ZSP540 - Highly Efficient
Quad-MAC DSP Core
O V E R V I E W
The ZSP540 processor core is a high-performance/power-efficient Quad-
MAC/Six-ALU implementation of the ZSP
G2 architecture. The ZSP540 utilizes a
16-bit architecture with extensive 32-bit capabilities and sets an unmatched
balance of performance/power/size and memory utilization efficiency. The
Z.Turbo feature provides the SOC designer with the option to extend the ZSP540
Instruction Set and the ability to add application-specific acceleration logic.

LSI Logic ZSP cores are licensable and available as a fully synthesizable and
technology independent. The ZSP Cores have been proven in ASICs and are also
available as standard general-purpose DSP and Application Specific Standard
Products (ASSP) from LSI Logic and licensees of the ZSP cores.
The ZSP540 is power-efficient/high-performance Quad-MAC DSP core
implementation of the ZSP G2 architecture version and is software compatible
with all other ZSP cores enabling code reuse and effortless design migration
and scalability.
The ZSP540 features instruction grouping, instruction parallelism and pipeline control
all done by hardware making it seamless and easy to program. Highly optimized
C-Compilers are available minimizing the need for assembly level programming.
