many as three input operands and outputs one 56-bit result of the following form: extension:most
significant product:least significant product (EXT:MSP:LSP).
The multiplier executes 24-bit
signed, unsigned, or mixed operands. The 48-bit product is right-justified and added to the 56-bit
contents of either the A or B accumulator. A 56-bit result can be stored as a 24-bit operand. The
LSP is either truncated or rounded into the MSP. Rounding is performed if specified.
1.6.2 Address Generation Unit (AGU)
The AGU performs the effective address calculations using integer arithmetic necessary to
address data operands in memory and contains the registers that generate the addresses. It
implements four types of arithmetic: linear, modulo, multiple wrap-around modulo, and
reverse-carry. The AGU operates in parallel with other chip resources to minimize
address-generation overhead.
The AGU is divided into halves, each with its own identical address ALU. Each address ALU has
four sets of register triplets, and each register triplet includes an address register, offset register,
and modifier register. Each contains a 24-bit full adder (called an offset adder). A second full
adder (called a modulo adder) adds the summed result of the first full adder to a modulo value
that is stored in its respective modifier register. A third full adder (called a reverse-carry adder) is
also provided. The offset adder and the reverse-carry adder work in parallel and share common
inputs. The only difference between them is that the carry propagates in opposite directions. Test
logic determines which of the three summed results of the full adders is output.
Each address ALU can update one address register from its own address register file during one
instruction cycle. The contents of the associated modifier register specify the type of arithmetic
used in the address register update calculation. The modifier value is decoded in the address
ALU.
1.6.3 Program Control Unit (PCU)
The PCU fetches and decodes instructions, controls hardware DO loops, and processes
exceptions. Its seven-stage pipeline controls the different processing states of the DSP56300
core. The PCU consists of three hardware blocks:
Freescale Semiconductor
Program decode controller. Decodes the 24-bit instruction loaded into the instruction
latch and generates all signals for pipeline control.
Program address generator. Contains all the hardware needed for program address
generation, system stack, and loop control.
Program interrupt controller. Arbitrates among all interrupt requests (internal interrupts,
as well as the five external requests
appropriate interrupt vector address.
