Cortus also does NFC with SST

Cortus and SST are show off a new low power system on chip (SOC) at Embedded World 2012 that could change the industrial design of NFC in smartphones.

New Products from Cortus - The APS5

Cortus extends their family of 32 bit modern RISC microcontroller IP cores with an improved performance processor core extending the performance of the well established APS3, the APS5. The APS5 has significanlty omproved performance (1:1.93 CoreMarks/MHz & 2.29 DMIPS/MHz) with a modest increase in silicon area. The provides significant processing power and enables the creation of powerfuil System-on-Chip designs for low power single processor designs to complex multicore architectures. is capable of multi-processor configuration.

New Products from Cortus - The APS3R

Cortus extends their family of 32 bit modern RISC microcontroller IP cores with an improved performance APS3, the APS3R. This revision of the APS3 IP core gives improved performance (1:1.21 CoreMarks/MHz & 2.29 DMIPS/MHz) with a slight increase in silicon area. The APS3R is an ideal upgrade for 8 and 16 bit cores, and provides high performance in a small silicon footprint and tiny power budget. is capable of multi-processor configuration.

New Products from Cortus - The AHB-Lite™ and APB™ Bridges

Cortus now offers low latency bridges between the Cortus APS bus and AHB-Lite™ and APB™. These bridges facilitate the migration of older designs using processors supporting AHB-Lite™ to Cortus APS3 and FPS6 processors.

New Products from Cortus - The FPS6

Cortus extends their family of 32 bit modern RISC microcontroller IP cores with a high performance FPS6 microcontroller IP core. The FPS6 is aimed at demanding floating point applications such as industrial control & smart grid and is capable of multi-processor configuration.
