Optimized MCU
ASIC Success Story
Application
An Industrial customer with a mature system needed to transition an off-the-shelf MCU into an optimized, low-cost and low-power ASIC with a reliable supply chain.
No longer dependent on the whims of a big MCU supplier, the customer solidified a robust supply chain while also optimizing the silicon for exactly what was needed in the application.
Custom Solution from CSS
This custom ASIC draws about 3X less power than the original MCU device.
Program storage is provided by a 4K ROM. It contains a 128 byte SRAM, memory mapped I/O, a 16-bit counter/timer and a dedicated serial interface.
