• Manufacturer Part Number: mc68ec060
• Description: Mc68060 Superscalar 68k Microprocessor Including The Lc060 And Ec060
• Manufacturer: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc

The MC68060 supports a demand-paged virtual memory environment. Demand means that
programs request permission to use memory area by accessing logical addresses, and
paged means that memory is divided into blocks of equal size, called page frames. Each
page frame is divided into pages of the same size. The operating system assigns pages to
page frames as they are required to meet the needs of the program.
The MC68060 memory management includes the following features:
SECTION 4
MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT
The MMUs completely overlap address translation time with other processing activities
when the translation is resident in the corresponding ATC. ATC accesses operate in parallel
with indexing into the on-chip instruction and data caches. The MMU MDIS signal dynami-
cally disables address translation for emulation and diagnostic support.
