3Hardware Overview
The RM5261 offers a high-level of integration targeted at high-performance embedded
applications. The key elements of the RM5261 are briefly described below.
3.1Superscalar Dispatch
The RM5261 has an asymmetric superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an integer
instruction and a floating-point computation instruction simultaneously. Integer instructions
include alu, branch, load/store, and floating-point load/store, while floating-point computation
instructions include floating-point add, subtract, combined multiply-add, converts, etc. In
combination with its high- throug hput fully pipel ined fl oatin g-p oint exe cutio n unit, the supersc alar
capability of the RM5261 provides unparalleled price/performance in computationally intensive
embedded applications.
3.2CPU Registers
The RM5261 CPU has a simple user-visible state consisting of 32 general purpose registers, two
special purpose registers for integer multiplication and division, a program counter, and no
condition code bits. Figure 2 shows the user visible state.

3.3Integer Unit
Like the RM5260, the RM5261 implements the MIPS IV Instruction Set Architecture, and is
therefore fully upward compatible with applications that run on processors implementing the
earlier generation MIPS I-III instruction sets. Additionally, the RM5261 includes three
implementation specific instructions not found in the baseline MIPS IV ISA but that are useful in
the embedded market place. Described in detail in a later section, these instructions are integer
multiply-accumulate and 3-operand integer multiply.
Multiply/Divide Registers
Program Counter
The RM5261 integer unit includes thirty-two general purpose 64-bit registers, a load/store
architecture with single cycle ALU operations (add, sub, logical, shift) and an autonomous

Document ID: PMC-2002241, Issue 1
multiply/divide unit. Additional register resources include: the HI/LO resul t registers for the twooperand integer multiply/divide operations, and the program counter (PC).
3.4Pipeline
For integer operations, loads, stores, and other non-floating-point operations, the RM5261
implements a 5-stage int eger pi peli ne. In addi tion to t he in teger pipeli ne, the RM5261 impl emen ts
an extended 7-stage pipeline for floating-point operations.
The RM5261 multiplies the input SysClock by 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 to produce the
pipeline clock.
Figure 3 shows the RM5261 integer pipeline. As illustrated in the figure, up to five integer
instructions can be executing simultaneously.

3.5Register File
The RM5261 has thirty-two general purpose registers with register location 0 (r0) hard-wired to a
zero value. These registers are used for scalar integer operations and address calculation. The
register file has two read ports and one write port and is fully bypassed to minimize operation
latency in the pipeline.

3.6ALU
The RM5261 ALU consists of an integer adder/subtractor, a logic unit, and a shifter. The adder
performs address calculations in addition to arithmetic operations. The logic unit performs all
logical and zero s hift d ata moves . The shift er per forms s hifts and store align ment o perat ions. Eac h
of these units is optimized to perfor m all operations in a sing l e processor cycle.
