Overview
MIPS’s low-power and compact MIPS ARC® 605LE pre-configured core is a 32-bit microprocessor that implements the MIPS ARCompact (ARCv1) 16/32-bit instruction set architecture (ISA). The ARCompact ISA uses 16-bit encodings of frequently used 32-bit instructions, which can be freely intermixed with the 32-bit instructions in the MIPS ARC 605LE core, increasing throughput, simplifying program flow and providing tighter code density.
With a gate count of around 35K gates in a 130-nm process technology, the ARC 605LE processor offers designers a cost- and power-efficient solution for deeply embedded applications. The ARC 605LE core features Harvard style architecture with single-cycle instruction and data closely coupled memories (CCM), which can be set to be from 512B to 512KB in size. It is targeted for deeply embedded controller applications where small size, low power and 32-bit performance is required.
