The world is fast access to the Internet all the IoT era, smart phones, smart home, intelligent network linking cars, smart cities, industrial networking, wearable devices have become familiar to the public vocabulary. Although a wide variety of application specific IoT, inclusive, but requires IoT side apparatus preached fairly consistent, namely: low power consumption, more computing power, connectivity and security.
This presents a new challenge to design IoT side of the device. And for these devices to select the most appropriate processor, it is the many challenges in the priority. Traditional microcontroller (MCU) was born in the "before IoT era", mainly to meet one or some of the market needs and design applications, although with a strong universal, but not specifically for the IoT and build, making it difficult at the same time meet most or all of the above requirements, such as taking into account the more computing power and low power consumption. The application processor is mainly suitable for relatively complex multifunction devices running mobile operating systems, such as smart phones and smart network linking cars.
Smart microelectronics based on Cortex-M series kernel developed MM32 MCU array of products, with F / L / SPIN / W / P five series, more than 200 models, the cumulative delivery hundred million pieces, widely used in industrial control, smart appliances, smart family, wearable devices, automotive electronics, instrumentation and other fields, in the forefront of local general-purpose 32-bit MCU companies.
MM32F Series - High Performance Universal Product microcontroller
MM32L Series - Low-power high-security products microcontroller
MM32SPIN series - and a drive motor control dedicated microcontroller product
MM32W Series - Wireless microcontroller product
MM32P micro-control products series -OTP
Today AIoT has become the new benchmark in the future of all things Internet era, in which the MCU and plays a central role. Domestic MCU MCU manufacturers with advantages in cost, localization service capacity, promising instead of in a wave of domestic generation. Coupled with the Smart Microelectronics won millet investment, future growth potential will continue to be released.
Although the same multi-core MCU may have multiple cores Arm, but generally also contains several applications the GPU processor, cache, memory controller, etc., the SOC constitute a large, more complex systems to manage and process a variety of applications, cost and power consumption for a large number of non-core function is relatively simple apparatus IoT side is unbearable. Whether it is visible or application processor general-purpose MCU is not an ideal choice IoT devices, this huge emerging market needs based on their dedicated MCU tailored to the needs of the IoT.
