DOLPHIN Integration launches the 32-bit challenger: FlipAPS-32, a processor tiny enough for embedding controls

Meylan, France -- July 21, 2008 -- SoC architectures for advanced technological nodes tend to address explicitly a number of control issues to facilitate their hierarchical organization. It ranges from multiple clock synchronization, to Voltage Islet coordination, through Noise management for high-resolution converters.

Dolphin Integration and Cortus SA are partnering for this 32-bit processor with the silicon area of a 16-bit core and with a minimal power consumption, but with the largest addressing capability. The Built-In-Real-time Debugger, BIRD™, one of Dolphin’s development solutions for the 8051/251 legacy, is readily available for FlipAPS32 to provide the most effective solution for advanced SoC control developments.

"A processor for nanometric processes was missing, and the FlipAPS32 comes with the benefit from the PRIDE™ Development platform which enables a smooth upward migration from 8051 and 80251 through application retargeting with a significant gain of silicon area. In addition, our embedded Memories and unique Standard Cell offering, comments Pauline BUTTIN, Sensor and Controller Marketing Manager, make it quite attractive for direct delivery at the hard level".
