MCUs bring industrial systems to heel

Microcontroller family features a new architecture to meet the unique needs of the industrial embedded system designer.

Innovasic Semiconductor has announced the release of the fido1100.

The fido1100 is the first product in the fido (flexible input deterministic output) microcontroller family and has been designed with a new architecture to meet the unique needs of the industrial embedded system designer.

The fido1100 architecture includes unique capabilities built into the silicon that greatly ease the burden of software debug and test - especially for real-time and safety-critical operation.

Programmable peripherals supporting 10/100 Ethernet, serial and GPIO protocols enable the same device to be used across a wide range of I/O applications.

The 32bit processor has been designed to be compatible with the CPU32+ (68000) instruction set, a widely used instruction set supported by a reliabl
