STMicroelectronics, a leading supplier of ARM Cortex-M core microcontrollers, has licensed new 32-bit ARMv8-R processor technology. ST will deploy the technology in 32-bit microcontrollers targeting real-time safety-related Smart Driving applications and in industrial applications.
First implementations of the ARMv8-R processor will be used in advanced multi-core, high-performance processors for safety-related automotive devices targeting PowerTrain, Safety and Gateway applications. Automotive microcontrollers employing the new ARMv8-R architecture will deliver real-time performance and functional safety features combined with unique innovations for sensing, computation, and actuation applications.
“The demands placed on vehicle electronic control units are increasing dramatically and ARM is at the forefront in developing the processor technology that will address the growing performance, power, safety and reliability requirements,” said James McNiven, GM, CPU group, ARM.
