Kentucky If-Then-Else (KITE)

• First “Kentucky Architecture” design

• Single, off-chip, program memory

• Control Unit fetches a block of instructions at a time and does VLIW-like multi-way branch

• Control hierarchy allows nanocontrollers to have a fast clock, despite a slow global clock

• Only instruction is Store-If-Then-Else (SITE)

• ITE is a 1-of-2 multiplexor

• ITE directly implements enable masking
