-A53
and Cortex-M4 cores for Heterogeneous Multicore
Processing (HMP)
– Arm Cortex-A53 runs up to 1.8 GHz per core, delivering
outstanding system performance
– Delivered in advanced low-power process, the core
complex is optimized for fanless operation, low thermal
system cost and long battery life. The Cortex-A cores can
be powered off while the Cortex-M4 subsystem performs
low power, real time system monitoring.
 Flexible memory options to address system needs
– Offers high-speed LPDDR4 memory interface for the
highest performance and lowest standby power, or DDR4
and DDR3L interfaces for lowest system cost
