The C28x uses a special 8-stage protected pipeline to maximize the throughput. This protected
pipeline prevents a write to and a read from the same location from occurring out of order.
This pipelining also enables the C28x CPU to execute at high speeds without resorting to
expensive high-speed memories. Special branch-look-ahead hardware minimizes the latency for
conditional discontinuities. Special store conditional operations further improve performance.
With the 8-stage pipeline most operations can be performed in a single cycle.
