The Real-Time Engine: RTen™ RTen Picture

The RTen™ is a 32-bit general-purpose microprocessor optimized for high-speed, embedded control and real-time processing. The RTen was designed from the ground up and unlike many real-time control processors where developers must contend with long development times, low performance or design limitations caused by programming with a specialized CPU, the RTen™ combines the speed of DSP hardware with the ease of programming a general-purpose microprocessor in a high-level language to significantly reduce development time.

The RTen™ is ideal for dedicated applications, embedded systems control, multi-tasking systems, general computing environments, data acquisition, image and numerical processing and applications requiring large, non-segmented program, data or memory-mapped I/O capability.

Some RTen™ features include:

  • 32-bit general purpose microprocessor with over 500 powerful one-clock-cycle instructions.
  • Optimized design for real-time embedded control and data acquisition.
  • Also, fast execution of Java™ code (or Z80™ or others)
  • Predictable and re-entrant programs.
  • Full system on a chip: UARTS, Interrupts, Multiplier, MAC, Timers, Chip Selects,
    Watchdog Timer, Cycle Counter, RAM, SSIs, FPB, Wait-State Generator and more.
  • Minimal or no glue logic needed for reduced PCB or embedded IC count.
