A Control Path Design of Communications Processor

With the widespread popularity of wireless mobile devices, the demands of emerging applications have been proposed, such as video telephony and HD video play. The next generation of wireless mobile computing devices needs to have higher data transfer rate, more complex algorithms, as well as low power consumption. This paper gives out a variable-width SIMD processor architectures controller and data transfer module designing method. The controller designing focused on controlling the program flow and initializing the data transfer module. By simulating the architecture on Xilinx ISE Design Suite, the fundamental modules have been designed and tested. The results of simulation verify the correctness of the controller and data transfer module design.
