Abstract: A microcontroller apparatus is provided with an instruction set for manipulating the behavior of the microcontroller. The apparatus and system is provided that enables a linearized address space that makes modular emulation possible. Direct or indirect addressing is possible through register files or data memory. Special function registers, including the Program Counter (PC) and Working Register (W), are mapped in the data memory. An orthogonal (symmetrical) instruction set makes possible any operation on any register using any addressing mode. Consequently, two file registers to be used in some two operand instructions. This allows data to be moved directly between two registers without going through the W register. Thus, increasing performance and decreasing program memory usage.

Abstract: A processor is provided that has a data memory that may be addressed as a dual memory space in one mode and as a single linear memory space in another mode. The memory may permit dual concurrent operand fetches from the data memory when DSP instructions are processed. The memory may then dynamically permit the same memory to be accessed as a single linear memory address space for non-DSP instructions.
