AE210P

Generic Platform IP for Micro-Controllers

General Description

AE210P is a generic SoC platform IP which provides users with high flexibility, low cost and fast time to market for micro-controller applications such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Wearable Computing. To minimize the cost, the bus structure of AE210P can be simplified to one APB only. To maximize the performance, AE210P can be configured to add an AHB bus matrix. All the bus controllers, bridges, and peripheral IPs of AE210P are designed to minimize the access latency, the logic gate count, and the power consumption. Through the provided interfaces, users’ designs can be easily integrated to the platform.
