Codasip's New RISC-V Processor Family Dials In on Custom Compute
The latest RISC-V IP makes processing power customizable for a wide span of embedded applications.
www.allaboutcircuits.com/, Oct. 24, 2023 –
Codasip has announced a new highly configurable family of RISC-V processors for custom computing applications. This new series, called the 700 family, allows engineers to find a balance among performance, power consumption, and area for specific designs.
Designers have long sought after custom computing solutions to optimize performance, and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) provide one way of accelerating processing speed with hardware instead of software. This performance, however, typically requires a considerable design effort to tapeout custom silicon, slowing development speed and time to market.
As such, Codasip's new IP may be an option worth consideration when designers need quick hardware-level performance. This article takes a closer look at the 700 family's specs and discusses how custom computing can increase performance as the sun sets on Moore's Law.
Codasip Rethinks Scalable Embedded Computing
The first core in the 700 family, the A730, highlights some of the key features of the entire series. Namely, the extensibility of the processor will allow designers from various industries to adapt the core IP to their own needs.
The A730 is a 64-bit RISC-V processor, available in both single- and multi-core configurations. The processor can run Linux and RTOS, and is twice as fast as previous generations. In addition, the A730 can be used with other Codasip processors for more flexibility depending on the application; for example, designers might pair one high-performance core and one low-power core.
