Frugal PowerPC embeds power management features

System developers can rev up the performance of their embedded applications while staying within tight power budgets by using the MPC7447A processor from Motorola.

System developers can rev up the performance of their embedded applications while staying within tight power budgets by using the MPC7447A processor from Motorola.

This high-performance, power-efficient 32bit RISC device, operating in excess of 1.4GHz, is the latest and fastest member of the MPC74xx PowerPC processor family.

The MPC7447A offers developers on-chip power management features, such as the ability to change clock frequencies dynamically.

This capability enables users to change CPU clock speed on the fly and significantly reduce processor power consumption to match pe
