Cortus designs and licenses innovative highly efficient 32-bit
processor cores and IP around these processor cores.
Key Features of our Processors:
- Aimed at embedded systems
- excellent 8051 replacement
- Designed for high level languages
- Extremely small
- Excellent code density
- Very power efficient
- GNU Toolchain available [version 4.4.1]
The
Microprocessor Report
recently crowned the APS3 the
“King of Lilliput” for its high performance yet small size.
Applications include from simple control applications to high performance DSP,
image processing systems and encryption/decryption....
Our cores are unique in being extremely small and power efficient as well as
supporting out-of-order instruction completion. The cpu itself is no
bigger than the 8 bit cpu core in an 8051 or a 6811 micro-controller,
and is an ideal replacement for such 8 bit microcontrollers.
The small size and flexible licensing means that your system-on-a-chip can be developed
and go into production using a low cost FPGA solution and later, when sales ramp up, be
transferred to ASIC for high volume.
The embedded system designer can now have his cake, eat it... ...and not gain weight!

Software development is fully supported with a port of the GNU GCC C/C++ compiler and the
GNU GDB (with instruction set simulator) available for free. Debugging can be fully performed
over JTAG. All these tools work on Windows,
Linux and most
Unixes.
Installation is considerably simplified with a fully automated wizard to install the entire toolchain and IDE (based on
Eclipse) on Windows.
An implementation of the uC/OS-II RTOS
is available from Micrium.
A fully supported port of FreeRTOS is available for the APS3.
Linux is also available for the APS3 family of processors. The MMU-less uCLinux has been fully ported
and is availble from Cortus for your embedded Linux applications.
Where our products can be found:
- Consumer devices
- Battery powered devices
- Automotive
- Smart cards
- Security appications
- ... anywhere where a bit of intelligence is required!
