ZSP540 - Highly Efficient
Quad-MAC DSP Core
O V E RV 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

ZSP540 Highly Efficient Quad-MAC DSP Core
ZSP540 QUAD-MAC DSP PROCESSING SOLUTION
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.
