Triad Semiconductor Announces TSX1001, First ARM® Cortex-M0 Processor with High-Resolution and High-Precision Analog of 16-bit ADC and 12-bit DAC

Triad’s TSX1001 is the first ARM® Cortex™-M0 processor combined with high-resolution, high-precision analog resources: 16-bit ADC and 12-bit DAC and uncommitted op-amps. The TSX1001, implemented on the Mocha-1™ via-configurable array, provides the performance and low-power 32-bit processing of the ARM Cortex-M0 processor combined with high-precision analog features. Mocha-1 is based on Triad’s silicon-proven via-configurable array (VCA) technology, which allows embedded system designers to customize processor, analog, and digital features with lower power consumption and greater system cost savings than last-generation ASIC solutions. The TSX1001 is a single-chip, mixed-signal processor that an embedded product developer can use to measure sensors and control actuators in products such as accelerometers, automatic meter readers, temperature sensors, capacitive touch inputs, touch screens, medical sensors and other devices requiring analog and processor resources integrated into small spaces using small, low-power batteries. The TSX1001 is ideal for many applications and, since the TSX1001 is built on Triad’s Mocha-1 configurable array, designers are able to quickly and inexpensively build working prototypes to verify functionality before committing to a new mixed-signal Cortex-M0 SoC solution optimized for a specific application…
