초록

This paper describes the design and implementation of an application specific instruction-set processor developed for embedded DSP applications. The instruction-set has an uniform size of 16 bits, and supports 3 types of instructions: Primitive, Complex, and Specific. To reduce code size and cycle count we introduce complex instructions that can be selected according to the application under consideration, which leads to 50% code size reduction maximally. The processor has two independent data memories to double the data throughput and the address space. The processor is synthesized by 0.6$\mu$m single-poly double-metal technology. Critical path simulation shows that the maximum frequency is 110MHz and total gate count is 132, 000.
