Motorola 68030

The Motorola 68030 is a 32 -bit microprocessor Motorola 68000 family with an integrated PMMU. The processor implements the Harvard architecture. He was a processor for gaming consoles, personal computers and home computers.

The from 273,000 transistors ( 68EC030: 251,000 ) existing 68030 is a successor to the Motorola 68020, however additionally has 256 bytes of Level -1 data cache, was available in higher clock rates up to 50 MHz and dominates the burst mode for the memory access. At 50 MHz 68030 managed about 18 MIPS. Were available models 16, 20, 25, 33, 40 and 50 MHz.

For use came the Motorola 68030 in many computers of the late 1980s and early 1990s: Amiga 3000, Amiga 4000, Apple Macintosh SE/30, Apple Macintosh IIx, Apple Macintosh IIfx, Apple Macintosh IIci, Apple Macintosh IIcx, Apple Macintosh Iivi, Apple Macintosh IIvx, Atari TT, Atari Falcon, Apollo / domain, HP 9000, NeXTcube (only the older version ), Sun series 3
