Application Specific Extensions

MIPS Technologies offers a series of Application Specific Extensions (ASEs) that allow designers to extend their MIPS32, MIPS64 or microMIPS instruction sets for additional functionality.

The MIPS® MCU ASE provides key enhancements for microcontroller applications including enhanced handling of memory-mapped I/O registers and lower interrupt latencies.

The SmartMIPS® ASE extends the MIPS32 Architectures with a set of security enhancements.

The MIPS16e® ASE is composed of 16-bit compressed code instructions, designed for the embedded processor market and situations with tight memory constraints. The core can execute both 16- and 32-bit instructions intermixed in the same program, and is compatible with both the MIPS32 and MIPS64 Architectures.

The MIPS-3D® ASE provides enhanced performance of geometry processing calculations by building on the paired single floating point data type, and adding specific instructions to accelerate computations on these data types.
