Read Abstract +

A new chip using a DSP with a novel vector architecture is described. It uses a Very Dense Instruction Word (rather than a VLIW) and exploits the parallelism and narrow data typical of image processing to gain high performance at low cost and power. It contains eight 32-bit datapaths all working off a single instruction, and can do sixteen 16-bit MACs per cycle or four 32-bit memory accesses per cycle to 128 KB of on-chip memory. It also contains a serial datapath for handling low-performance code and OS functions. The chip includes memory, video and IO interfaces on an industry-standard bus. It also includes camera-specific IO such as videos DACs for NTSC/PAL and analog LCDs, an I2S audio interface, and USB 1.1. It is built in 0.18 um CMOS, runs at 233 MHz, and draws 300 mW. It uses no fixed-function blocks, microcode, or coprocessors, but can capture and compress video at 30 fps at VGA resolution using JPEG, or at CIF resolution using MPEG-4.
