Bill Slattery, energy segment manager, said the device has independent ARM Cortex-M4 and M0 cores, with one core controlling power, the other acting as a supervisor. The part has three elements: the processors; gate drivers; and current sensors. “There is also a range of hardware accelerators,” Slattery noted, “and mixed signal capability, including a 31 channel analogue front end. Overall, the device is four times more efficient than other M4 based systems.”
