Abstract
This report presents a survey of the author's internship experience
with Texas Instruments from November 1980 to November 1981. The internship was spent in the
Advanced Research and Development Division of the Digital Systems Group. The report's intent
is to demonstrate that this experience fulfulls the requirements of the Doctor of Engineering
internship. The author's internship activities involved the design of a special purpose
processor. The internship was divided into two parts during which different versions of the
processor were developed. The first design was of a slow processor which was to be simple to
build and debug. The second design was a high performance, and therefore complex, processor.
Several areas of expertise were gained during the internship including simulation, caching
techniques and pipelining. Communication skills were developed because of the interaction with
software designers.
