TMS320C30 IEEE FLOATING-POINT FORMAT CONVERTER (CONTAINS SCANNED TEXT)

Certain applications require the TMS320C30's high arithmetic throughput in the IEEE floating-point format. These applications benefit from a custom chip that performs conversions between the TMS320C30 native format and the single-precision IEEE Standard 754-1985. This chapter describes this custom chip.

The description includes the following specific topics:

- External interfaces

- Architectural overview

- Converter operating modes

- Interrupts

- Software application examples

- Hardware application examples

- JTAG/IEEE-1149.1 scan interface
