ST10R272L - MULTIPLY-ACCUMULATE UNIT (MAC)

Accumulator shifter

The Accumulator shifter is a parallel shifter with a 40-bit input and a 40-bit output. The source

operand of the shifter is the Accumulator and the possible shifting operations are:

•

No shift (Unmodified)

•

Up to 8-bit Arithmetic Left Shift

•

Up to 8-bit Arithmetic Right Shift

E, SV and SL bits from MSW are affected by Left shifts, therefore if the saturation mechanism

is enabled (MS), the behavior is similar to the one of the arithmetic unit. The carry flag C is

also affected by left shifts.

Repeat unit

The MAC includes a repeat unit allowing the repetition of some co-processor instructions up

to 213 (8192) times. The repeat count may be specified either by an immediate value (up to 31

times) or by the content of the Repeat Count (bits 12 to 0) in the MAC Repeat Word (MRW). If

the Repeat Count equals “N” the instruction will be executed “N+1” times. At each iteration of

a cumulative instruction the Repeat Count is tested for zero. If it is zero the instruction is

terminated else the Repeat Count is decremented and the instruction is repeated. During

such a repeat sequence, the Repeat Flag in MRW is set until the last execution of the

repeated instruction.

The syntax of repeated instructions is shown in the following examples:

In example 1, the instruction is repeated according to a 5-bit immediate value. The Repeat

Count in MRW is automatically loaded with this value minus one (MRW=23).

In this example, the instruction is repeated according to the Repeat Count in MRW. Notice that

due to the pipeline processing at least one instruction should be inserted between the write of

MRW and the next repeated instruction.

Repeat sequences may be interrupted. When an interrupt occurs during a repeat sequence,

the sequence is stopped and the interrupt routine is executed. The repeat sequence resumes

at the end of the interrupt routine. During the interrupt, MR remains set, indicating that a

repeated instruction has been interrupted and the Repeat Count holds the number (minus 1)
