ADSP-BF535 Blackfin Processor Hardware Reference 2-33
Computational Units
Inputs are treated as fractional or integer, unsigned or two’s-complement.
Multiplier instructions include:
• Multiplication
• Multiply and accumulate with addition, rounding optional
• Multiply and accumulate with subtraction, rounding optional
• Dual versions of the above
Multiplier Operation
Each multiplier has two 32-bit inputs from which it derives the two 16-bit
operands. For single multiply and accumulate instructions, these operands
can be any data registers in the Data Register File. Each multiplier can
accumulate results in its Accumulator register,
A1
or
A0
. The accumulator
results can be saturated to 32 or 40 bits. The multiplier result can also be
written directly to a 16- or 32-bit destination register with optional
rounding.
Each multiplier instruction determines whether the inputs are either both
in integer format or both in fractional format. The format of the result
matches the format of the inputs. In MAC0, both inputs are treated as
signed or unsigned. In MAC1, there is a mixed-mode option.
If both inputs are fractional and signed, the multiplier automatically shifts
the result left one bit to remove the redundant sign bit. Multiplier instruc-
tion options specify the data format of the inputs:
•
FU
for Fractional Unsigned
•
IS
for Integer Signed
•
M
for Mixed signed and unsigned operands
Also available is the
W32
option, which specifies 32-bit saturation of the
accumulation result.
