Cortex-M3

The Arm Cortex-M0 processor is the smallest Arm processor available. It has an exceptionally small silicon area, low power and minimal code footprint to enable developers to achieve 32-bit performance at an 8-bit price point.

The IP package includes:

• Cortex-M0 processor
• Cortex-M Sytem Design Kit (CMSDK)

The Arm Cortex-M3 processor is the industry-leading 32-bit processor for highly deterministic real-time applications. The Cortex-M3 processor is specifically developed for high-performance, low-cost platforms.

The IP package includes:

• Cortex-M3 processor
• Cortex-M System Design Kit (CMSDK)
• Corstone-100 foundation including the SSE-050 subsystem
• AHB Flash Cache
• True Random Number Generator
• Real Time Clock
