Product Brief
Descriptions (continued)
PM-44ix Development Environment
The PM-44ix is programmed in the DSP algebraic assembly
language. Code is written in a simple C-like syntax. The
following example of 3x1 matrix multiplication shows how each of the
three input values is extracted from registers containing packed data,
multiplied by the appropriate coefficient, accumulated into a result,
and inserted into register containing packed data.
RZ = LA = EXT(mM3x1InWord1) * mM3x1Coeff1;
RZ = LA = EXT(mM3x1InWord2) * mM3x1Coeff2 + LA;
mM3x1OutWord = LI = INS(EXTI(mM3x1InWord3) *
mM3x1Coeff3 + LA, LI);
The PM-44ix programming environment contains all the tools needed
to program the PM-44ix:
• DSP Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• DSP Library
• PM-44ix Evaluation Board
Color Inkjet and Monochrome Laser Solution
The PM-44ix is ideal for both color inkjet and monochrome laser
MFPs. The PM-44ix performs all the image processing required in a
MFP, eliminating the need for dedicated image processing or
compression silicon.
Flexible Integration
The PM-44ix can be easily integrated into a variety of peripheral
controllers. Design features include:
• Internal phase-locked loop (PLL) for generating PM-44ix's clock
from a lower-frequency external signal
• Simple host CPU interface for use with any standard processor
• Flexible input and output ports with Burst, Video Burst, and Single
DMA modes
• Easily daisy-chained for configurations with multiple PM-44ix's
