Choose the Right Core 


Cortex-M0/-M0+ Based MCUs

Streamlined Design

Our MCUs based on a Cortex-M0+ core offer low power, fast performance and single-cycle I/O for efficient bit control. They support memory protection for secure operation and feature low-power modes for embedded applications.

Cortex-M3/-M4 Based MCUs

General Purpose Applications

Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 cores share a common architecture, with the Cortex-M4 core also including DSP instructions and an optional hardware Floating Point Unit (FPU) for efficient signal processing and faster math operations. Since both cores offer 3–5 times the performance of the Cortex-M0+, our MCUs based on these cores are well-suited for more compute-intensive embedded applications.

Cortex-M7 Based MCUs

Complex Real-Time Applications

Our MCUs powered by the Cortex-M7 core deliver top-tier performance within the Cortex-M family. Featuring a double-precision Floating-Point Unit (FPU), advanced DSP capabilities, faster memory access and improved branch prediction, they are built for high-efficiency processing. Integrated peripherals enable easy configuration, helping streamline development and enhance your design. These MCUs are excellent options for advanced motor control and high-performance embedded systems. 

Cortex-M23/-M33 Based MCUs

Secure and Trusted Performance for Embedded Systems

Energy-efficient Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 cores are designed for secure, real-time embedded applications. Our MCUs with these cores support Arm TrustZone® technology to provide hardware-enforced isolation between secure and non-secure code.
