68000 16/32-bit Microprocessor IP Core

General Description:
D 68000 soft IP core is binary-compatible with the industry standard 68000 32-bit microprocessor. D68000 has a 16-bit data bus and 24-bit ad-dress data bus. It is code compatible with the MC68008 and is upward code compatible with the MC68010 virtual extensions and the MC68020 32-bit implementation of the architecture. D68000 has improved instructions set allows execution of a program with higher performance than standard 68000 core.
D68000 is delivered with fully automated test-bench and complete set of tests allowing easy package validation at each stage of SoC design flow.

A special testing platform has been built to run D68000 with uCLinux Operating System. For more details please check this link.

Units

Opcode Decoder

Opcode Decoder – Performs an instruction opcode decoding and the control functions for all other blocks.

Control Unit

Control Unit – Performs the core synchronization and data flow control. This module manages execution of all instructions. Contains SR (status register is consisted of two portions su-pervisor byte and user byte) and its related logic.

Interrupt Controller

Interrupt Controller – Interrupt Control module is responsible for the interrupt manage system for the external & internal interrupts and exceptions processing. It manages auto-vectored interrupt cycles, priority resolving and correct vector numbers creation.

ALU

ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit performs the arithmetic and logic operations during execution of an instruction. It contains accumulator and related logic such as arithmetic unit, logic unit, multiplier and divider. BCD operation are exe-cuted in this unit and condition code flags (N-negative, Z-zero, C-carry V-overflow) for most instructions.

Data registers

Data registers – Contains 32-bit data registers D0 to D7 and related logic to perform byte, word and long data operations.

Memory Interface

Memory Interface – Contains memory access related registers It performs the memory addressing instructions code fetching and data transfers. It is responsible for all external bus cycle actions such as: read & write, repeated read & write, halt and resume of bus cycles, bus arbitration provided by 3- and 2- wire system, correct bus and address errors handling, wait states cycle insertion and M6800 synchronous cycle generation.

Address registers

Address registers – Contains 32-bit A0 to A6 address registers, two stack pointers USP (user SP) and SSP (Supervisor SP), 32-bit Program counter and related logic to perform word and long address operations. An effective address operation are executed in this unit.

Shifter

Shifter – Performs shifting operations for the appropriate instructions, mainly for rotation, shift and bit operations.
