PowerPC e200

The PowerPC e200 is a family of 32-bit Power ISA microprocessor cores developed by Freescale for primary use in automotive and industrial control systems.

[1] Continental AG and Freescale are developing SPACE, a tri-core e200 based processor designed for electronic brake systems in cars.

[2] STMicroelectronics and Freescale have jointly developed microcontrollers for automotive applications based on e200 in the MPC56xx/SPC56x family.

The e200z1 has a four-stage, single-issue pipeline with a branch prediction unit and an 8 entry MMU, no cache and no FPU.

The e200z3 has a four-stage, single-issue pipeline with a branch prediction unit, a 16 entry MMU and a SIMD capable FPU.

The e200z4 has a five-stage, dual-issue pipeline with a branch prediction unit, a 16 entry MMU, signal processing extension (SPE), a SIMD capable single precision FPU and a 4 Kilobyte 2/4-way set associative instruction L1 cache (Pseudo round-robin replacement algorithm).

The e200z6 has a seven-stage, single-issue pipeline with a branch prediction unit, a 32 entry MMU, signal processing extensions (SPE), a SIMD capable single-precision FPU and an 8-way set associative 32 KiB unified data/instruction L1 cache.

The e200z7 has a ten-stage, dual-issue pipeline with a branch prediction unit, a 32 entry MMU, a SIMD capable single-precision FPU and 16-KB, 4 way set-associative Harvard instruction and data L1 caches.
