PowerPC 970FX
Preliminary
Table 3-7. Power Consumption for Standard Parts
Note: Maximum power at 85C is the ONLY value that is guaranteed by Manufacturing Test. Values for Maximum @ 105C, Typical
@ 65C, Nap, and Doze are not guaranteed by test. These values are to be used as characterization-based nominal values and are
included for comparison purposes only.
Notes keyed to Table rows:
1. Important: The data in this table are based on the best available simulation data at the time of publication and may
be revised after hardware characterization. Because they have not yet been correlated with production-qualified hardware,
these estimates should only be used as guidelines for design.
2. Maximum power is projected at the nominal V worst case Iddq, and max temperature as specified
DD
3. Voltage tolerance is ± 50mV
4. These are core power only; OV power of 1-3 Watts is not included

3.2 AC Electrical Characteristics
This section provides the AC electrical characteristics for the PowerPC 970FX. After fabrication, parts are
sorted by maximum processor core frequency as shown in Section 3.3 on page 23, and tested for
conformance to the AC specifications for that frequency. The processor core frequency is determined by the
SYSCLK and the settings of the PLL_MULT signal.
This section only describes asynchronous and mode-select inputs and outputs. For bus timing information,
see the PowerPC 970FX Users Manual.
