Product details
Overview
MC7447AHX1167NB from Freescale Semiconductor is a 32-bit PowerPC G4 RISC microprocessor with a 512-Kbyte unified L2 cache, 1.3 V core supply, and 1167 MHz core frequency. It integrates a superscalar core with dual-precision FPU, AltiVec SIMD unit, and hardware-enforced MESI coherency-designed for high-performance networking and embedded computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the MC7447AHX1167NB datasheet, MC7447AHX1167NB pinout, MC7447AHX1167NB application, or MC7447AHX1167NB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1167 MHz operation at 1.3 V ±50 mV, DFS-enabled dynamic frequency switching, integrated temperature diode, and HCTE 360-ball ceramic BGA package compatibility with MPC7447 designs.
Technical Context
The MC7447AHX1167NB implements the full PowerPC 32-bit architecture with a seven-stage pipeline, supporting up to three instructions per cycle dispatch and 16 simultaneous in-flight instructions. Its memory subsystem uses MPX bus protocol and includes separate 32-Kbyte L1 instruction and data caches with PLRU replacement and hardware MESI coherency.
It features dual MMUs (128-entry 2-way TLBs), 512-Kbyte unified L2 cache with 9-cycle L1 miss latency, and dynamic frequency switching that halves core frequency under software control. The processor supports both big- and little-endian modes, JTAG/COP debug interface, and thermal management via on-die temperature diode.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RISC microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC7447AHX1333B | 1333 MHz core, same 1.3 V supply and HCTE package - higher frequency bin with identical feature set | Requires tighter thermal design and higher-power PCB layout; suitable where latency-bound tasks dominate | Select when benchmarked workload shows >12% IPC gain at 1333 MHz and thermal margin permits |
| MPC7448AHX1200B | 1200 MHz core, adds double-precision FPU enhancements and improved L2 prefetch - same 0.13-μm process and pinout | Offers better floating-point throughput for radar signal processing but lacks DFS in early revisions | Prefer for math-intensive applications where thermal diode is secondary to computational accuracy |
Compared with MC7447AHX1167NB, the MPC7447AHX1333B delivers higher deterministic throughput at increased power and thermal cost, while the MPC7448AHX1200B trades DFS for enhanced FPU precision-making MC7447AHX1167NB optimal for thermally constrained, latency-sensitive control-plane deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for MC7447AHX1167NB?
The MC7447AHX1167NB has a maximum tested junction temperature of 105°C under recommended operating conditions. This limit applies during full-power operation at 1167 MHz and 1.3 V core supply. Thermal design must ensure RθJA ≤ 26°C/W on single-layer boards or ≤16°C/W with 200 ft/min airflow to maintain reliability within specification.
Does MC7447AHX1167NB support pin-compatible replacement for MPC7447 designs?
Yes, MC7447AHX1167NB is a footprint-compatible, drop-in replacement for MPC7447 applications when the core power supply is 1.3 V. It retains identical pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface-adding DFS and temperature diode without requiring PCB changes.
What bus protocols does MC7447AHX1167NB implement?
MC7447AHX1167NB implements the MPX bus protocol for main memory and system resource interfacing, along with a subset of the 60x bus protocol. It does not support PCI Express, AMBA, or AXI; interface design must adhere to Freescale's MPX timing and signaling requirements as defined in the hardware specifications document.
How does Dynamic Frequency Switching (DFS) operate in MC7447AHX1167NB?
DFS in MC7447AHX1167NB allows software to halve the core frequency (e.g., from 1167 MHz to 583.5 MHz) while preserving register state and cache contents. It is implemented via PLL_CFG[0:4] register writes and requires no external hardware changes-enabling immediate power reduction in Nap or Sleep modes without system reset.
Is MC7447AHX1167NB RoHS-compliant?
Yes, MC7447AHX1167NB is supplied in a RoHS-compliant 360-ball ceramic BGA (HCTE) package. Freescale documentation explicitly lists "Surface mount RoHS-compliant 360 ceramic ball grid array (HCTE)" as one of the qualified package variants for the MPC7447A family.
