The mid-range Andes Technology N10 processor is ideal for applications ranging from consumer media players and smart glasses all the way to touch panel processing, motor control, and power management. The N10 features a 5-stage pipeline and operates at over 800 MHz clock rate providing plenty of performance for automotive electronics and industrial control. It also comes with I/D cache or local memory options that enable the core to more efficiently perform for networking or communication applications.
In the fast growing IoT market, the highly performance efficient N10 processor can be used as IoT gateway to bridge those ZigBee, Bluetooth or WiFi sensor devices to the internet connectivity. In addition, with the tightly-coupled IEEE-754 compliant NCESFP100 single-precision floating point unit (FPU), the N10 processor can be used in the high precision sensor devices to manipulate the data from ADC which converts physical continuous sensor signals to digital data.
