ST expands SPEAr MPU family
23 June 2010
DSP, Micros & Memory
STMicroelectronics recently revealed the new architecture that will be the backbone for the new members of its popular SPEAr (structured processor enhanced architecture) family of embedded microprocessors, targeting high-performance connectivity and embedded applications.
Leveraging its experience of the production-proven SPEAr300 and SPEAr600 lines, the new SPEAr1300 product line couples powerful dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors with a DDR3 memory interface and is manufactured in ST’s low-power 55 nm HCMOS (high-speed CMOS) process technology. The dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors support fully symmetrical operation, at speeds up to 600 MHz/core for 3000 DMIPS equivalent.
The SPEAr1300 makes use of ST’s network-on-chip technology for internal peripheral interconnect, assuring support for multiple different traffic profiles, while maximising data throughput. The availability of integrated DDR3 memory controller and a full set of connectivity peripherals like PCIe, SATA, USB and Ethernet, among other features, make the SPEAr1300 a good choice for high-performance applications including networking, thin client, video conferencing, NAS (Network-Attached Storage), computer peripheral, and factory automation.
