STMicroelectronics (Geneva, Switzerland) has announced that the roadmap for its breakthrough STM32 family of 32-bit MCUs based on ARM® Cortex-MT processor cores will include new devices centered on the Cortex-M4 and the Cortex-M0 cores from ARM. In addition, ST also announced the availability of its new STM32 F-2 series MCUs that unleash the performance of the Cortex-M3 core. The Cortex-M4 from ARM is an upwardly compatible version of the Cortex-M3, offering DSP instructions and a Floating Point Unit (FPU). The core will be used in new high-performance variants of STM32 products to be sampled in 2011. ST's new STM32 F-2 microcontroller series combines ST's advanced 90nm process technology with the company's innovative Adaptive Real-Time memory accelerator (ART AcceleratorT) to unleash the Cortex-M3 core's maximum processing performance.
