The Akeana 100 Series is a family of 32-bit RISC-V processors engineered for deeply embedded applications requiring ultra-small size and low power consumption. These processors are ideal for real-time computation, with a range of memory systems, including cache to closely-coupled memory (CCM) blocks, enhancing efficiency for embedded systems. They feature in-order execution with a short pipeline, making them suitable for control-intensive tasks in compact IoT devices.
Designed to accommodate a variety of configurations, the Akeana 100 Series provides up to 64 KB data and instruction caches and supports a physical address width of 32 bits. The series is optimized for microcontrollers in devices like smart speakers, smart home appliances, and wearables, where area efficiency and power constraints are crucial design considerations.
The processors can be customized with additional options such as increased cache sizes and extension of physical memory protection. This level of configurability ensures developers can tailor the processors to their exact needs, balancing performance and cost for adaptive applications.
