MIPS32® 74K™ Core
|
The MIPS32® 74K™ core family are the industry's first fully synthesizable processors to exceed 1 GHz performance in a standard 65nm process, using generic, commercially-available standard cells, memories and EDA design flows. The 74K core family is based on MIPS Technologies’ superscalar microarchitecture with out- of-order instruction dispatch.
The innovative embedded microarchitecture also incorporates the MIPS® DSP Application Specific Extension (ASE) Rev2. These instructions, coupled with a dual -issue 74K microarchitecture, dramatically boost signal processing performance up to 60% when compared to RISC implementations with the original DSP ASE in previous generation architectures. The distinguishing feature of the 74K family is that it provides all the essential advantages for high-performance SoC design, while significantly reducing overall die area, cost, and power consumption.
The 74K core family is supported by a robust suite of software development tools, the MIPS DSP Library, and a third party DSP applications network. This enables SoC designers to work in a single design environment and significantly lower system costs by migrating DSP functionality onto a 74K core. The core IP is available in versions with (74Kf core) or without (74Kc core) floating point unit support.
The 74K core family is well suited for applications requiring increased processing power, including HD DVD, H.264, 802.11n, WiMAX and Blu-ray Disc.
