STMicroelectronics has unveiled the STM8 microcontroller platform, which will be made using an ST proprietary 130nm embedded non volatile memory technology.
The platform is said to be the foundation for a number of distinct product families, each optimised for specific applications – including automotive, industrial, low voltage and battery operated applications. Each product family will deliver higher performance, shorter application design cycles and low total system cost.
The STM8 uses a Harvard architecture with 16bit index registers and stack pointer and a 16Mbyte linear address space. The core is said to process an average of 1.6 cycles per instruction, with a peak performance of 20MIPS at 24MHz using a three stage pipeline.
