e200z6 Core Complex
3.1 Introduction
The core complex of the device consists of the e200z6 core, a 32 KB unified cache memory, a 32-entry 
memory management unit (MMU), a Nexus class 3 block, and a bus interface unit (BIU). The e200z6 core 
is the central processing unit (CPU) in the device. The e200z6 core is part of the family of CPU cores that 
implement versions built on the Power Architecture™ embedded category. 
The host processor core of the device complies with the Power Architecture embedded category, which is 
100 percent user mode compatible with the original Power PC™ user instruction set architecture (UISA). 
However, in the Power Architecture definition, the original floating-point resources (used by a SIMD 
design supporting single-precision vector and single-precision scalar operations) are provided that share 
the GPRs defined for integer instructions.
