Abstract

An alternative approach for embedded system processor architecture is presented. Methods to evaluate and define the modules within such a processor are discussed. Three examples of new embedded system processors from the National Semiconductors 32000/EP family are described. These are: the integrated system processor NS32CG160 developed for laser beam printer applications; the embedded system processor NS32GX320 for laser/FAX applications; and the imaging signal processor NS532FX16 designed for Group 3 FAX machines. Integration of system components and improved internal organization should deliver better solutions for the embedded application designer
