Abstract

A dual-cycle address generation unit is described to generate linear addresses. The dual-cycle address generation unit includes a first adder to add a product of an index and a scaling factor to an offset and a segment base during a first clock cycle and a second adder to add output of the first adder with a base during a second clock cycle.
