23542A/0-September 2000 Preliminary Information AMD-K6™-2E+ Embedded Processor Data Sheet 1.1 AMD-K6™-2E+ Embedded Processor Features The innovative AMD-K6-2E+ processor brings industry-leading performance to embedded systems. Its Super7™ platform-compatible, 321-pin ceramic pin grid array (CPGA) or 349-ball organic ball grid array (OBGA) package enables embedded system designers to reduce time-to-market by leveraging today's cost-effective, industry-standard infrastructure. Manufactured using AMD's 0.18 micron low-power process, the AMD-K6-2E+ processor incorporates the innovative and efficient RISC86® microarchitecture, a 192-Kbyte total internal cache, a fast 100 MHz frontside bus, and a powerful IEEE 754-compatible and 854-compatible floating-point execution unit. The AMD-K6-2E+ processor also incorporates a superscalar MMX™ unit and AMD's innovative 3DNow! technology for high-performance multimedia and 3D graphics operation. The AMD-K6-2E+ processor is a functionally compatible embedded version of the AMD-K6-2+ processor with an internal 128-Kbyte L2 cache. The AMD-K6-2E+ processor offers a clock-for-clock performance boost at a lower total system cost over existing Socket 7 systems because no external L2 cache is required. The low-power versions of the AMD-K6-2E+ processor also support AMD's enhanced power management features, called AMD PowerNow! technology. The AMD-K6-2E+ processor is part of the AMD-K6E family of embedded processors. Within this family: s The AMD-K6-2E processor provides the best value and performance for costsensitive embedded applications. s The AMD-K6-2E+ with its 128-Kbyte internal L2 cache offers higher performance balanced with cost. s The AMD-K6-IIIE+ with its 256-Kbyte internal L2 cache offers the highest performance available for Super7 and Socket 7 platforms. All AMD-K6E family processors in the CPGA package share the same footprint and support the Socket 7-compatible Super7 platform. The AMD-K6E family provides embedded designers with an assured growth plan and supply stability, along with product longevity. All AMD-K6E family processors are x86-binary compatible, allowing preservation of the initial software investment. The AMD-K6-2E+ embedded processor is particularly well-suited for use in applications where high performance is required. It is designed to offer compelling, yet affordable, power and performance for high-end embedded applications, such as information appliances, set-top boxes, embedded PCs, point-of-sale terminals, public and private communications infrastructure, and industrial control.
