PIC32MX330/350/370/430/450/470
3.0 CPU
The the MIPS32
®
M4K
®
Processor Core is the heart of
the PIC32MX330/350/370/430/450/470 device proces
-
sor. The CPU fetches instructions, decodes each
instruction, fetches source operands, executes each
instruction and writes the results of instruction
execution to the proper destinations.
3.1 Features
• 5-stage pipeline
• 32-bit address and data paths
• MIPS32
®
Enhanced Architecture (Release 2):
- Multiply-accumulate and multiply-subtract
instructions
- Targeted multiply instruction
- Zero/One detect instructions
- WAIT instruction
- Conditional move instructions (MOVN, MOVZ)
- Vectored interrupts
- Programmable exception vector base
- Atomic interrupt enable/disable
- GPR shadow registers to minimize latency
for interrupt handlers
- Bit field manipulation instructions
• MIPS16e
®
Code Compression:
- 16-bit encoding of 32-bit instructions to
improve code density
- Special PC-relative instructions for efficient
loading of addresses and constants
- SAVE and RESTORE macro instructions for
setting up and tearing down stack frames
within subroutines
- Improved support for handling 8 and 16-bit
data types
• Simple Fixed Mapping Translation (FMT)
Mechanism:
• Simple Dual Bus Interface:
- Independent 32-bit address and data buses
- Transactions can be aborted to improve
interrupt latency
• Autonomous Multiply/Divide Unit (MDU):
- Maximum issue rate of one 32x16 multiply
per clock
- Maximum issue rate of one 32x32 multiply
every other clock
- Early-in iterative divide. Minimum 11 and
maximum 33 clock latency (dividend (rs) sign
extension-dependent)
• Power Control:
- Minimum frequency: 0 MHz
- Low-Power mode (triggered by WAIT instruction)
- Extensive use of local gated clocks
• EJTAG Debug and Instruction Trace:
- Support for single stepping
- Virtual instruction and data address/value
-Breakpoints
