1.2 ARCHITECTURE
The MPC823e microprocessor uses a dual-processor architecture design approach with
large data and instruction caches to provide high performance using a general-purpose
RISC integer processor and a special-purpose 32-bit scalar RISC communication processor
module. The peripherals are uniquely designed for communication requirements and can
provide embedded signal processing functions for communication and user interface
enhancements and the I/O support needed for high-speed digital communications. The
MPC823e is comprised of four main modules that interface with the 32-bit internal bus:
• The embedded PowerPC core
• The system interface unit
• The communication processor module
• LCD controller
The MPC823e block diagram is illustrated in Figure 1-1.
