ABSTRACT:
A sequencer for use in a pipeline architecture includes circuitry for determining whether the previous instruction was a conditional jump instruction and whether the condition was met, circuitry for determining whether the current instruction is a conditional jump, and circuitry inhibiting a branch responsive to the current instruction, if the previous instruction was a conditional jump and the condition was met. Additionally, circuitry may be provided for treating a CALL instruction as a one-cycle unconditional jump if the preceding instruction was a conditional jump and the condition was not met, thereby implementing a two-cycle IF-THEN-ELSE instruction.
