The SM320LC31-EP internal busing and special digital-signal-processing instruction set have the speed and flexibility to execute up to 60 MFLOPS. The SM320LC31-EP optimizes speed by implementing functions in hardware that other processors implement through software or microcode. This hardware-intensive approach provides performance previously unavailable on a single chip.
