Abstract :
A description is given of the architecture and the instruction set of the ST18940/41 processor. The use of an advanced CMOS technology (1.2 μm) combined with a highly parallel architecture provides a powerful and efficient DSP as demonstrated on the usual signal processing algorithms. To cover a wide range of applications, two versions are provided: a closed version with on-chip masked program ROM and an open version, which can access 64 K works of external program memory
