Preliminary Data Sheet
440GR – PPC440GR Embedded Processor
Signal Descriptions
The PPC440GR embedded controller is packaged in a 456-ball enhanced plastic ball grid array (E-PBGA). The
following tables describe the package level pinout.
function. Active-low signals (for example, RAS) are marked with an overline. Please see
“Signals ListedMultiplexed Signals
Some signals are multiplexed on the same pin so that the pin can be used for different functions. In most cases,
the signal names shown in this table are not accompanied by signal names that may be multiplexed on the same
pin. If you need to know what, if any, signals are multiplexed with a particular signal, look up the name in
“Signalsprogrammed to serve the same function. The flexibility of multiplexing allows a single chip to offer a richer pin
selection than would otherwise be possible. The circuit type for multiplexed signals is shown as “Multiplex.” The
actual circuit type is the same as the primary signal.
Note: Signals multiplexed wit GPIO default to GPIO receivers and float after reset. Initialization software must
configure the GPIO registers for the desired function as described in the GPIO chapter of the User’s Manual. Any
of these signals requiring a particular state prior to running initialization code must be terminated with pull ups or
pull downs.
Multipurpose Signals
In addition to multiplexing, some pins are also multi-purpose. For example, the EBC peripheral controller address
pins (PerAddr) are used as outputs by the PPC440GR to broadcast an address to external slave devices when the
PPC440GR has control of the external bus. When during the course of normal chip operation an external master
gains ownership of the external bus, these same pins are used as inputs which are driven by the external master
and received by the EBC in the PPC440GR. In this example, the pins are also bidirectional, serving both as inputs
