Power architecture processor core based ICs from e2v for aero/defence embedded systems

e2v has announced its Qorivva microcontrollers for hi-rel market such as aerospace and defense. The power architecture e200z7 processor core based PC5674F runs up to 264MHz and embeds advanced features such as a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) capable Floating Point Unit (FPU) for digital signal processing, a 32 entry Memory Management Unit (MMU) and a 32KB L1 cache. The PC5674F features the eTPU2 time processor unit, an advanced programmable I/O controller that allows the processor to perform complex timing and I/O management independently from the core. In addition, PC5674F offers several communication interfaces, including FlexCAN, eSCI, DSPI, as well as an External Bus Interface (EBI). This high-end microcontroller also features 4MB of on-chip flash memory with Error Correction Code (ECC), reducing PCB footprint and complexity. An integrated 64 channels Quad 12bit ADC allows the PC5674F to receive signals directly from sensors, eliminating the need for some analog components on the board. Eric Marcelot, marketing manager at e2v said “The PC5674F is a great addition to our portfolio of processors for aerospace and defence. Very low power processing elements within the full military temperature range are key for embedded applications such as distributed avionics. We expect that this high-reliability microcontroller will allow our customers to build innovative ...
