Hi,
The 218x has a mode (M_MODE, if recall well) on which
the DSP makes the shift itself, but it only works for
1.15 x 1.15 = 2.30 -> 1.31.
For other formats, you'd heve to do the shift by
yourself, using the barrel shifter. What result do you
expect (expressed in your 2.14 format?)

the multiplier is doing things with fractions, and you want a different
representation. 0x6000 = .75 and .75*.75 = 0x4800. Since you want to
scale everything by 2 in each number you want to scale things by 4 in the
final result. So 0x4800 is now in 3.13 format (1 bit sign and 2 bits
before binary point since multiplier takes care of the sign for you).
Patience, persistence, truth,

Hello,
I have some confusion regarding the
multiplication in ADSP 218x.
For example, i want to multiply 1.5 * 1.5 which should
give 2.25 in assembly language of ADSP 218x.
to represent 1.5 , i use the 2.14 format which gives
it to be 0x6000.
Now when i keep MX0 = 0x6000 and MY0 = 0x6000 and give
MR = MX0 * MY0, the result is
MR2 = 00
MR1 = 4800
MR0 = 0000
Now the problem is how to shift the data to bring it
to the format understandable by the DSP.
Can anybody help me in this regard. I hope i am able
to make my point clear. Or if you can suggest soem
technical material for this.
Thanks,
SOnali
