Cast adds R8051XC2 to its processor range
Cast
R8051XC2
Silicon intellectual property (IP) provider Cast has released the R8051XC2, an 8051-compatible processor.
The R8051XC2 runs 12.1 times faster than the original 8051 chip.
The R8051XC2 was developed for ASIC or FPGA system-on-chip designs.
It has a single-clock architecture that uses an average of 2.12 cycles per instruction.
This high-speed performance also reduces power consumption: using fewer cycles for the same operation makes a 90nm ASIC implementation of the new core 10 per cent more efficient than Cast's previous most efficient 8051.
The new core is highly configurable, with variations covering the 8051 spectrum from full-featured processors with multiple peripherals to streamlined controllers carrying-out specific jobs.
Customers can buy the fully configurable version to cover all their 8051 needs, pre-packaged versions that mimic off-the-shelf chips, or a custom set of features and capabilities.
Full MCS51 instruction set compatibility, a native on-chip debugging option and support by Keil's C51 development tools ensure quick and successful R8051XC2 system development.
