1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The TX7901 MIPS RISC microcontroller is a highly integrated solution based on Toshiba’s
dual-issue super-scalar pipeline Processor Core, the C790 (henceforth referred to as “the
C790”). The C790 has a 128-bit internal architecture featuring MIPS ISA support and
additional instruction enhancements specially developed for embedded applications.
The TX7901 is a new generation MIPS processor solution offering high performance, high
bandwidth and high integration, utilizing Toshiba's Computer-On-Silicon concept. This class
of product is targeted for applications that require a high-performance, cost-effective solution
such as networking, printers, and set-top boxes.
