Processor Cores Cortex. Matching high performence and low energy consumption Cortex Processor Cores. Matching High Performance and Low Energy Consuption
On rush of mobile and intellegent consumer devices technology leads to a new look at the future effective RISC processors. The new systems cost, energy efficiency, size and functionality simply don’t permit application of Intel's general processors. They require more "individual" solutions that are focused on machine groups. In connection with this it’s worth to consider Cortex processors that today are widly used in consumer electronics such as PCs, mobiles, digital media devices and players, portable game consols, calculators and computer peripherals like HDD and routers.

Microcontrollers LPC1100: High Performance and Low Power Consumption Microcontrollers LPC1100: High Performance and Low Power Consumption
In the last few years universal microcontrollers with ARM7 and ARM9 cores are in high demand at the electronics market. The efforts of designers to implement these cores have led to realization of more then 300 types of 32-bit microcontrollers. Among the producers of such microcontrollers is NXP Semiconductors that has more then 90 types of ARM7 and ARM9 microcontrollers. The next NXP development of its microcontroller line came to a turnout of a number of microcontroller families on the basis of Cortex architecture. Microcontrollers with this architecture where able to overcome yet another barrier to higher performance and lower energy consumption and thanks to new technologies their price was brought down. In consequence of this these microcontrollers in a short time became very popular among electronics developers.

32-bit ARM Cortex-MO microcontrollers NuMicro Series Nuvoton proposes microcontrollers that satisfy all modern market requirements, i.e. high energy efficiency, low cost, high performance and reliability. Thanks to super low power consumption, small number of transistors and compact code it is possible to get 32-bit performance at the cost of 8-bit devices. Moreover it’s possible to integrate Cortex core with SoC for mixed processing and with microcontrollers. This must positively show up in the cost of the target device. As far as saving of costs is considered the compatibility at the development tools state and binary files with Cortex-M3 core is a significant advantage. Applications of NuMicro's MCUs family are medical equipment, meters, controllers, game accessories, compact power sources, IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee) and Z-Wave networking equipment. Besides Cortex-M0 can find application in programmed mixed systems, for instance intelligent sensors and execution units, where earlier it was necessary to use separate analog and digital ICs.

Fujitsu ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontrollers Many world microcontroller units (MCU) manufacturers produce some MCU types simultaneously. By doing so they use cores developed by themselves or standard core from other producers, usually Intel MCS-51 core becomes very popular for 8-bit controllers and one of the ARM cores is popular for 2-bit processors. And today the core Cortex-M is very popular. This is confirmed by the large offering of such controllers at the market. November 4 this year Fujitsu Semiconductor announced the production of 44 ARM Cortex-M3 microcontrollers. The new microcontroller famely was given the name FM3.

Probability Processing. An Advanced Future technology Modern processors sequentially process input signals that correspond to logic 1 and 0. But many common applications such as fraud detection, spam filtering and financial modeling need the best guess among a number of possibilities. Current digital processors such as those developed by component leaders Intel and Advanced Micro Devices can do these probability calculations of one or another event, but in an extremely inefficient manner because they have to process floating point bulk 32- and 64-bit data. And for this you need huge amounts of processing power, a large space for complex ICs and hence much money. At the same time the demand for cognitive systems that can perform work of knowing and understanding of the outside world is growing. That’s why today scientists are looking for new processing environment that can perform such tasks more quickly and efficiency. And this search already is efficient. For example a startup Lyric Semiconductor developed probability processing technology and scientists of Rice University and NTU’s Institute for sustainable nanoelectronics created a probabilistic CMOS technology.

XXI Century Ada Technology. It’s Not a Myth, It’s a Reality Unfortunately in Russian program industry worked out a vicious circle. Industrial projects don’t use Ada technology. Neither the designers nor the management that takes key technical decisions know it. As a result Universities don’t get any orders for specialists that are in possession of Ada. And so people that come to the industry don’t anything about Ada. But at the same time Ada is the only essential component of world program industry that is used for the design of long-living embedded real time systems. The situation when Ada isn’t used in Russian program industry and is missed in IT education just because native specialists don’t know it can’t be recognized as a normal one.

GSM Modems for Controling Energy Load Today GSM modems are widely used in various systems. In many applications they must not only transmit data faultless but satisfy additional demands such as small size, low power consumption, industrial temperature range and others. Sierra Wireless’ GSM moddems Wismo 218 and Wismo 228 meet these requirements. This article is dedicated to an example of their application.

Memristors and Crossbars. Nanotechnologies for Processors Recently microprocessors performance is rapidly approaching technology limits. That is why in the last years designers are actively searching for new lines of microprocessor development that are different from today dominant CMOS technology. Size of new processors must be in the order of nanometers and adequately they should be produced be nanotechnologies. Fortunately it turned out that just at nanoscale the materials characteristics make it possible to implement new microprocessor lines. Hewlett Packard (HP) is developing one type of such processors. Its basis form two key elements: memristors and crossbars.

the Right Vent Choice Makes Good Housings Watertight enclosures are no guarantee that sensitive electronics will not have problems with dust, dirt, water, and other liquids, especially if the enclosures are in harsh environments. Damaged electronics inside sealed housings are common across many industries. And as electronics get more complex, these problems will get worse.

In the course of developing and debugging any electronic device sooner or later the need to connect the device to a relevant power line emerges. When working with consumer or industrial systems it’s always possible to take advantage of an ordinary socket connector and select a suitable laboratory power source the assortment of which at the market is very large. But for aircraft on-board devices there are special power lines requirements. According to this requirements avionic devices shouldn’t be directly connected to consumer or industrial power lines.
