SECTION 6

INSTRUCTION SET AND EXECUTION

6.1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter introduces the DSP96002 instruction set and instruction format. The complete range of in-

struction capabilities combined with the flexible addressing modes described in Chapter 5 provide a very

powerful assembly language for digital signal processing and graphics algorithms. The instruction set has

been designed to allow efficient coding for high-level language compilers and yet be easily programmed in

assembly language.

As indicated by the programming model in Chapter 4, the DSP96002 architecture can be viewed as three

execution units operating in parallel (Data ALU, Address Generation Unit and Program Controller). The

goal of the instruction set is to keep each of these units busy during each instruction cycle. This achieves

maximum throughput and minimum use of program memory.

INSTRUCTION GROUPS

The instruction set is divided into the following groups:

Floating-Point Arithmetic

(38)

Fixed-Point Arithmetic

(30)

Logical

(13)

Bit Manipulation

(4)

Loop

(4)

Move

(9)

Program Control

(35)

Each instruction group is described in the following sections. Detailed information on each of the 133 in-

structions is given in Appendix A.

6.2.1 Floating-Point Arithmetic Instructions

All floating-point arithmetic instructions operate on the 96-bit Data ALU registers. The floating-point arith-

metic instructions are register-based (register direct addressing modes used for operands) and execute

within the Data ALU. This means that the X Data Bus, Y Data Bus and the Global Data Bus are free for

optional parallel move operations. This allows new data to be pre-fetched for use in following instructions

and results calculated by previous instructions to be stored. Floating-point instructions always execute in

a single instruction cycle in the Flush-to-Zero mode. Floating-point instructions execute in a single instruc-
