IMAGIS uses Cortus' APS1 processor core for touchscreen designs
Cortus and IMAGIS have announced that they are working together to develop touchscreen designs based on Cortus' APS1 processor core. This 32-bit processor core has been designed to replace the 8-bit microcontroller core, with Cortus claiming it saves silicon area and reduces code size, making it more cost effective. The APS1, which has 64kB of program and data memory, features Ethernet 10/100 MAC, USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 OTG interfaces.
The processor core provides licensees with a scalable choice in embedded computational performance and silicon area to meet a wide variety of application needs. As well as this, the APS1 has a vectored interrupt structure which ensures rapid, real time interrupt response, with low software overhead.
The APS toolchain and IDE (for C and C++) is available to licensees free of charge, and can be customised and branded for final customer use. Ports of various RTOSs such as FreeRTOS, Micrium uC/OSII are also available.
“The Cortus APS1 is very competitive in performance and power consumption” says Jinkug Lee, Chief Technology Officer, IMAGIS, “In addition, the core is cost effective because of its small size.” He adds, “We have been pleased to work locally with the support of the Cortus Korea office”.
“We are convinced that APS1 is ideal for many touchscreen controller applications”, says Michael Chapman, CEO and President, Cortus, “We have therefore been very pleased that IMAGIS has selected Cortus’ APS1”.
