Abstract :
A vector fixed point unit (FXU) is designed to speed up multi-media processing. The FXU implements SIMD style integer arithmetic and permute operations. The adder, rotator and permute structure enables the use of static circuits only. The FXU was fabricated using IBM 90nm CMOS SOI technology
