Microcontrollers and Microprocessors

Microprocessor (P) : developed as a single chip implementation of CPU. Its main application is in computing technology. t h l g The advanced P include: i. several CPU on single chip, i l i l hi ii. RAM memory cache, iii. iii Virtual memory H/W support Microcontroller (MCU) : manufactured with memory and some digital and analog peripherals integrated with a processor core on single chip. Over various architectures of MCUs, there is trade off between Functionality vs SWAP & Cost

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

FPGAs: FPGA sprouted f t d from PROM and PLD d as user re-configurable (even after manufacturing) complex chip for digital embedded system. Advantages of FPGAs : Effective high speed operation Reconfiguration capability Embedded DSP Cores FPGAs in Embedded Platform are used in either of the two ways: Digital Logic Soft d H d C S ft and Hard Core Processor (e.g.
Microblaze or Picoblaze as Soft Core and Power PC as Hard Core)

Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

DSPs: designed to have Embedded Multipliers and DSP blocks for complex mathematical operations. Main advantage of DSPs over MCU: Single cycle MAC operation Easily Implementable using high level languages. Fixed Point or Floating Point Digital Signal Controller (DSC): DSPs (along with PWM Gen, watchdog timers & fast response interrupts) optimized for Control application

Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)

ASIC: comprising of standard cells (32bit processors, ROM, RAM, EEPROM, Flash) designed to have high quality performance, low power consumption and low cost. Easy PathTM FPGA vs ASIC Xilinx EasyPath FPGAs offer a fast seamless low NRE, risk free fast, seamless, NRE way to easily migrate ones designs without ASIC conversion, req qualification or other engineering effort. g g It provides a 30-70% unit cost advantage over Xilinx FPGAs. Because EasyPath FPGAs do not require the production of new custom mask sets, EasyPath FPGAs provide much lower NRE charges than ASIC devices.
