Enhanced Multiply-Accumulate Unit (EMAC)

3-4

Freescale Semiconductor

7

OMC

Overflow saturation mode. Enables or disables saturation mode on overflow. If set, the accumulator is set
to the appropriate constant (see S/U field description) on any operation that overflows the accumulator.
After saturation, the accumulator remains unaffected by any other MAC or MSAC instructions until the
overflow bit is cleared or the accumulator is directly loaded.

6

S/U

Signed/unsigned operations.
In integer mode:
S/U determines whether operations performed are signed or unsigned. It also determines the accumulator
value during saturation, if enabled.
0 Signed numbers. On overflow, if OMC is enabled, an accumulator saturates to the most positive

(0x7FFF_FFFF) or the most negative (0x8000_0000) number, depending on the instruction and the
product value that overflowed.

1 Unsigned numbers. On overflow, if OMC is enabled, an accumulator saturates to the smallest value

(0x0000_0000) or the largest value (0xFFFF_FFFF), depending on the instruction.

In fractional mode:
S/U controls rounding while storing an accumulator to a general-purpose register.
0 Move accumulator without rounding to a 16-bit value. Accumulator is moved to a general-purpose

register as a 32-bit value.

1 The accumulator is rounded to a 16-bit value using the round-to-nearest (even) method when moved to

a general-purpose register. See

Section 3.3.1.1, “Rounding”

. The resulting 16-bit value is stored in the

lower word of the destination register. The upper word is zero-filled. This rounding procedure does not
affect the accumulator value.

5

F/I

Fractional/integer mode. Determines whether input operands are treated as fractions or integers.
0 Integers can be represented in signed or unsigned notation, depending on the value of S/U.
1 Fractions are represented in signed, fixed-point, two’s complement notation. Values range from -1 to

1 - 2

-15

for 16-bit fractions and -1 to 1 - 2

-31

for 32-bit fractions. See

Section 3.3.4, “Data

Representation

."

4

R/T

Round/truncate mode. Controls rounding procedure for

move.l ACCx,Rx

, or MSAC.L instructions when

in fractional mode.
0 Truncate. The product’s lsbs are dropped before it is combined with the accumulator. Additionally, when

a store accumulator instruction is executed (

move.l ACCx,Rx

), the 8 lsbs of the 48-bit accumulator

logic are truncated.

1 Round-to-nearest (even). The 64-bit product of two 32-bit, fractional operands is rounded to the nearest

40-bit value. If the low-order 24 bits equal 0x80_0000, the upper 40 bits are rounded to the nearest even
(lsb = 0) value. See

Section 3.3.1.1, “Rounding”

. Additionally, when a store accumulator instruction is

executed (

move.l ACCx,Rx

), the lsbs of the 48-bit accumulator logic round the resulting 16- or 32-bit

value. If MACSR[S/U] is cleared and MACSR[R/T] is set, the low-order 8 bits are used to round the
resulting 32-bit fraction. If MACSR[S/U] is set, the low-order 24 bits are used to round the resulting 16-bit
fraction.

3

N

Negative. Set if the msb of the result is set, otherwise cleared. N is affected only by MAC, MSAC, and load
operations; it is not affected by MULS and MULU instructions.

2
Z

Zero. Set if the result equals zero, otherwise cleared. This bit is affected only by MAC, MSAC, and load
operations; it is not affected by MULS and MULU instructions.
