NXP demonstrerer Cortex M0 silicum
NXP lancerer nu markedets første fuldt funktionelle chip, der inkorporerer ARM's low-power Cortex M0 processor (in english).
NXP has announced the world’s first functional ARM Cortex-M0 silicon. The Cortex-M0 processor represents a breakthrough in terms of size, low power and energy efficiency while its simplicity makes it one of the easiest architectures to use on the market today.As the first Cortex-M0 processor licensee, NXP will present fully functional Cortex-M0 silicon demonstrations at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley, March 30 – April 2, booth 1010. The NXP demonstration will showcase the Cortex-M0 processor’s industry leading energy efficiency and dramatic code density improvement.
- The Cortex-M0 processor takes the complexity out of using 32-bit processors. Customers can take full advantage of their existing ARM tool chains and preserve their software investment, says Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager, Microcontroller Division, NXP Semiconductors.
- In close cooperation with ARM, NXP will offer free Cortex-M0 architecture and software training and demonstrations at the Embedded Systems Silicon Valley show, the first of several shows where the silicon will be presented.
Currently working with lead customers, NXP plans to introduce the Cortex-M0 processor based LPC1100 series to the broad market at the beginning of 2010. The LPC1100 will target battery applications, e-metering, consumer peripherals, remote sensors, and virtually all 16-bit applications.
- The ARM Cortex-M0 processor provides further evidence of ARM’s low-power technology leadership across the entire spectrum of digital applications, from ultra low power MCUs to high performance multicore processors. The introduction of the first Cortex-M0 processor silicon just weeks after its public release is a fantastic achievement by NXP, says Mike Inglis, EVP and general manager, Processors Division, ARM.
