PLS10 - Ultra-Low Power MCU
PLS10 is the first true sub-threshold chip of PLSense. It is an ultra-low power integrated general purpose MCU. It includes a full DSP and DMA functionality and a range of interface options. It is aimed at the growing market if IoT battery operated devices that are limited by the power consumption.
The PLS10 utilizes the PLSense unique Near/Sub-threshold technology. It is the first device ever to use PLSense patented TOPS (True sub-threshold Power Optimized Silicon) technology. TOPS technology continuously monitors the silicon device and minimizes in real time its power consumption– without any intervention from the user.
The PLS10 architecture is based on the Synopsys ARC EM5D core which can be clocked at frequencies between 0.5 and 100MHz. The PLS10 achieves ultra-low power consumption per operation: 18 uA/MHz
The PLS10 can be connected directly to a battery source and operates from internally generated voltages between 0.45 and 1.1v.
