SANTA CLARA, CA – February 19, 2020 –Adesto Technologies Corporation(NASDAQ: IOTS), a leading provider of innovative application-specific semiconductors and systems for the Internet of Things (IoT), announced that its EcoXiP™ octal xSPI flash memory device delivers high-bandwidth, power-efficient program and data memory extension as well as eXecute-in-Place (XiP) system operation with STMicroelectronics’ new STM32H7A3/7B3 and STM32H7B0 microcontrollers (MCUs). With the Adesto® EcoXiP, the new MCUs can deliver 70% higher performance while being 51% more power efficient when running in XiP mode from EcoXiP as compared to XiP with a standard quad flash memory device*.

STMicroelectronics的STM32H7产品系列的最新产品—STM32H7A3和STM32H7B3单芯线和STM32H7B0价值线MCU—具有能效、安全性和高集成度,以支持丰富的图形界面,下一代智能设备中的人机界面(HMI)和自然语言界面。MCU实现了片上闪存和两个支持NOR闪存的八进制SPI端口的组合。

随着应用程序复杂性的增加,由于对更丰富、更直观的gui的需求以及对AI等功能的处理能力的提高,系统设计者需要在系统中提供更多的非易失性内存(NVM)来存储图像和权重等数据。这反过来又给原始设备制造商管理许多不同的产品SKU带来了挑战。答案在于使用高带宽、低功耗的外部存储器(如EcoXiP)来扩展系统中的NVM数量,同时将相同的MCU保持在系统设计的中心。

“Our STM32H7A3, STM32H7B3, and STM32H7B0 MCUs are ideal for engineers who want the features of the STM32H7 series with lower power consumption and greater integration,” said Daniel Colonna, marketing director, Microcontroller Division, STMicroelectronics. “For design teams providing richer graphics, we included a dual octo-SPI interface on the new MCUs that assures high throughput and using memory-mapped mode, treats external flash like an internal memory during read operations. By using an octal SPI device like Adesto’s EcoXiP with our new MCUs, designers can create high-performance, low-power systems for more energy-efficient, lower-cost products.”

XiP操作,即直接从外部flash设备执行代码,也是一个不断增长的趋势,因为它使设计人员能够通过使用额外的程序空间轻松地扩展系统来支持越来越多的功能。EcoXiP提供的系统性能相当于直接从内部片上NVM执行代码。使用EcoXiP作为外部闪存,设计者可以无缝地扩展他们的系统,固件开发简单,不需要担心哪个代码是MCU内部的还是外部的。

Adesto的首席技术官Gideon Intrater说:“许多设计师为他们的XiP系统选择了一个四SPI内存,但根据他们的应用情况,他们可能很难满足四设备的性能要求。”。“当使用ST的创新型新MCU时,设计者应该考虑使用八进制SPI设备进行XiP操作。EcoXiP可以为许多应用提供显著的性能优势,同时也提高了系统的功耗效率。我们很高兴ST对EcoXiP的wrap and continue命令实施了全面支持,这有助于其出色的性能。”亚博国际官网平台网址

关于EcoXiP

Built on an innovative memory and protocol architecture, EcoXiP was designed from the ground-up to solve the challenges of XiP (eXecute-in-Place) systems. EcoXiP replaces expensive, energy-inefficient memory architectures, making power and performance trade-offs unnecessary in a wide range of connected devices. For a broad array of MCUs and other intelligent IoT devices, EcoXiP delivers high system performance, optimized latency and throughput, concurrent read-while-write capability, enhanced security, and industry-leading standby power.

*编者按:在XiP性能测试中,H7A与EcoXiP的结合提供了70%更高的性能,同时比H7A与在相同频率下运行的标准四闪存的结合提高了51%的能效。
