additions are required. If the value of N is large than the number of computations will go into
lakhs. This proves inefficiency of direct DFT computation.

11. What is the way to reduce number of arithmetic operations during DFT

2. Complex additions = N log2N
13. How linear filtering is done using FFT?
Correlation is the basic process of doing linear filtering using FFT. The correlation is
nothing but the convolution with one of the sequence, folded. Thus, by folding the sequence
h (n), we can compute the linear filtering using FFT.
14. What is zero padding? What are its uses?
Let the sequence x (n) has a length L. If we want to find the N point DFT (N>L) of the

(ii) With zero padding, the DFT can be used in linear filtering.
15. Why FFT is needed?
The direct evaluation of the DFT using the formula requires N2 complex multiplications
and N (N-1) complex additions. Thus for reasonably large values of N (inorder of 1000)
direct evaluation of the DFT requires an inordinate amount of computation. By using FFT
algorithms the number of computations can be reduced. For example, for an N-point DFT,
The number of complex multiplications required using FFT is N/2log2N. If N=16, the
number of complex multiplications required for direct evaluation of DFT is 256, whereas
using DFT only 32 multiplications are required.

N/2 log2N.
For N=32, the number of the complex multiplications is equal to 32/2log232=16*5=80.
19. What is FFT?
The fast Fourier transforms (FFT) is an algorithm used to compute
the DFT. It makes use of
the Symmetry and periodically properties of twiddles factor W KN to effectively reduce the
DFT computation time. It is based on the fundamental principle of decomposing the
computation of the DFT of a sequence of length N into successively smaller discrete Fourier
transforms. The FFT algorithm provides speed-increase factors, when compared with direct
computation of the DFT, of approximately 64 and 205 for 256-point and 1024-point
transforms, respectively.
20. How many multiplications and additions are required to compute N-point DFT
using redix-2 FFT?
The number of multiplications and additions required to compute N-point DFT using redix-2
FFT are N log2N and N/2 log 2N respectively.
21. What is meant by radix-2 FFT?
The FFT algorithm is most efficient in calculating N-point DFT. If the number of output
points N can be expressed as a power of 2, that is, N=2M, where M is an integer, Then this
algorithm is known as radix-s FFT algorithm.
22. What is a decimation-in-time algorithm?
Decimation-in-time algorithm is used to calculate the DFT of a N-point Sequence. The idea
is to break the N-point sequence into two sequences, the DFTs of which can be combined to
give the DFT of the original N-point sequence. Initially the N-point sequence is divided into
two N/2-point sequences xe(n) and x0(n), which have the even and odd members of x(n)
respectively. The N/2 point DFTs of these two sequences are evaluated and combined to
give the N point DFT. Similarly the N/2 point DFTs can be expressed as a combination of
N/4 point DFTs. This process is continued till we left with 2-point DFT. This algorithm is
called Decimation-in-time because the sequence x(n) is often splitted into smaller sub
sequences.
23. What are the differences and similarities between DIF and DIT algorithms?
Differences:
1. For DIT, the input is bit reversal while the output is in natural order, whereas for DIF, the
input is in natural order while the output is bit reversed.
2. The DIF butterfly is slightly different from the DIT butterfly, the difference being that
the complex multiplication takes place after the add-subtract operation in DIF.
Similarities: Both algorithms require same number of operations to compute the
DFT. Bot algorithms can be done in place and both need to perform bit reversal at some
place during the computation.
24. What are the applications of FFT algorithms?

UNIT V - DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR

1. Write short notes on general purpose DSP processors


General-purpose digital signal processors are basically high speed microprocessors with
hard ware architecture and instruction set optimized for DSP operations. These processors
make extensive use of parallelism, Harvard architecture, pipelining and dedicated hardware
whenever possible to perform time consuming operations
.
2. Write notes on special purpose DSP processors.
There are two types of special; purpose hardware.
(i) Hardware designed for efficient execution of specific DSP algorithms such as digital
filter, FFT.
(ii) Hardware designed for specific applications, for example telecommunication, digital
audio.
3. Briefly explain about Harvard architecture.
The principal feature of Harvard architecture is that the program and the data memories lie
in two separate spaces, permitting full overlap of instruction fetch and execution.
Typically these types of instructions would involve their distinct type.
1. Instruction fetch
2. Instruction decode
3. Instruction execute
4. Briefly explain about multiplier accumulator.
The way to implement the correlation and convolution is array multiplication Method.
For getting down these operations we need the help of adders and multipliers. The
combination of these accumulator and multiplier is called as multiplier accumulator.

5. What are the types of MAC is available?


There are two types MACS available
1. Dedicated & integrated
2. Separate multiplier and integrated unit
6. What is meant by pipeline technique?
The pipeline technique is used to allow overall instruction executions to overlap. That is
where all four phases operate in parallel. By adapting this technique, execution speed is
increased.
7. What are four phases available in pipeline technique?
The four phases are
(i) Fetch
(ii) Decode
(iii)Read
(iv)Execution
8. In a non-pipeline machine, the instruction fetch, decode and execute take 30 ns,
45 ns and 25 ns respectively. Determine the increase in throughput if the instruction
were pipelined.
Assume a 5ns pipeline overhead in each stage and ignore other delays.
The average instruction time is = 30 ns+45 ns + 25 ns = 100 ns
Each instruction has been completed in three cycles = 45 ns * 3 = 135ns Throughput of
the machine
The average instruction time/Number of M/C per instruction
= 100/135 = 0.7407
But in the case of pipeline machine, the clock speed is determined by the speed of the
slowest stage plus overheads.
In our case is = 45 ns + 5 ns =50 ns
The respective throughput is = 100/50 = 2.00
The amount of speed up the operation is = 135/50 = 2.7 times
9. Assume a memory access time of 150 ns, multiplication time of 100 ns, addition time
of 100 ns and overhead of 10 ns at each pipe stage. Determine the throughput of MAC
After getting successive addition and multiplications
The total time delay is 150 + 100 + 100 + 5 = 355 ns
System throughput is = 1/355 ns.

11.What are the instructions used for block transfer in C5X Processors?
The BLDD, BLDP and BLPD instructions use the BMAR to point at the source or
destination space of a block move. The MADD and MADS also use the BMAR to address
an operand in program memory for a multiply accumulator operation
12. Briefly explain about the dedicated register addressing modes.
The dedicated-registered addressing mode operates like the long immediate
addressing modes, except that the address comes from one of two special-purpose memorymapped registers in the CPU: the block move address register (BMAR) and the dynamic bit
manipulation register (DBMR).
The advantage of this addressing mode is that the address of the block of memory to
be acted upon can be changed during execution of the program.
13. Briefly explain about bit-reversed addressing mode?
In the bit-reversed addressing mode, INDX specifies one-half the size of the FFT. The
value contained in the current AR must be equal to 2n-1, where n is an integer, and the FFT
size is 2n. An auxiliary register points to the physical location of a data value. When we add
INDX t the current AR using bit reversed addressing, addresses are generated in a bitreversed fashion. Assume that the auxiliary registers are eight bits long, that AR2 represents
the base address of the data in memory (0110 00002), and that INDX contains the value
0000 10002.
14. Briefly explain about circular addressing mode.
Many algorithms such as convolution, correlation, and finite impulse response (FIR) filters
can use circular buffers in memory to implement a sliding window; which contains the
most recent data to be processed. The C5x supports two concurrent circular buffer
operating via the ARs. The following five memory-mapped registers control the circular
buffer operation.
1. CBSR1- Circular buffer 1 start register.
2. CBSR2- Circular buffer 2 start Register,
3. CBER1- Circular buffer 1 end register
4. CBER2- Circular buffer 2 end register
5. CBCR - Circular buffer control register.

Central arithmetic logic unit (CALU)


Parallel logic unit (PLU)
Auxiliary register arithmetic unit (ARAU)
Memory-mapped registers.
Program controller.

16. Write short notes about arithmetic logic unit and accumulator.
The 32-bit general-purpose ALU and ACC implement a wide range of arithmetic and
logical functions, the majority of which execute in a single clock cycle. Once an operation
is performed in the ALU, the result is transferred to the ACC, where additional operations,
such as shifting, can occur. Data that is input to the ALU can be scaled by the prescaler.
The following steps occur in the implementation of a typical ALU instruction:
1. Data is fetched from memory on the data bus,
2. Data is passed through the prescaler and the ALU, where the arithmetic is performed,
and
3. The result is moved into the ACC.
The ALU operates on 16-bit words taken from data memory or derived from immediate
instructions. In addition to the usual arithmetic instructions, the ALU can perform Boolean
operations, thereby facilitating the bit manipulation ability required of high-speed
controller. One input to the ALU is always supplied by the ACC. The other input can be
transferred from the PREG of the multiplier, the ACCB, or the output of the prescaler.
After the ALU has performed the arithmetic or logical operation, the result is stored in the
ACC.
17. Write short notes about parallel logic unit.
The parallel logic unit (PLU) can directly set, clear, test, or toggle multiple bits in
control/status register pr any data memory location. The PLU provides a direct logic
operation path to data memory values without affecting the contents of the ACC or the
PREG.
18. What is meant by auxiliary register file?
The auxiliary register file contains eight memory-mapped auxiliary registers (AR0-AR7),
which can be used for indirect addressing of the data memory or for temporary data storage.
Indirect auxiliary register addressing allows placement of the data memory address of an
instruction operand into one of the AR. The ARs are pointed to by a 3-bit auxiliary register
pointer (ARP) that is loaded with a value from 0-7, designating AR0-AR7, respectively.
19. Write short notes about circular registers in C5X.
The C5x devices support two concurrent circular buffers operating in conjunction with
user-specified auxiliary register. Two 16-bit circular buffer start registers (CBSR1 and
CBSR2) indicate the address where the circular buffer starts. Two 16-bit circular buffer end
registers (CBER1 and CBER2) indicate the address where the circular buffer ends. The 16bit circular buffer control register (CBCR) controls the operation of these circular buffers
and identifies the auxiliary registers to be used.
