IC Provides µC And DSP Functionality

The TC10GP is a single-core computing engine providing real-time microcontroller and DSP functionality.Advantages include a single application development environment and system design tool chain. The IC is well suited for applications that previously required separate µC and DSP components, such as Internet appliances, high-performance hard disk drives, modems, and speech and fingerprint recognition. The TC10GP has a TriCore 32-bit Unified Processor core running at 66 MHz, 48 KB of memory, and a suite of peripherals for system connectivity, communications, programming, timing and systems test. The device achieves up to 100 MIPS of combined µC and DSP throughput and operates at 3.3V for I/O supply and 2.5V for core logic.
