Product details
Overview
IDT79RC64V474-180DZ from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a 64-bit RISCore4000-based embedded microprocessor operating at 180 MHz, featuring 16KB instruction and 16KB data caches, 32-bit external bus interface, and MIPS-III ISA compliance. It delivers 237 Dhrystone MIPS and 94 MFLOPS, supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and targets internetworking equipment and Windows® CE–based systems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ datasheet, IDT79RC64V474-180DZ pinout, IDT79RC64V474-180DZ application, or IDT79RC64V474-180DZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 128-pin QFP package, 3.3V core/I/O, JTAG boundary-scan support, RC4640-compatible pinout, and SyncDRAM timing protocol implementation.
Technical Context
The IDT79RC64V474-180DZ implements a streamlined 5-stage scalar pipeline with minimized branch and load delays, and integrates a fully autonomous floating-point unit supporting IEEE 754 single/double precision arithmetic. Its on-chip system control coprocessor (CP0) manages virtual-to-physical address translation via a 96-entry fully associative TLB.
It features two-way set-associative caches with per-set locking capability, a programmable write-address-to-write-data delay (0–7 MasterClock cycles), and boot-time configurable bus width (32-bit only), clock multiplier (×2 to ×8), and endianness. The device uses a 3.3V supply with quiet PLL power rails (VCCP/VSSP) and supports WAIT instruction–driven standby mode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar embedded microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT79RC4640-180DZ | Same 128-pin QFP, 3.3V, 180 MHz; 8KB/8KB caches; no FPU; RC4000-class core (not RISCore4000) | Lacks floating-point unit and 64-bit integer execution - unsuitable for math-intensive firmware | Select when cost-sensitive designs require proven maturity and do not need FPU or cache locking |
| IDT79RC64V475-180DZ | 208-pin QFP; full 64-bit SysAD(63:0); same RISCore4000 core, caches, and FPU; identical 180 MHz speed grade | Requires redesigned PCB layout and wider memory subsystem - not drop-in compatible | Select only when application demands >500 MB/s external bandwidth and 64-bit data-path throughput |
Compared with IDT79RC4640-180DZ, the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ adds FPU, larger caches, and cache locking - justifying upgrade for real-time control. Versus IDT79RC64V475-180DZ, it trades bandwidth for pin-count and BOM simplicity in cost-constrained 32-bit memory systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ?
The IDT79RC64V474-180DZ is rated for a maximum pipeline clock frequency of 180 MHz. This speed grade is achieved using an internal PLL that multiplies a 22.5 MHz MasterClock by ×8. The device's electrical specifications, thermal design, and timing parameters are fully characterized and guaranteed at this frequency across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Does the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ support 64-bit external data transfers?
No, the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ supports only a 32-bit external system interface (SysAD31:0). It is packaged in a 128-pin QFP and explicitly designed as the 32-bit bus variant of the RC64474 family. For 64-bit external data transfers, IDT offers the pin-incompatible IDT79RC64V475-180DZ in a 208-pin QFP package.
Is the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ pin-compatible with the RC4640?
Yes, the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ is 100% pin-compatible and socket-compatible with the IDT79RC4640-180DZ. Both use the same 128-pin QFP footprint, identical pin functions, and share the same 32-bit bus protocol - enabling direct hardware replacement without PCB modification.
What debug and test interfaces does the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ provide?
The IDT79RC64V474-180DZ provides full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support via dedicated pins (TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS, TRST*, JTAG32*), enabling structural testing of solder joints and interconnects. It also supports serial boot-mode configuration (ModeClock/ModeIn) and asynchronous interrupt-driven debugging through its six maskable Int*(5:0) lines and NMI* input.
Can the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ operate in big-endian mode?
Yes, the IDT79RC64V474-180DZ supports both little-endian and big-endian data ordering. Endianness is configured at boot time via bit 8 (EndBit) in the serial mode configuration stream. When EndBit = 1, the processor operates in big-endian mode; when EndBit = 0, it operates in little-endian mode - matching standard MIPS-III behavior.
