The Intel Quark microcontroller D1000, designed for Internet of Things (IoT) architectures and applications is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics. Announced at Intel’s IoT Insights event in San Francisco, along with Intel Quark microcontroller D2000 and the Intel Quark SE microcontroller for IoT, this new technology extends intelligent computing to a new spectrum of data actuation applications and devices that require lower power consumption.

The Quark processors are designed to provide exceptional user experience through scalability across the Intel portfolio of products. The microcontroller family simplifies design and reduces bill of materials (BOM) by minimising external components required on the platform.

By developing on Intel Quark technology for edge devices, solutions providers can deploy compatible software throughout the solution to tie different pieces together.

The D1000 microcontroller is optimised for applications that require long battery life, such as wearable sensors and RFID tags. This 32MHz, ultra-low power, 32-bit microcontroller contains 32kBytes of flash and 8kBytes of SRAM. Its comparators and analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) make it easy to connect to transducers and RF front ends, and the serial peripheral interfaces allow for seamless connection with popular sensors, radios, memories, DSPs and application processors.

The D2000 microcontroller is an advanced version of the D1000, offering more I/O and providing ultra-low power, 32MHz, 32-bit x86 functionality. The D2000 features two PWM channels and an extended operating temperature range (-40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius).

The SE microcontroller for IoT is a premier 32MHz, 32-bit x86 microcontroller that offers high-efficiency power consumption. It contains 384kBytes of flash and 80kBytes of SRAM, and embodies all of the features of the D2000, plus an always-listening sensor hub and pattern-matching technology.

Both the D2000 and SE microcontrollers come with a full Intel x86 instruction set architecture for compatibility and scalability.
