Overview

Description

MC68020RC20E is Motorola’s 68020 32‑bit microprocessor, a second‑generation member of the 68k family. It is a 32‑bit CISC CPU with a 32‑bit data bus, 32‑bit internal registers, and 32‑bit addressing (up to 4 GB). It offers an enhanced instruction set with more flexible addressing modes and a prefetch-based pipeline to improve throughput. The chip can be paired with an external MMU (68051/68851) for virtual memory and with an optional floating‑point unit (68881/68882). The RC20E suffix denotes a specific production/packaging variant (temperature grade) of the part; exact specs (speed, package, etc.) should be checked in the datasheet. This CPU saw use in early Macintosh II systems, Amiga platforms, and various embedded/workstation applications in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Features

Key features of MC68020RC20E (Motorola 68020 family):
- 32-bit core: 32-bit data path, 32-bit registers (D0–D7, A0–A7), and 32-bit address space (up to 4 GB).
- Enhanced execution: pipelined with instruction prefetch and support for long-word operations; richer addressing modes than 68000.
- Memory management: optional external MMU via 68851 for virtual memory, paging, and memory protection.
- Floating-point: no internal FPU; can use external 68881/68882 if required.
- Bus: 32-bit external data and address bus for higher memory bandwidth.
- Compatibility: binary compatible with 68000 software; adds many new instructions and modes.
- Variants: RC20E denotes a specific revision/speed grade within the 68020 family (MHz varies by part).
Notes: No on-chip caches in this model (caches appear with later 68030/68040 variants).

Pinout

- Pin count: 132 pins (in the MC68020RC20E package)
- Function: Motorola 68020 32-bit CISC microprocessor (68k family) with a 32-bit data and 32-bit address bus, capable of running 68000-compatible instructions with enhanced performance; typically used with an external MMU (68851) and supports supervisor/user modes.

Manufacturer
