Overview

The D32PRO is a royalty free, silicon proven, high performance soft core of a single-chip 32-bit embedded controller, with Floating Point Coprocessor. Thanks to its increased code density, the D32PRO meets power and size requirements of new connected devices. That’s why both power and performance of this IP Core predestine it as a real alternative for ARM Cortex M0/M0+/M1/M3 in the deeply embedded market and especially for emerging market of connected devices (IoT). Responding to continuing demands for less power drain in system-on-chip (SoC) designs, DCD has developed the instruction set aimed at reducing the size of system's instruction memory. The D32PRO is aimed at low-power always on/always listening systems and those with less demanding clock frequencies such as Bluetooth Low Energy. Nevertheless the core is perfect for embedded systems that require greater computational performance and system complexity by supporting dual- and multi-core systems as well as improved code density. DCD’s IP Core is fully customizable - it is delivered in an exact configuration to meet customer’s requirements. The D32PRO is offered with great variety of peripherals, like USB, SPI, LCD, HDLC, UART, Ethernet MAC, CAN, LIN, RTC and many more – ready to be implemented with the CPU. The D32PRO is delivered with fully automated test bench and complete set of tests, allowing easy package validation at each stage of SoC design.

D32PRO, scalable & royalty free 32-bit CPU

D32PRO is one of the newest 32-bit CPUs available on the market. It’s been designed by Digital Core Design, IP Core provider and SoC design house from Poland, responsible e.g. for the world’s fastest or world’s smallest 8051 CPU. DCD launched more than 70 different architectures since 1999, which have been implemented in more than 300 000 000 electronic devices, that’s why one can be sure that quite considerable experience stands behind the D32PRO.
