The Cortex-M0 processor is the lowest power and smallest 32-bit ARM processor. It offers an optimal blend of ultra low-power, energy efficiency and low gate count, with binary upwards compatibility ...

ARM have announced their latest processor, the ARM Cortex-M0, which the company is describing as their smallest, lowest power and most energy efficient processor to date.

Arm® DesignStart™portal now offers SoC designers free Arm Cortex®-M0 processor IP for design, simulation and prototyping, and a low-cost simplified licensing package for commercialization.

Arm Cortex-M0+—a reliable architecture with low-power needs—provides 32-bit capabilities in a compact and efficient form factor.

IoT demands compact solutions and low-cost, capable of being integrated into millions of devices. Building an SoC or ASIC solution is no small feat, often relegated to only the largest of design teams ...

But the plastic M0+ processor measures 59.2 mm 2, or more than 5,500 times the area of a 90-nm M0 CPU, according to Arm's Cortex-M0 datasheet.

Just days after showcasing its first 32 nanometer chip, the company responsible for the Cortex line has announced the smallest, lowest power and most energy-efficient ARM processor available.

The tiny system is roughly the same size as an AA battery and runs an ARM Cortex M0+ processor.
