The convergence of voice and video in next - generation wireless applications requires a processor that can efficiently implement a broad range of advanced third generation (3G) wireless algorithms. The micro signal architecture (MSA) core is a dual - MAC modified Harvard architecture that has been designed to have good performance on both voice and video algorithms. In addition, some of the best features and simplicity of microcontrollers has been incorporated into the MSA core. This article presents an overview of the MSA architecture, key engineering issues and their solutions, and details associated with the first implementation of the core. The utility of the MSA architecture for practical 3G wireless applications is illustrated with several application examples and performance benchmarks for typical DSP and image / video kernels. The DSP features of the MSA core include : two 16 - bit single - cycle throughput multipliers, two 40 - bit split data ALU s, and hardware support for on -the - fly saturation and clipping ; two 32 - bit pointer ALU s with support for circular and bit - reversed addressing ; two separate data ports to a unified 4 GB memory space, a parallel port for instructions, and two loop counters that allow nested zero overhead looping.
