spaces are fully configurable. For timing-critical
applications whole program code can be imple-
mented as on-chip ROM and (or) RAM and
executed without Wait-States, but for some
other applications whole program code can be
implemented as off-chip ROM or FLASH and
executed with required number Wait-State cy-
cles.

For a user the most important is application
speed improvement. The most commonly used
arithmetic functions and theirs improvement
are shown in table below. Improvement was
computed as {80C51 clock periods} divided by
{DP80390CPU clock periods} required to exe-
cute an identical function. More details are
available in core documentation.
