• Motorola MC68030 User's Manual – Motorola's manual for the processor in the 68030 Macintosh models, from the IIx to the LC III. It has the V_CC and GND pin assignments, the maximum ratings, the thermal figures, the ordering table and Motorola's decoupling recommendation (10 µF + 0.1 µF + 330 pF in parallel, as close to the device as possible). The DC and AC electrical specifications are in a separate Motorola document.
