MIPS 24KEc

MIPS 24KEc / MIPS 24KEf

A distinguishing characteristic of the 24KE family is the inclusion of the MIPS DSP

Application Specific Extension (ASE).

The MIPS DSP ASE provides support for a number of powerful data processing operations.

It includes instructions for executing fractional arithmetic (Q15/Q31) and for saturating arithmetic.

Additionally, for smaller data sizes, SIMD operations are supported, allowing 2x16b

or 4x8b operations to occur simultaneously.

Another feature of the ASE is the inclusion of additional HI/LO accumulator registers

to improve the parallelization of independent accumulation routines.

Variants

• MIPS 24KEc is a 32-bit RISC core for high performance applications.
• MIPS 24KEc Pro core offers the CorExtend capability.

(CP0 Status Reg, Bit 17 set for CorExtend block)

• MIPS 24KEf core adds an IEEE-754 compliant floating point unit.

(CP0 Status Reg, Bit 29 set for Floating Point Unit)

• MIPS 24KEf Pro core has both the floating point

unit and the CorExtend capability.

ERRATA

MIPS 24KEc share same erratas with MIPS 24K only with some version offset.
