  • Patent number: 5884092
    Abstract: In microcomputers and digital signal processors in which a central processing unit for controlling the entire system and a digital signal processing unit having a product sum function required to process digital signals efficiently are mounted on one and the same chippthis invention prevents an increase in the number of processing steps caused by differing types of data handled by the calculators, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the digital signal processing.The digital signal processing unit is made a calculation unit that handles fixed-point data, and an instruction calling for execution of a fixed-point data calculation is provided separately from the conventional integer calculation instruction.

  • Patent number: 5867726
    Abstract: A built-in memory is divided into the following two types: first memories 5 and 7 and second memories 4 and 6, and made accessible in parallel by third buses XAB and XDB and second buses YAB and YDB respectively. Thereby, a CPU core 2 can simultaneously transfer two data values from the built-in memory to a DSP engine 3. Moreover, the third buses XAB and XDB and the second buses YAB and YDB are also separate from first buses IAB and IDB to be externally interfaced and the CPU core 2 can access an external memory in parallel with the access to the second memories 4 and 6 and the first memories 5 and 7.
