AndesCore™ 32-bit CPU Cores Ideal for 8-bit CPU Replacement in Embedded Applications
From the original 8008 launched in the late 1970s to the 6502 that powered the early Apple II, to the 8088 that launched the IBM PC, and to the long-lived 8051 that powers many microcontrollers to this day, the 8-bit processor has had a long run. However, today's embedded applications are demanding more powerful 32-bit processors to handle a multitude of new computing, communications, and security requirements over long periods of time without battery recharge or energy harvesting. Examples include electronic shelf labels, smoke and CO2 detectors, lab on a chip, intrusion detection, keyless entry, and many more.
Only one 32-bit CPU architecture, the AndesCore™ series of high performance 32-bit CPU cores, among many, offers the silicon footprint of an 8-bit CPU, computation power, and energy efficiency to meet the need of these embedded applications. Each AndesCore CPU implement
