Reset Value
0 Double-Precision Multiply Mode
Enables four multiply/MAC operations to implement a double-precision
algorithm that multiplies two 48-bit operands with a 96-bit result. Clearing
the DM bit disables the mode.
NOTE: The Double-Precision Multiply mode is supported to maintain object
code compatibility with devices in the DSP56000 family. For a more
efficient way of executing double precision multiply, refer to the chapter on
the Data Arithmetic Logic Unit in the DSP56300 Family Manual .
In Double-Precision Multiply mode, the behavior of the four specific
operations listed in the double-precision algorithm is modified. Therefore,
do not use these operations (with those specific register combinations) in
Double-Precision Multiply mode for any purpose other than the double
precision multiply algorithm. All other Data ALU operations (or the four
listed operations, but with other register combinations) can be used.
The double-precision multiply algorithm uses the Y0 Register at all stages.
Therefore, do not change Y0 when running the double-precision multiply
algorithm. If the Data ALU must be used in an interrupt service routine, Y0
should be saved with other Data ALU registers to be used and restored
before the interrupt routine terminates.
0 Sixteen-Bit Compatibility Mode
Affects addressing functionality, enabling full compatibility with object code
written for the DSP56000 family. When SC is set, MOVE operations to/from
any of the following PCU registers clear the eight MSBs of the destination:
LA, LC, SP, SSL, SSH, EP, SZ, VBA and SC. If the source is either the SR
or OMR, then the eight MSBs of the destination are also cleared. If the
destination is either the SR or OMR, then the eight MSBs of the destination
are left unchanged. To change the value of one of the eight MSBs of the SR
or OMR, clear SC.
SC also affects the contents of the Loop Counter Register. If SC is cleared
(normal operation), then a loop count value of zero causes the loop body to
be skipped, and a loop count value of $FFFFFF causes the loop to execute
the maximum number of 2
value of zero causes the loop to execute 2
of $FFFFFF causes the loop to execute 2
NOTE: Due to pipelining, a change in the SC bit takes effect only after three
instruction cycles. Insert three NOP instructions after the instruction that
changes the value of this bit to ensure proper operation.
0 Reserved. Write to 0 for future compatibility.
