Product Descriptions

The xCORE family of 32-bit multicore microcontrollers are programmed in a C language environment; and yet operate deterministically and with low latency. They can even execute hardware-type functions – including peripherals and I/O – in software.

More than 100 family members across the XMOS product ranges offer a wide choice of performance and resource grades. We support 

our devices with a comprehensive range of xSOFTip soft peripherals and functional blocks.

xCORE provides a comprehensive range of 32-bit multicore microcontrollers that feature ease-of-use, low latency and timing determinism.

Unlike conventional microcontrollers, xCORE multicore microcontrollers execute multiple real-time tasks simultaneously. 

Devices consist of one or more xCORE tiles, each containing up to eight logical cores. Each core can execute computational code, advanced DSP 

code, control software (including logic decisions and executing a state machine) or software that handles I/O.

Devices are also available in eXtended Architecture versions that combine XMOS multicore microcontroller technology with an ultra-low-power ARM® Cortex® M3 processor, to create programmable system-on-chip (SoC) products.

xCORE multicore microcontrollers include a hardware scheduler that ensures deterministic execution by implementing functions similar to those of a realtime operating system (RTOS). Almost all instructions complete in a single cycle, guaranteeing that code behaves predictably.

Each tile includes hardware response ports that enable an intimate connection between the processor resource and I/O signals, reducing latency to a minimum. 

Inputs respond much faster and you can be sure that your precise timing requirements will be met. xCORE-XA devices also include ultra-low-energy fixed function peripherals, including a USB 2.0 interface.

With 64-bit precision DSP capability, xCORE is particularly well suited for signal conditioning and control tasks. In xCORE-Analog and xCORE-USB devices, the processor tiles are supplemented with analog and USB PHY functions to enable greater system integration.
