The Instruction Set in a DSP processor includes specialized operations for fast mathematical
and data manipulation tasks:

Category Examples Purpose

Arithmetic Instructions ADD, SUB, INC, DEC, NEG Fast math operations.

Logical Instructions AND, OR, XOR, NOT Bit-level operations.

Multiplication and MAC MPY, MAC, MPYA Fast Multiply and Multiply-
Accumulate for filters, FFTs.

Shifting Instructions SHR (Shift Right), SHL (Shift Quick scaling (important for
Left) fixed-point math).

Data Movement MOV, LD, ST Move data between


Instructions memory, registers,
peripherals.

Program Control CALL, RET, NOP, B (Branch), Control program flow


Instructions LOOP (subroutines, loops).

Parallel Instructions Multiple operations in one Specialized for DSP speed.


cycle

Special DSP operations include MAC (Multiply and Accumulate) for filters and convolutions,
bit-reverse addressing for FFTs, and circular buffering for real-time signal processing.

2. Applications of DSP Processor


DSPs are used for real-time, high-speed signal processing applications across various
industries:

Field Examples

Consumer Electronics Smartphones, drones, smart TVs

3. Addressing Modes of DSP Processor


DSP processors support various addressing modes for efficient data access:

Addressing Mode Explanation Example

Immediate Addressing Operand is part of the ADD #5, A


instruction.

Direct Addressing Address given directly. LOAD 0x4000

Indirect Addressing Address stored in a register LOAD *AR3


(e.g., AR0).

Circular Addressing Wraps around buffer edges Circular buffer for FIR filter
automatically.

Bit-Reversed Addressing Access memory in bit- Access pattern:


reversed order for FFTs. 0,4,2,6,1,5,3,7

Indexed Addressing Base address + offset. LOAD *AR0+5

Stack Addressing Push/pop from a stack. PUSH A, POP B
