MIPS Technologies 4KE Block Diagram

The highly configurable MIPS32 4KE core family provides enhanced capabilities from the previous generation MIPS 4K family of cores. MIPS16e code compression allows designers to reduce the memory requirements for their application by as much as 40%. Cores can be configured with up to 64-kbytes instruction and 64-kbytes writeback data cache for more flexibility and higher performance. Extensive clock gating reduces power consumption without reducing application performance. BIST, scan and EJTAG debug with trace (PDtrace) and fast download enable quicker debugging. The 4KE cores are synthesizable and can be ported to any foundry process. All major operating systems and compiler tool chains, and hundreds of third-party development tools support the MIPS architecture.
