Asterix – Key Benefits

Ultra-low power design

Asterix is ideal for battery-powered or energy-harvested applications. With a programmable voltage detector (PVD) and rich analog peripherals like a 12-bit ADC (up to 16 channels) and a 12-bit DAC (2 channels), it lightens the load on the ARM Cortex-M33 core, leading to fewer CPU wakeups, and lower power usage

Enhanced performance

The Asterix SoC, powered by the ARM Cortex-M33 Core along with accelerators, Embedded Flash & SRAM, external flash through xSPI, and intelligent peripherals, delivers autonomous functionality. This enables efficient power consumption and enhanced performance, ensuring optimal operation.

Functional safety features

Asterix makes sure your system stays safe by incorporating essential features such as Unique ID and Tamper Detection, which serve as robust barriers against potential hacking attempts. Also, Asterix uses strong encryption methods like AES, DES, and 3DES to prevent both physical attacks and cyber threats.
