Unlike conventional microcontrollers, xCORE-200
multicore microcontrollers execute multiple real-
time tasks simultaneously. The xCORE-200 XL/XLF
family includes devices with 8, 10, 12 and 16
cores. Each logical core can execute
computational code, advanced DSP code, control
software (including logic decisions and executing
a state machine) or drive and sample data on the
I/O ports.
The devices include xTIME scheduling hardware
that performs functions similar to those of an RTOS, and hardware that connects the cores directly to
I/O pins, ensuring fast processing and extremely low latency. The xTIME scheduler eliminates the use
of interrupts and ensures deterministic operation.
The on-chip SRAM can be accessed in a single cycle, reducing shared memory requirements by
passing data directly between tasks executing on logical cores. Similarly the xCONNECT switch is a
high-speed network allowing all cores to communicate with each other.
xCORE-200 multicore microcontrollers include an area of one-time programmable memory with AES
support to allow the implementation of secure boot functionality.
ORDERING INFORMATION
xCORE-200 XL/XLF devices are available in a range of resource densities, packages, performance
and temperature grades depending on your needs.
