Design, Implementation and Application of a Digital Signal Processor

This thesis discusses the implementation of a digital signal processor (DSP), including the DSP core and the peripheral interfaces. The DSP core includes three parallel computational units (arithmetic/logic unit, multiplier/accumulator, and barrel shifter), two independent data address generators, and a powerful program sequencer. The I/O designs provide two kinds of interfaces: serial ports and direct memory access (DMA) ports. The DMA contains two modes: full memory mode and host mode. To reduce power consumption in the instruction memory access, we add an instruction buffer for nested loops where the instructions in a loop are fetched only once and then put into the instruction buffer to be used in the subsequent iterations. The DSP implementation has passed the verification procedures both in the front-end synthesis by Synopsys Design Compiler and the back-end post-layout simulation by Nanosim. Furthermore, some benchmark DSP application programs such as FFT, FIR, and DCT are executed on the implemented DSP core.
