3.7
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
The dsPIC33FJ32GP302/304, dsPIC33FJ64GPX02/
X04, and dsPIC33FJ128GPX02/X04 ALU is 16 bits
wide and is capable of addition, subtraction, bit shifts
and logic operations. Unless otherwise mentioned,
arithmetic operations are two’s complement in nature.
Depending on the operation, the ALU can affect the
values of the Carry (C), Zero (Z), Negative (N),
Overflow (OV) and Digit Carry (DC) Status bits in the
SR register. The C and DC Status bits operate as
Borrow and Digit Borrow bits, respectively, for
subtraction operations.
The ALU can perform 8-bit or 16-bit operations,
depending on the mode of the instruction that is used.
Data for the ALU operation can come from the W
register array or data memory, depending on the
addressing mode of the instruction. Likewise, output
data from the ALU can be written to the W register array
or a data memory location.
Refer to the “16-bit MCU and DSC Programmer’s Ref-
erence Manual” (DS70157) for information on the SR
bits affected by each instruction.
The dsPIC33FJ32GP302/304, dsPIC33FJ64GPX02/
X04, and dsPIC33FJ128GPX02/X04 CPU incorpo-
rates hardware support for both multiplication and divi-
sion. This includes a dedicated hardware multiplier and
support hardware for 16-bit-divisor division.
MULTIPLIER
Using the high-speed 17-bit x 17-bit multiplier of the
DSP engine, the ALU supports unsigned, signed or
mixed-sign operation in several MCU multiplication
modes:
16-bit x 16-bit signed
16-bit x 16-bit unsigned
16-bit signed x 5-bit (literal) unsigned
16-bit unsigned x 16-bit unsigned
16-bit unsigned x 5-bit (literal) unsigned
16-bit unsigned x 16-bit signed
8-bit unsigned x 8-bit unsigned
3.7.2
DIVIDER
The divide block supports 32-bit/16-bit and 16-bit/16-bit
signed and unsigned integer divide operations with the
following data sizes:
1.
32-bit signed/16-bit signed divide
2.
32-bit unsigned/16-bit unsigned divide
3.
16-bit signed/16-bit signed divide
4.
16-bit unsigned/16-bit unsigned divide
The quotient for all divide instructions ends up in W0
and the remainder in W1. 16-bit signed and unsigned
DIV instructions can specify any W register for both
the 16-bit divisor (Wn) and any W register (aligned)
pair (W(m + 1):Wm) for the 32-bit dividend. The divide
algorithm takes one cycle per bit of divisor, so both
32-bit/16-bit and 16-bit/16-bit instructions take the
same number of cycles to execute.
3.8
DSP Engine
The DSP engine consists of a high-speed 17-bit x
17-bit multiplier, a barrel shifter and a 40-bit adder/
subtracter (with two target accumulators, round and
saturation logic).
The dsPIC33FJ32GP302/304, dsPIC33FJ64GPX02/
X04, and dsPIC33FJ128GPX02/X04 is a single-cycle
instruction flow architecture; therefore, concurrent
operation of the DSP engine with MCU instruction flow
is not possible. However, some MCU ALU and DSP
engine resources can be used concurrently by the
same instruction (e.g., ED, EDAC).
The DSP engine can also perform inherent accumula-
tor-to-accumulator operations that require no additional
data. These instructions are ADD, SUB and NEG.
The DSP engine has options selected through bits in
the CPU Core Control register (CORCON), as listed
below:
Fractional or integer DSP multiply (IF)
Signed or unsigned DSP multiply (US)
Conventional or convergent rounding (RND)
Automatic saturation on/off for ACCA (SATA)
Automatic saturation on/off for ACCB (SATB)
Automatic saturation on/off for writes to data
memory (SATDW)
Accumulator Saturation mode selection (ACC-
SAT)
