WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.(Business Wire)Silicon Intellectual Property (IP) provider CAST, Inc. today released a newmember of its 8051-compatible processor family, the R8051XC2 IP core. Running12.1 times faster than the original 8051 chip, the new core is the fastest CASThas offered, and the company believes it to be the fastest 8-bit 8051 IPavailable anywhere. "The 8051 is the worlds most popular microcontroller, with rich and variedroles even in todays advanced products," said Hal Barbour, president of CAST."Weve been delivering 8051 IP since 1997 and know the market well: nothing isas fast, power-efficient, flexible, and user-friendly as this R8051XC2." Developed for ASIC or FPGA system-on-chip designs, the new 8051 core has asingle-clock architecture that uses an average of 2.12 cycles per instruction.This high-speed performance also reduces power consumption: using fewer cyclesfor the same operation makes a 90 nm ASIC implementation of the new core 10more efficient than CASTs previously best 8051.
