Abstract

A data moving processor includes a code memory coupled to a code fetch circuit and a decode circuit coupled to the code fetch circuit. An address stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store address data. A general purpose stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store other data. The data moving processor uses data from the general purpose stack to perform calculations. The data moving processor uses address data from the address stack to identify source and destination memory locations. The address data may be used to drive an address line of a memory during a read or write operation. The address stack and general purpose stack are separately controlled using bytecode.
