Cortex-M0 is ARM’s fastest licensing ARM processor
ARM has announced that the Cortex-M0 processor is the fastest licensing ARM processor, having secured 15 licenses since it was released nine months ago.
Almost half of the Cortex-M0 licensees are new to ARM, which the company says reflects the fact that it has succeeded in broadening the ARM Partner base to vendors in what were traditionally considered 8/16-bit domains.
ARM says it has secured design wins in new market areas, including mixed signal, touch screen control, flash card, SoC control and finite state machine replacement.
The Cortex-M0 processor is the most recent addition to the ARM Cortex-M series of processors, aimed at low-power, high-performance embedded applications. Its sister processor, the higher performance Cortex-M3 processor now has more than 35 licensees and together with Cortex-M0 is spearheading ARM's rapid growth into the domain of 8/16-bit embedded devices.
