With more and more functions and applications integrated into an embedded system, FA626 will open up new market applications for embedded SoC designs in favor of the ARM cores. FA626 delivers a CPU with the performance level of MIPS24K, PowerPC 440, and other high speed embedded CPUs, but with the popularity of the ARM architecture. Combining Faraday's solution-based IP and SoC expertise, we could deliver the optimal benefit to our customers to speed up their development cycle and shorten time to market.
The FA626 core consists of a synthesized 32-bit CPU core, an MMU, 32K I-Cache /32K D-Cache, separate configurable scratch pads ranging from 8 KB to 32 KB, and 8-stage pipeline architecture . This core is designed using the ARMv4™ instruction set and fully compliant with the ARM CPU cores and tool chains. It could operate at 533 MHz using UMC's 0.13 µm HS process under the worst case condition.
FA626 is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially those that require high performance, low cost, and low power consumption, such as PC peripherals, storage or networking applications.
