“Fujitsu Microelectronics’ adoption of the ARM Cortex architecture is a demonstration of support for ARM Cortex-M3 processor-based low-power applications,” said Eric Schorn, VP marketing, Processor Division, ARM. “As a standard, the ARM Cortex architecture enables semiconductor suppliers to maximize their return on investments by reusing investment in tool chains and software.”
The ARM Cortex-M3 processor was specifically developed to target the low-cost requirements of a broad range of markets and applications where memory and processor size significantly impact device costs. The Cortex-M3 processor brings together multiple technologies to reduce memory size while delivering industry-leading performance in a small power-efficient RISC core. The Cortex-M3 processor also delivers an ideal platform to accelerate the migration of thousands of applications around the globe from legacy or proprietary components.
