Small electronic devices are in the mix of the most advanced military devices under development. A product family of energy-efficient embedded processors provides a small form factor for Power Architecture-based performance. Each of the System-on-Chip (SoC) devices in the APM8018x family from Applied Micro is designed to deliver server-class processing performance in embedded systems that require less than 1W of operating power and low bill-of-material cost. The APM8018x family supports CPU frequencies up to 800 MHz. High-speed inter-chip and networking connectivity is key to the SoC’s delivery of high performance at low power dissipation, and each family member is enabled with a number of high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, SATA, GigE, SDIO, TDM and USB 2.0. Pricing is under $10 for 10,000-unit quantities.
