Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, a branch prediction unit for an embedded controller may be placed in association with the instruction fetch unit instead of the decode stage. In addition, the branch prediction unit may include no branch predictor. Also, the return address stack may be associated with the instruction decode stage and is structurally separate from the branch prediction unit. In some cases, this arrangement reduces the area of the branch prediction unit, as well as power consumption.
