From: Bill Giovino on 23 Apr 2008 16:40 STMicroelectronics has introduced an ARM9 with up to 2.1 Mbytes of on-chip Flash and 96 Kbytes of RAM: http://www.microcontroller.com/news/ST_STR91xFA_ARM9.asp Embedded Ethernet, lots of other good stuff. FYI, we just completed a massive upgrade of the Microcontroller.com news section. After publishing the backlog, future articles will be published in a "more timely" manner. Also, additional features will become noticeable in future news articles. Bill Giovino Executive Editor http://Microcontroller.com

This is a dual die device with a separate flash chip in the same package. They say it is single cycle access for sequential execution and has a "hefty" 15- entry branch cache for branch prediction. That probably works as well as the similar flash accelerators on other chips in this speed range. |
