Maximizing
Cortex-M4’s DSP performance
using
the LPC4300’s asymmetrical dual-core
and
configurable peripherals
12/16/2010 2:00 PM EST
Overview:
With 150 MHz performance and advanced DSP instructions, NXP’s Cortex-M4 based LPC4300 series combines excellent signal processing performance with all the benefits of a microcontroller including integrated interrupt control, low power modes, low cost debug and ease of use.
By taking advantage of NXP’s asymmetrical dual-core Cortex-M0 subsystem, developers can offload many of the data movement and I/O handling duties that can drain the bandwidth of the Cortex-M4 core.
NXP’s unique configurable peripherals such as the State Configurable Timer and Serial GPIO also offload processor bandwidth while providing maximum I/O flexibility to the developer.
Attendees will learn about:
- ARM Cortex-M4 digital signal processing (DSP) and floating-point capabilities
- NXP’s optimized memory architecture to support Cortex-M4 performance
- NXP’s industry first Cortex-M0 subsystem processor
- Advances in embedded tools to support asymmetrical dual-core architectures
- NXP’s unique configurable peripherals
