Abstract

TX1 is a 32-bit microprocessor of the Toshiba TX series of microprocessors, which are fully based on the TRON architecture. TX1 supports 88 instructions and executes basic instructions in 2 cycles at 25 MHz. The average performance of TX1 is more than 5 MIPS. Implementation of the TX1 is described. Particular emphasis is placed on a design style suitable for VLSI microprocessors including full utilization of design automation such as logic synthesis and automatic place and router. The clock skew problem is also studied and successfully resolved.
