ARM968E-S

The ARM968E-S processor is a 32-bit embedded processor developed with the ARMv5TE architecture. It supports 32-bit ARM instructions, including a number of Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) instructions, as well as 16-bit Thumb instructions for high code density while maintaining good performance. The ARM968E-S processor uses the Harvard architecture (separate instruction and data interface), and also supports Instruction TCM and Data TCM, with Direct Memory Access (DMA) features including dual banked data TCM and a separate AHB slave port for DMA accesses to the TCM, which make it an attractive option for applications with much data processing from memory. The ARM968E-S is a member of the widely adopted ARM9E processor family and can be used with large range of Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
