High performance, flexible, extendible 32 bit microcontroller core featuring excellent code density

Overview

The APS25 is a fully 32 bit general purpose CPU, with excellent code density, designed to provide meet and exceed the needs of the most demanding embedded systems. It provides higher throughput integer processing than the APS23 with increased configurability, notably with a tightly integrated co-processor interface.

Detailed information can be obtained once a non-disclosue agreement has been signed (NDA).

The entire GNU GCC toolsuite has been ported to this architecture.
