Abstract

A 32-bit central processing unit having a six-stage pipeline architecture with a cache memory and memory management unit all provided on a single integrated circuit (I.C.) chip but without any peripheral interface input/output circuits, clock or similar circuits on the chip in order to utilize the limited I.C. area for implementing the processor functions that most directly affect speed of operation and other performance factors.
