Hardware Overview
The RM5261 offers a high-level of integration targeted at high-performance embedded
applications. The key elements of the RM5261 are briefly described below.
Superscalar Dispatch
The RM5261 has an asymmetric superscalar dispatch unit which allows it to issue an integer
instruction and a floating-point computation instruction simultaneously. Integer instructions
include alu, branch, load/store, and floating-point load/store, while floating-point computation
instructions include floating-point add, subtract, combined multiply-add, converts, etc. In
combination with its high-throughput fully pipelined floating-point execution unit, the superscalar
capability of the RM5261 provides unparalleled price/performance in computationally intensive
embedded applications.
CPU Registers
The RM5261 CPU has a simple user-visible state consisting of 32 general purpose registers, two
special purpose registers for integer multiplication and division, a program counter, and no
condition code bits. Figure 2 shows the user visible state.

Integer Unit
Like the RM5260, the RM5261 implements the MIPS IV Instruction Set Architecture, and is
therefore fully upward compatible with applications that run on processors implementing the
earlier generation MIPS I-III instruction sets. Additionally, the RM5261 includes three
implementation specific instructions not found in the baseline MIPS IV ISA but that are useful in
the embedded market place. Described in detail in a later section, these instructions are integer
multiply-accumulate and 3-operand integer multiply.
The RM5261 integer unit includes thirty-two general purpose 64-bit registers, a load/store
architecture with single cycle ALU operations (add, sub, logical, shift) and an autonomous
