SMQ320C50
description
The SMJ320C50 digital signal processor (DSP) is a high-performance, 16-bit, fixed-point processor manufactured in 0.72-μm double-level metal CMOS technology. The SMJ320C50 is the first DSP from TI designed as a fully static device. Full-static CMOS design contributes to low power consumption while maintaining high performance, making it ideal for applications such as battery-operated munications systems, satellite systems, and advanced control algorithms.
A number of enhancements to the basic SMJ320C2x architecture give the C50 a minimum 2× performance over the previous generation. A four-deep instruction pipeline, that incorporates delayed branching, delayed call to subroutine, and delayed return from subroutine, allows the C50 to perform instructions in fewer cycles. The addition of a parallel logic unit (PLU) gives the C50 a method for manipulating bits in data memory without using the accumulator and ALU. The C50 has additional shifting and scaling capability for...
