Ultra low power, high-performance DSP / controller RISC core

Overview

Key Features

• Customizable architectures:
  • All 3 processors are available as VHDL soft blocks with multiple parameters (bus widths, stack size, optional blocks) so you only integrate the part of the processor you use.
• Configurable architectures:
  • The processors can be configured at run time to add new addressing modes and new instructions to reduce the number of cycles for individual algorithms.
• High parallelism:
  • The processors feature powerful datapaths (up to 36 MAC) and high bandwidth to registers and memory for maximum throughput per instruction, or clock cycle.
• Software development kit (SDK):
  • World-class GNU tool suite (compiler, assembler, debugger, cycle accurate instruction set simulator, ...) with plugin for the Eclipse IDE.
• Hardware development kit (HDK):
  • Plug-and-play motherboard for development on System-on-Chip (SoC) and on FPGA to reduce time to market.
• Quality:
  • The processors are designed for testability and support On-Chip-Debug through a JTAG interface. Silicon proven.

Benefits

• High performance processors with best in class energy efficiency
• World-class environment for software development (GNU & Eclipse)
