A High Performance LSI Digital Signal Processor for Communication

This paper describes a newly developed CMOS LSI DSP (FDSP3). It has a powerful multiplier, which operates at a rate of 10 M-operations/s, almost twice as fast as the fastest existing LSI DSPs. Some key techniques to attain these high performance characteristics of the DSP are described. Suitable memory capacities of the RAM and ROM were analyzed as a function of the operational capability of the DSP. These were reflected in the design of the FDSP3. To assist in the development of the program, support tools have been developed. A Pascal based cross compiler and an on-line debugging tool are described in some detail.

On the Design of a High-Performance LSI Circuit Digital Signal Processor for Communication

This paper describes the design of a highly efficient CMOS LSI circuit digital signal processor (FDSP3). To realize an operating cycle rate of 10 MHz and a throughput rate of 0.6 μs per second-order filter section, considerable care has been paid to the design of software structures and hardware circuitry. Basic program routines and some application examples are also shown. These examples illustrate the high efficiency of the developed DSP device.

An NMOS operational amplifier for an output buffer of analog LSIs

The amplifier contains three gain stages to achieve the overall gain of 70 dB and a buffer stage to drive a capacitance of 200 pF. A monolithic NMOS 10-bit D/A converter including this amplifier as an output buffer has exhibited 10-bit absolute linearity.
