Note 2
The xx...xx pattern for the non-signaling NaNs indicates any bit pattern.
Note 3
If a register is written with a SNAN using a double precision floating-point move and then the
same register is read using single precision floating-point move the result will be a single preci-
sion SNAN (if the first 23 bits of the fraction are a non-zero pattern) or single precision infinity
(if the first 23 bits of the fraction are a zero pattern).
Note 4
The case when both U-TAG = 1 and V-TAG = 1 is reserved for future use.
D.1.5.1.2
RESULTS OF DATA ALU FLOATING-POINT OPERATIONS
This section describes how the Data ALU floating-point operation results are stored in the Data ALU regis-
ters.
All DSP96002 Data ALU floating-point operations are executed in single extended precision, using single
extended precision input operands, and return single extended or single precision results in double pre-
cision format. The results are formatted in double precision before being stored in the Data ALU registers.
When performing a DP move into a register and then using that register in a DSP96002 SEP floating
point operation, the mantissa of the operand will be first truncated to a SEP value, as the hardware is
unable to operate on more than 32 mantissa bits. Figure C-2 explains how a DP register is used as

mantissa
The 11-bit exponent used by the SEP operating units is identical with the exponent of the original DP
number loaded into the register (both have the same bias, namely $3FF). This means that the number
can be used in computations directly, assuming that the least significant 21 mantissa bits are zero, oth-
erwise a round towards zero occurs because the mantissa is truncated to 32 bits (21 bits of the 52-bit DP
mantissa are ignored).
D.1.5.1.2.1 Results Rounded To SP
Data ALU results are rounded to SP when the instruction is specified with the .S suffix (FMPY.S, FADD.S,
etc.).
