This paper presents ASDSP (Application-Specific Digital Signal Processor) instructions and their hardware architecture for high-speed FFT. The proposed instructions calculate a butterfly within two cycles. The proposed architecture employs a Data Processing Unit (DPU) supporting the instructions and an FFT Address Generation Unit (FAGU) automatically calculating the butterfly input and output data addresses. The proposed DPU has a smaller area than commercial DSP chips. Moreover, the number of FFT computation cycles is reduced by the proposed FAGU. The architecture has been modeled by the VHDL. We have used the UMC 0.25@standard cell library for logic synthesis. Performance comparisons show that the number of execution cycles is reduced over 10% and the size of the DPU decreases about 30% compared with Carmel DSP.
