Where Innovation and Ideas Come to Life

Automotive

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation embedded an Arm Cortex-M0 in its new family of NOR flash memory solutions to meet the growing needs of its Advance Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) customers. NOR solutions enable the processing of complex embedded algorithms for enhanced, more reliable memory, as well as real-time functional safety monitoring to the industry’s stringent ISO 26262 standard.

Arm Processing Power

Data and content are growing exponentially. The amount of data created in the world annually will reach 180 Zettabytes (or 180 trillion gigabytes) in 2025, up from less than 10 Zettabytes in 2015 and 44 Zettabytes in 2020, according to Digital Universe. All this data must be stored somewhere. To support data growth at this scale (according to Digital Universe), storage solutions must include both exceptional performance and low-power consumption.

From the smallest Arm Cortex-M0+ processor in an embedded storage device, to an advanced Cortex-A55 processor in an enterprise SSD, Arm storage solutions offer high performance, power-efficient technology used in billions of devices. 

Arm Cortex processors can be incorporated into an SoC using a broad range of system IP and development tools from the world's largest embedded ecosystem, speeding up time to market and optimizing implementation.
