BA20 processor IP, an alternative to ARM Cortex M4 and M0
VLSI processor IP vendor Cast suggests EEs a smartest processor core choice, where the core is also offered with an evaluation kit. The processor core family is BA2x Processor Family running on evaluation kit called Talos Series. The evaluation kit allows “try before you buy,” offer running their own code and measuring benchmarks.
These days electronic engineers are tilted toward selecting ARM Cortex M based processor cores for designing IC chips for wearable device and IOT applications. Here's an interesting processor core which offers the efficiency of ARM Cortex M4 and in the size of ARM Cortex M0+. See the comparison picture below by Cast.
Designed to consume very low power the new BA20 Pipeline Zero 32-bit Embedded Processor IP Core, BA20 is called as new sweet-spot processor by Cast for applications not requiring the high operating frequency of modern three- or five-stage pipelined processors. To give you the performance specifications of this BA 20 processor IP core: Competitive Performance Efficiency: 3.04 DMIPS/MHz and 3.41 CoreMarks/MHz Small Silicon Area:0.01mm2 in a 9-track 40G process, and Low Power Consumption:2µW/MHz in the same process technology. The BA20 Processor features single-cycle instruct...
