Building on its highly integrated ARM9 EP9312 embedded processor, Cirrus Logic has announced 10 new ARM9-based processors. The company says these new products are ideal for system designers across a wide range of market applications such as digital media servers, audio/video jukeboxes, telematic systems, intelligent house controllers, multizoned stereo audio systems, Internet radios, industrial controls, biometric systems and GPS devices.
The new family comprises the EP9301, EP9303, EP9304, EP9305, EP9306, EP9307, EP9309, EP9310, EP9311 and EP9315 devices, providing a comprehensive selection of ARM9-based embedded processors with a wide variety of performance options, integrated features and price points. With these product introductions, Cirrus provides designers with a broad selection from which they can choose the most optimal performance and integration required by their design. The embedded processors are provided with WinCE.Net board support package and Linux kernel ports, and they are backed by Cirrus' ARM Third Party Program - all of which facilitates a rapid development and time-to-market cycle for its OEM customers.
Cirrus OEM customers can leverage two Cirrus proprietary technologies, the MaverickKey digital rights management tool and MaverickCrunch math coprocessor. MaverickKey technology provides OEMs with the means to assign specific hardware IDs for digital rights-management implementation within the application, MaverickKey technology, which is standard on all Cirrus ARM9-based embedded processors, can also be used by OEMs and design houses to protect against design piracy as products enter into manufacturing. The MaverickCrunch engine is an advanced, mixed-mode math coprocessor that greatly accelerates the single- and double-precision integer and floating-point processing capabilities of the ARM920T processor core. The MaverickCrunch engine is standard on all Cirrus ARM9-based embedded processors except the EP9301.
The EP9301 is available in a 208-pin QFP, and EP9315 in a 352-pin BGA. Engineering development kits are also available for both of these. All other new members of the ARM9-based family will be offered in a 272-pin TFBGA. All products come in both commercial and industrial temperature grades.
