows:
Tj = Ti + Tr + (RθJC + Rθint + Rθsa) × Pd
where:
Tj is the die-junction temperature
Ti is the inlet cabinet ambient temperature
Tr is the air temperature rise within the computer cabinet
RθJC is the junction-to-case thermal resistance
Rθint is the adhesive or interface material thermal resistance
Rθsa is the heat sink base-to-ambient thermal resistance
Pd is the power dissipated by the device

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

112 Freescale Semiconductor
 Thermal

During operation, the die-junction temperatures (Tj) should be maintained less than the value specified in
Table 2. The temperature of air cooling the component greatly depends on the ambient inlet air temperature
and the air temperature rise within the electronic cabinet. An electronic cabinet inlet-air temperature (Ti)
may range from 30 to 40 °C. The air temperature rise within a cabinet (Tr) may be in the range of
5 to 10 °C. The thermal resistance of the thermal interface material (Rθint) is typically about 0.2 °C/W. For
example, assuming a Ti of 30 °C, a Tr of 5 °C, a package RθJC = 0.1, and a typical power consumption (Pd)
of 43.4 W, the following expression for Tj is obtained:
Die-junction temperature: Tj = 30 °C + 5 °C + (0.1 °C/W + 0.2 °C/W + θsa) × 43.4 W
For this example, a Rθsavalue of 1.32 °C/W or less is required to maintain the die junction temperature
below the maximum value of Table 2.
Though the die junction-to-ambient and the heat sink-to-ambient thermal resistances are a common
figure-of-merit used for comparing the thermal performance of various microelectronic packaging
technologies, one should exercise caution when only using this metric in determining thermal management
because no single parameter can adequately describe three-dimensional heat flow. The final die-junction
operating temperature is not only a function of the component-level thermal resistance, but the
system-level design and its operating conditions. In addition to the component's power consumption, a
number of factors affect the final operating die-junction temperature—airflow, board population (local
heat flux of adjacent components), heat sink efficiency, heat sink placement, next-level interconnect
technology, system air temperature rise, altitude, and so on.
Due to the complexity and variety of system-level boundary conditions for today's microelectronic
equipment, the combined effects of the heat transfer mechanisms (radiation, convection, and conduction)
may vary widely. For these reasons, we recommend using conjugate heat transfer models for the board as
well as system-level designs.
For system thermal modeling, the MPC8640 thermal model is shown in Figure 62. Four cuboids are used
to represent this device. The die is modeled as 12.4 × 15.3 mm at a thickness of 0.86 mm. See Section 3,
“Power Characteristics,” for power dissipation details. The substrate is modeled as a single block
33×33×1.2 mm with orthotropic conductivity: 13.5 W/(m • K) in the xy-plane and 5.3 W/(m • K) in the
z-direction. The die is centered on the substrate. The bump/underfill layer is modeled as a collapsed
thermal resistance between the die and substrate with a conductivity of 5.3 W/(m • K) in the thickness
dimension of 0.07 mm. Because the bump/underfill is modeled with zero physical dimension (collapsed
height), the die thickness was slightly enlarged to provide the correct height. The C5 solder layer is
modeled as a cuboid with dimensions 33x33x0.4 mm and orthotropic thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/(m
• K) in the xy-plane and 9.6 W/(m • K) in the z-direction. An LGA solder layer would be modeled as a
collapsed thermal resistance with thermal conductivity of 9.6W/(m • K) and an effective height of 0.1 mm.

19.2.4 Temperature Diode

The MPC8640 has a temperature diode on the microprocessor that can be used in conjunction with other
system temperature monitoring devices (such as Analog Devices, ADT7461™). These devices use the
negative temperature coefficient of a diode operated at a constant current to determine the temperature of
the microprocessor and its environment. It is recommended that each device be individually calibrated.
The following are the specifications of the MPC8640 on-board temperature diode:
Vf > 0.40 V
Vf < 0.90 V

An approximate value of the ideality may be obtained by calibrating the device near the expected operating
temperature.
Ideality factor is defined as the deviation from the ideal diode equation:

qVf
___
Ifw = Is e nKT – 1

Another useful equation is:

KT I
VH – VL = n __ ln __
H
q IL

Where:
Ifw = Forward current
Is = Saturation current
Vd = Voltage at diode
Vf = Voltage forward biased
VH = Diode voltage while IH is flowing
VL = Diode voltage while IL is flowing
IH = Larger diode bias current
IL = Smaller diode bias current
q = Charge of electron (1.6 x 10 –19 C)
n = Ideality factor (normally 1.0)
K = Boltzman’s constant (1.38 x 10–23 Joules/K)
T = Temperature (Kelvins)
The ratio of IH to IL is usually selected to be 10:1. The above simplifies to the following:

VH – VL = 1.986 × 10–4 × nT

Solving for T, the equation becomes:

20 System Design Information

This section provides electrical and thermal design recommendations for successful application of the
MPC8640.

20.1 System Clocking

This device includes six PLLs, as follows:
• The platform PLL generates the platform clock from the externally supplied SYSCLK input. The
frequency ratio between the platform and SYSCLK is selected using the platform PLL ratio
configuration bits as described in Section 18.2, “MPX to SYSCLK PLL Ratio.”
• The dual e600 Core PLLs generate the e600 clock from the externally supplied input.
• The local bus PLL generates the clock for the local bus.
• There are two internal PLLs for the SerDes block.

20.2 Power Supply Design and Sequencing

This section describes the power supply design and sequencing.

20.2.1 PLL Power Supply Filtering

Each of the PLLs listed in Section 20.1, “System Clocking,” is provided with power through independent
power supply pins.
There are a number of ways to reliably provide power to the PLLs, but the recommended solution is to
provide independent filter circuits per PLL power supply as illustrated in Figure 64, one to each of the
AVDD type pins. By providing independent filters to each PLL the opportunity to cause noise injection
from one PLL to the other is reduced.
This circuit is intended to filter noise in the PLLs resonant frequency range from a 500 kHz to 10 MHz
range. It should be built with surface mount capacitors with minimum Effective Series Inductance (ESL).
Consistent with the recommendations of Dr. Howard Johnson in High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook
of Black Magic (Prentice Hall, 1993), multiple small capacitors of equal value are recommended over a
single large value capacitor.
Each circuit should be placed as close as possible to the specific AVDD type pin being supplied to minimize
noise coupled from nearby circuits. It should be possible to route directly from the capacitors to the AVDD
type pin, which is on the periphery of the footprint, without the inductance of vias.
Figure 63 and Figure 64 show the PLL power supply filter circuits for the platform and cores, respectively.

The AVDD_SRDSn signals provide power for the analog portions of the SerDes PLL. To ensure stability
of the internal clock, the power supplied to the PLL is filtered using a circuit similar to the one shown in
following figure. For maximum effectiveness, the filter circuit is placed as closely as possible to the
AVDD_SRDSn balls to ensure it filters out as much noise as possible. The ground connection should be
near the AVDD_SRDSn balls. The 0.003-µF capacitor is closest to the balls, followed by the two 2.2-µF
capacitors, and finally the 1-Ω resistor to the board supply plane. The capacitors are connected from
AVDD_SRDSn to the ground plane. Use ceramic chip capacitors with the highest possible self-resonant
frequency. All traces should be kept short, wide, and direct.

20.2.2 PLL Power Supply Sequencing

For details on power sequencing for the AVDD type and supplies refer to Section 2.2, “Power-Up/Down
Sequence.”

20.3 Decoupling Recommendations

Due to large address and data buses, and high operating frequencies, the device can generate transient
power surges and high frequency noise in its power supply, especially while driving large capacitive loads.
This noise must be prevented from reaching other components in the MPC8640 system, and the device
itself requires a clean, tightly regulated source of power. Therefore, it is recommended that the system

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

designer place at least one decoupling capacitor at each OVDD, Dn_GVDD, LVDD, TVDD, VDD_Coren,
and VDD_PLAT pin of the device. These decoupling capacitors should receive their power from separate
OVDD, Dn_GVDD, LVDD, TVDD, VDD_Coren, and VDD_PLAT and GND power planes in the PCB,
utilizing short traces to minimize inductance. Capacitors may be placed directly under the device using a
standard escape pattern. Others may surround the part.
These capacitors should have a value of 0.01 or 0.1 µF. Only ceramic SMT (surface mount technology)
capacitors should be used to minimize lead inductance, preferably 0402 or 0603 sizes.
In addition, it is recommended that there be several bulk storage capacitors distributed around the PCB,
feeding the OVDD, Dn_GVDD, LVDD, TVDD, VDD_Coren, and VDD_PLAT planes, to enable quick
recharging of the smaller chip capacitors. They should also be connected to the power and ground planes
through two vias to minimize inductance. Suggested bulk capacitors—100–330 µF (AVX TPS tantalum
or Sanyo OSCON).

20.4 SerDes Block Power Supply Decoupling Recommendations

The SerDes block requires a clean, tightly regulated source of power (SVDD and XVDD_SRDSn) to ensure
low jitter on transmit and reliable recovery of data in the receiver. An appropriate decoupling scheme is
outlined below.
Only surface mount technology (SMT) capacitors should be used to minimize inductance. Connections
from all capacitors to power and ground should be done with multiple vias to further reduce inductance.
• First, the board should have at least 10 × 10-nF SMT ceramic chip capacitors as close as possible
to the supply balls of the device. Where the board has blind vias, these capacitors should be placed
directly below the chip supply and ground connections. Where the board does not have blind vias,
these capacitors should be placed in a ring around the device as close to the supply and ground
connections as possible.
• Second, there should be a 1-µF ceramic chip capacitor on each side of the device. This should be
done for all SerDes supplies.
• Third, between the device and any SerDes voltage regulator there should be a 10-µF, low
equivalent series resistance (ESR) SMT tantalum chip capacitor and a 100-µF, low ESR SMT
tantalum chip capacitor. This should be done for all SerDes supplies.

20.5 Connection Recommendations

To ensure reliable operation, it is highly recommended to connect unused inputs to an appropriate signal
level. In general all unused active low inputs should be tied to OVDD, Dn_GVDD, LVDD, TVDD,
VDD_Coren, and VDD_PLAT, XVDD_SRDSn, and SVDD as required and unused active high inputs should
be connected to GND. All NC (no-connect) signals must remain unconnected.
The following list explains the special cases:
• DDR—If one of the DDR ports is not being used the power supply pins for that port can be
connected to ground so that there is no need to connect the individual unused inputs of that port to
ground. Note that these power supplies can only be powered up again at reset for functionality to
occur on the DDR port. Power supplies for other functional buses should remain powered.

 System Design Information

• Local Bus—If parity is not used, tie LDP[0:3] to ground via a 4.7-kΩ resistor, tie LPBSE to OVDD
via a 4.7-kΩ resistor (pull-up resistor). For systems which boot from Local Bus
(GPCM)-controlled flash, a pull-up on LGPL4 is required.
• SerDes—Receiver lanes configured for PCI Express are allowed to be disconnected (as would
occur when a PCI Express slot is connected but not populated). Directions for terminating the
SerDes signals is discussed in Section 20.5.1, “Guidelines for High-Speed Interface Termination.”

20.5.1 Guidelines for High-Speed Interface Termination

This section provides the guidelines for high-speed interface termination.

20.5.1.1 SerDes Interface

The high-speed SerDes interface can be disabled through the POR input cfg_io_ports[0:3] and through the
DEVDISR register in software. If a SerDes port is disabled through the POR input the user cannot enable
it through the DEVDISR register in software. However, if a SerDes port is enabled through the POR input
the user can disable it through the DEVDISR register in software. Disabling a SerDes port through
software should be done on a temporary basis. Power is always required for the SerDes interface, even if
the port is disabled through either mechanism. Table 72 describes the possible enabled/disabled scenarios
for a SerDes port. The termination recommendations must be followed for each port.
Table 72. SerDes Port Enabled/Disabled Configurations

Disabled Through POR Input Enabled Through POR Input

SerDes port is disabled (and cannot SerDes port is enabled

be enabled through DEVDISR)
Enabled through DEVDISR Partial termination may be required1
Complete termination required (Reference Clock is required)
(Reference Clock not required)
SerDes port is disabled (through SerDes port is disabled after software
POR input) disables port
Disabled through DEVDISR
Complete termination required Same termination requirements as when the
(Reference Clock not required) port is enabled through POR input2
(Reference Clock is required)
Note:
1
Partial Termination when a SerDes port is enabled through both POR input and DEVDISR is determined by the SerDes
port mode. If the port is in ×8 PCI Express mode, no termination is required because all pins are being used. If the port
is in ×1/×2/×4 PCI Express mode, termination is required on the unused pins. If the port is in ×4 serial RapidIO mode,
termination is required on the unused pins.
2 If a SerDes port is enabled through the POR input and then disabled through DEVDISR, no hardware changes are

required. Termination of the SerDes port should follow what is required when the port is enabled through both POR
input and DEVDISR. See Note 1 for more information.

If the high-speed SerDes port requires complete or partial termination, the unused pins should be
terminated as described in this section.

The following pins must be left unconnected (floating):

• SDn_TX[7:0]
• SDn_TX[7:0]
The following pins must be connected to GND:

It is recommended to power down the unused lane through SRDS1CR1[0:7]
register (offset = 0xE_0F08) and SRDS2CR1[0:7] register
(offset = 0xE_0F44.) (This prevents the oscillations and holds the receiver
output in a fixed state.) that maps to SERDES lane 0 to lane 7 accordingly.
For other directions on reserved or no-connects pins see Section 17, “Signal Listings.”

20.6 Pull-Up and Pull-Down Resistor Requirements

The MPC8640 requires weak pull-up resistors (2–10 kΩ is recommended) on all open drain type pins.
The following pins must not be pulled down during power-on reset: TSEC4_TXD[4], LGPL0/LSDA10,
LGPL1/LSDWE, TRIG_OUT/READY, and D1_MSRCID[2].
The following are factory test pins and require strong pull-up resistors (100Ω –1 kΩ) to OVDD
LSSD_MODE, TEST_MODE[0:3].The following pins require weak pull-up resistors (2–10 kΩ) to their
specific power supplies: LCS[0:4], LCS[5]/DMA_DREQ2, LCS[6]/DMA_DACK[2],
LCS[7]/DMA_DDONE[2], IRQ_OUT, IIC1_SDA, IIC1_SCL, IIC2_SDA, IIC2_SCL, and
CKSTP_OUT.
The following pins should be pulled to ground with a 100-Ω resistor: SD1_IMP_CAL_TX,
SD2_IMP_CAL_TX. The following pins should be pulled to ground with a 200-Ω resistor:
SD1_IMP_CAL_RX, SD2_IMP_CAL_RX
TSECn_TX_EN signals require an external 4.7-kΩ pull down resistor to prevent PHY from seeing a valid
Transmit Enable before it is actively driven.
When the platform frequency is 400 MHz, TSEC1_TXD[1] must be pulled down at reset.
TSEC2_TXD[4] and TSEC2_TX_ER pins function as cfg_dram_type[0 or 1] at reset and MUST BE
VALID BEFORE HRESET ASSERTION when coming out of device sleep mode.

core device. This includes all the balls for VDD_Core1 and SENSEVDD_Core1 which exist on the
package for the dual core device, but not on the single core package. A solder ball is present for

 System Design Information

SENSEVSS_Core1 and needs to be connected to ground with a weak (2–10 kΩ) pull down resistor.
Likewise, AVDD_Core1 needs to be pulled to ground as shown in Figure 64.
The mechanical drawing for the single core device is located in Section 16.2, “Mechanical Dimensions of
the MPC8640 FC-CBGA.”
For other pin pull-up or pull-down recommendations of signals, please see Section 17, “Signal Listings.”

20.7 Output Buffer DC Impedance

The MPC8640 drivers are characterized over process, voltage, and temperature. For all buses, the driver
is a push-pull single-ended driver type (open drain for I2C).
To measure Z0 for the single-ended drivers, an external resistor is connected from the chip pad to OVDD
or GND. Then, the value of each resistor is varied until the pad voltage is OVDD/2 (see Figure 66). The
output impedance is the average of two components, the resistances of the pull-up and pull-down devices.
When data is held high, SW1 is closed (SW2 is open) and RP is trimmed until the voltage at the pad equals
OVDD/2. RP then becomes the resistance of the pull-up devices. RP and RN are designed to be close to each
other in value. Then, Z0 = (RP + RN) ÷ 2.

System Design Information

20.8 Configuration Pin Muxing

The MPC8640 provides the user with power-on configuration options which can be set through the use of
external pull-up or pull-down resistors of 4.7 kΩ on certain output pins (see customer visible configuration
pins). These pins are generally used as output only pins in normal operation.
While HRESET is asserted however, these pins are treated as inputs. The value presented on these pins
while HRESET is asserted, is latched when HRESET deasserts, at which time the input receiver is disabled
and the I/O circuit takes on its normal function. Most of these sampled configuration pins are equipped
with an on-chip gated resistor of approximately 20 kΩ. This value should permit the 4.7-kΩ resistor to pull
the configuration pin to a valid logic low level. The pull-up resistor is enabled only during HRESET (and
for platform/system clocks after HRESET deassertion to ensure capture of the reset value). When the input
receiver is disabled, the pull-up is also, thus allowing functional operation of the pin as an output with
minimal signal quality or delay disruption. The default value for all configuration bits treated this way has
been encoded such that a high voltage level puts the device into the default state and external resistors are
needed only when non-default settings are required by the user.
Careful board layout with stubless connections to these pull-down resistors coupled with the large value
of the pull-down resistor should minimize the disruption of signal quality or speed for output pins thus
configured.
The platform PLL ratio and e600 PLL ratio configuration pins are not equipped with these default pull-up
devices.

20.9 JTAG Configuration Signals

Correct operation of the JTAG interface requires configuration of a group of system control pins as
demonstrated in Figure 68. Care must be taken to ensure that these pins are maintained at a valid deasserted
state under normal operating conditions as most have asynchronous behavior and spurious assertion will
give unpredictable results.
Boundary-scan testing is enabled through the JTAG interface signals. The TRST signal is optional in the
IEEE 1149.1 specification, but is provided on all processors that implement the Power Architecture
technology. The device requires TRST to be asserted during reset conditions to ensure the JTAG boundary
logic does not interfere with normal chip operation. 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. Because the JTAG interface is also used for accessing
the common on-chip processor (COP) function, simply tying TRST to HRESET is not practical.
The COP function of these 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
port connects primarily through the JTAG interface 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 67 allows the COP port to independently assert HRESET or TRST,
while ensuring that the target can drive HRESET as well.

MPC8640 and MPC8640D Integrated Host Processor Hardware Specifications, Rev. 4

122 Freescale Semiconductor
 System Design Information

The COP interface has a standard header, shown in Figure 67, for connection to the target system, and is
based on the 0.025" square-post, 0.100" centered header assembly (often called a Berg header). The
connector typically has pin 14 removed as a connector key.
The COP header adds many benefits such as breakpoints, watchpoints, register and memory
examination/modification, and other standard debugger features. An inexpensive option can be to leave
the COP header unpopulated until needed.
There is no standardized way to number the COP header shown in Figure 67; consequently, many different
pin numbers have been observed from emulator vendors. Some are numbered top-to-bottom then
left-to-right, while others use left-to-right then top-to-bottom, while still others number the pins counter
clockwise from pin 1 (as with an IC). Regardless of the numbering, the signal placement recommended in
Figure 67 is common to all known emulators.
For a multi-processor non-daisy chain configuration, Figure 68, can be duplicated for each processor. The
recommended daisy chain configuration is shown in Figure 69. Please consult with your tool vendor to
determine which configuration is supported by their emulator.

20.9.1 Termination of Unused Signals

If the JTAG interface and COP header will not be used, Freescale recommends the following connections:
• TRST should be tied to HRESET through a 0 kΩ isolation resistor so that it is asserted when the
system reset signal (HRESET) is asserted, ensuring that the JTAG scan chain is initialized during
the power-on reset flow. Freescale recommends that the COP header be designed into the system
as shown in Figure 68. If this is not possible, the isolation resistor will allow future access to TRST
in case a JTAG interface may need to be wired onto the system in future debug situations.
• Tie TCK to OVDD through a 10 kΩ resistor. This will prevent TCK from changing state and
reading incorrect data into the device.
• No connection is required for TDI, TMS, or TDO.
