Powerful 32bit design based on unique integrated RISC/DSP core architecture from Hyperstone
Hyundai Electronics, one of the world’s largest DRAM manufacturers, is entering the market for embedded systems products with the launch of a range of powerful new RISC/DSP microcontroller designs. The GMS30C2216/32 family represents a new class of embedded microprocessor aimed particularly at applications requiring a fast, integrated solution capable of handling both digital and analog signals such as DVDs, FLASH cards, digital cameras, PDAs and similar consumer and multimedia electronic systems. Based on an innovative RISC/DSP architecture licensed from German silicon IP designer Hyperstone, the novel E1-32X core design combines a powerful 32bit RISC core with a 16/32bit Fixed Point DSP unit using a fully integrated instruction set to provide a unified programming model. A unique feature of the design is the 32bit wide 96-way register set which supports parallel operation of the ALU, DSP and load/store units, delivering the highest performance/power ratio – 2.4GOPS/Watt - of any comparable device. 8kByte of on-chip DRAM running at CPU clock speed provides a further performance boost. Operating at 108MHz, total power consumption is just 180mW at 3.3V. Extensive on-chip peripheral support includes DRAM controller, software programmable PLL, 32bit timer, 3 serial I/O lines, interrupt controller and a 16/32bit bus interface addressing 4GB of memory space. Two power-saving modes are implemented: power-down and sleep. Power-down halts instruction execution, whilst DRAM refresh and the internal timer are maintained. Sleep stops everything, drawing just 30uA until a wake-up signal is received.
“As part of a new strategy to target non-memory semiconductor business, Hyundai Electronics has chosen Hyperstone’s innovative RISC/DSP architecture to spearhead our entry into the embedded systems IC market,” stated Y.B Byon, Manager of MCU Marketing of Hyundai’s System IC business. “The unique combination of high performance, low power and integrated DSP capability offered by the E1-32X core design allows us to provide our customers with the best technical solution offering the fastest time-to-market in the widest range of embedded applications,” continued Mr. Byon. “We expect to build upon this relationship by bringing to market new and more powerful members of our GMS30C2xxx range, based on enhanced versions of Hyperstone’s E1-32X, before the end of this year.” “We are delighted that our system architecture has been chosen by Hyundai as a major element in their entry into the embedded microcontroller market,” stated Joachim Stinshoff, CEO of Hyperstone AG. “Both companies share a deep commitment to making available the most advanced technology to our respective customers and partners, and we believe this will form the basis of a long and fruitful relationship.” Text Ends
