DSP execution unit for efficient alternate modes of operation

摘要

A system comprising: a bus; and a digital signal processor comprising: a multiplier having a first structure and a second structure, the first structure processing data up to n-bits and the second structure processing data up to (n/2)-bits; and a data size selector which configures the multiplier into the first structure of a single n-bit multiplier when the data is greater than (n/2)-bits and configures the multiplier into the second structure of two (n/2)-bit multipliers when the data is (n/2)-bits or less.
