4 PROGRAM SEQUENCER
In the ADSP-BF535 processor, the Program Sequencer controls program
flow, constantly providing the address of the next instruction to be exe-
cuted by other parts of the ADSP-BF535 processor. Program flow in the
chip is mostly linear, with the processor executing program instructions
sequentially.
The linear flow varies occasionally when the program uses nonsequential
program structures, such as those illustrated in
Figure 4-1
. Nonsequential
structures direct the ADSP-BF535 processor to execute an instruction that
is not at the next sequential address. These structures include:
•
Loops.
One sequence of instructions executes several times with
zero overhead.
•
Subroutines.
The processor temporarily interrupts sequential flow
to execute instructions from another part of memory.
•
Jumps.
Program flow transfers permanently to another part of
memory.
•
Interrupts and Exceptions.
A runtime event or instruction triggers
the execution of a subroutine.
•
Idle
. An instruction causes the processor to stop operating and
hold its current state until an interrupt occurs. Then, the processor
services the interrupt and continues normal execution.
