Abstract :
An application-specific processor for use as the central component for both signal processing and general control tasks of a combined GPS/Loran-C/Omega/MIS navigation receiver is described. It is the first implementation of the transport-triggered Move architecture framework. Vector registers are included to enhance signal processing performance, resulting in a single-cycle multiply-accumulate operation, without compromising scalar performance. The projected clock frequency of this implementation is 125 MHz for a 180000-transistor, 1.6-μm C MOS sea-of-gates chip
