CSEM has developed Icycom, an RF system-on-chip (SoC) integrating a 900MHz low-power RF transceiver, a 32-bit 150uA/MHz dual-MAC DSP RISC core with 96kibytes of SRAM. Icycom runs off a 1V supply, compatible with a single alkaline cell, and is optimised for long battery life, consuming 3.5mA in receiving active mode, 40mA for 10dBm transmission and 1.1uA in standby with RTC running.
Additional peripherals such as a voltage-divider are all included on the same chip. This addresses lithium batteries, ADC, SPI, I2C, UART and I2S. The Icycom SoC opens the way to ultra-compact, autonomous wireless systems such as WSN, BAN and others. Samples and development kits are available.

Triad SoC Delivers Embedded Mixed-Signal Solutions
Triad has announced a system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates the ARMR Cortext-M0 with the via-configurable analogue and digital functions needed to deliver embedded mixed-signal solutions. Triad's Mocha-1T array provides access to ARM 32-bit processing performance combined with silicon-proven via-configurable array (VCA) technology, allowing electronic-system designers to customise analogue and digital features with lower power consumption and greater system cost savings.The Mocha-1 platform enables integration of complete mixed-signal SoCs by combining the Cortex-M0 processor, backed by the ARM development ecosystem, with Triad's VCA technology. Developers are able to integrate entire existing discrete PC board-level designs into the Mocha-1 platform. Triad's VCA technology combines silicon-proven analogue, digital, memory and microprocessor resources on a single ASIC die.
All of the resources on a VCA are configured by placing vias within a global-routing fabric. Vias are placed on the VCA using Triad's analogue-aware, via-only automatic place-and-route software, which configures and interconnects the entire VCA without the need for full-custom manual layout.
Triad's Mocha-1 integrates a Cortex-M0 32-bit processor running at 25MHz with 32KB of EEPROM memory, 24KB of SRAM, 75,000 gates of user-configurable logic and a selection of analogue resources including op-amps, DACs, ADCs, resistors, capacitors, transistors and switches. Combining the Cortex-M0 with these configurable analogue and digital resources allows Mocha-1 to realise a range of single-chip, mixed-signal SoC solutions for industrial, medical, sensor, Bluetooth low-energy and military/aerospace applications.
