Description
The Au1500 processor delivers a complete SoC based on the MIPS32® instruction
set. Designed for optimum performance at very low power, the Au1500 processor is available
up to 500MHz. Power dissipation measures less than 0.7 watt for the 400MHz
version. With highly-integrated features (on-chip memory controllers, a
66MHz PCI 2.2 controller, and Internet access peripherals), the Au1500 processor
runs a variety of operating systems, including Windows® CE.NET, Linux, and
VxWorks. Moreover, the integration of peripherals with RMI's unique, very high-performance, MIPS-compatible core can provide lower system costs, smaller
form factors, lower system power requirements, simpler designs at multiple
performance points, and shorter design cycles.
