TMS320C6474
Multicore Digital Signal Processor
SPRS552 – OCTOBER 2008
• Instruction Set Enhancements - As noted above, there are new instructions such as 32-bit
multiplications, complex multiplications, packing, sorting, bit manipulation, and 32-bit Galois field
multiplication.
• Exception Handling - Intended to aid the programmer in isolating bugs. The C64x+ CPU is able to
detect and respond to exceptions, both from internally detected sources (such as illegal op-codes) and
from system events (such as watchdog time expiration).
• Privilege - Defines user and supervisor modes of operation, allowing the operating system to give a
basic level of protection to sensitive resources. Local memory is divided into multiple pages, each with
read, write, and execute permissions.
• Time-Stamp Counter - Primarily targeted for real-time operating system (RTOS) robustness, a
free-running time-stamp counter is implemented in the CPU that is not sensitive to system stalls.
