DESCRIPTION
The ACT5230 is a highly integrated superscalar microprocessor that implements a superset of the MIPS IV Instruction Set Architecture(ISA). It has a high performance 64-bit integer unit, a high throughput, fully pipelined 64-bit floating point unit, an operating system friendly memory management unit with a 48-entry fully associative TLB, a 16 KByte 2-way set associative instruction cache, a 16 KByte 2-way set associative data cache, and a high-performance 32-bit system interface. The ACT5230 can issue both an integer and a floating point instruction in the same cycle.
