PRODUCTION DATA
The ARM7TDMI-S processor is a synthesizable member of the ARM family of general purpose 32-bit microprocessors. The ARM architecture is based on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) principles where two instruction sets are available. The 32-bit ARM instruction set and the 16-bit Thumb instruction set. The Thumb instructions allow for higher code density equivalent to a 16-bit microprocessor, with the performance of the 32-bit microprocessor.
The three-staged pipelined ARM processor has fetch, decode and execute stage architecture. Major blocks in the ARM processor include a 32-bit ALU, 32 x 8 multiplier, and a barrel shifter.
