Architecture Research and IC Design for Embedded Ultra-Micro Processor
Chen Zhang-jin, Zheming Jin, Meihua Xu, Ran Feng · 2007
In an embedded system design, the mere serial function of a processor is generally used to improve its correctness and decrease the design period without making use of the entire functions of the processor. To reduce the area and the loss of cost-effectiveness brought about by the general processor, a new embedded ultra-micro processor circuit is proposed. It lies between the simplex parallel logic and a general processor. The processor can be easily tailored or expanded according to the design goals and whereby the flexibility and cost performance of the entire system are achieved.
