High performance microprocessor having variable speed system clock
Abstract
A high performance, low cost microprocessor system having a variable speed system clock is disclosed herein. The microprocessor system includes an integrated circuit having a central processing unit and a ring oscillator variable speed system clock for clocking the microprocessor. The central processing unit and ring oscillator variable speed system clock each include a plurality of electronic devices of like type, which allows the central processing unit to operate at a variable processing frequency dependent upon a variable speed of the ring oscillator variable speed system clock. The microprocessor system may also include an input/output interface connected to exchange coupling control signals, address and data with the central processing unit. The input/output interface is independently clocked by a second clock connected thereto.

High performance microprocessor having variable speed system clock
Abstract
A microprocessor integrated circuit including a processing unit disposed upon an integrated circuit substrate is disclosed herein. The processing unit is designed to operate in accordance with a predefined sequence of program instructions stored within an instruction register. A memory, capable of storing information provided by the processing unit and occupying a larger area of the integrated circuit substrate than the processing unit, is also provided within the microprocessor integrated circuit. The memory may be implemented using, for example dynamic or static random-access memory. A variable output frequency system clock, such as generated by a ring oscillator, is also disposed on the integrated circuit substrate.

High performance microprocessor using instructions that operate within instruction groups
Abstract
A high-performance microprocessor system using instruction that access operands and instructions located relative to the current instruction group rather than located relative to the current instructions, as is the convention, is disclosed herein. The microprocessor system includes a central processing unit, memory, and a bus connecting the central processing unit and memory. An instruction fetching unit, connected to the bus, is provided for fetching instruction groups from the memory for use by the central processing unit and for storage within an instruction register. An instruction supplying unit operates to supply, in succession from the instruction register to the central processing unit, one or more instructions from each of the instruction groups. The system further includes an instruction decoder for configuring the instruction supplying unit to select, from the instruction register, operands associated with instructions from particular instruction groups.
