Performance enhancement on digital signal processors with complex arithmetic capability

Digital Signal Processors with complex arithmetic capability (DSP-C) are useful for various applications. In this paper, we propose a method for the effective implementation of specific circuits with real coefficients on DSP-C. DSPC has special hardware such as a complex multiplier so that a complex calculation can be performed with only one instruction. First, we show that nodes with two real coefficient input branches can be implemented by complex multiplications. We apply this implementation to 2D circuits and transversal circuits with real coefficients. Next, we introduce a new computational mode (Advanced mode) and a new multiplier into PSI, a kind of DSP-C which has been proposed already, in order to process the circuits effectively. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by simulation in the last part.
