xCORE-200 XL/XLF General Purpose
A new generation of high performance general-purpose multicore microcontrollers
FEATURES
Multicore compute
with up to
1000MIPS (8 core) and 2000MIPS
(16 core) performance.
Hardware Response
TM
ports
provide flexible, high-performance
configurable I/O capability.
Up to 512KB on-board memory
for
demanding applications.
Embedded flash option
– up to
2048KB on-board.
Free software library support
to
implement your exact mix of
peripherals.
Easy to use
with our free
xTIMEcomposer Studio™ tools.
The xCORE-200
TM
General Purpose family of devices (XL
and XLF) extends the popular xCORE
TM
architecture to
provide increased performance, memory footprint and
flexibility for the most demanding applications.
xCORE-200 XL/XLF implements a dual-issue processor
pipeline to boost peak compute performance up to
2000MIPS and 1000MMACS.
Up to 512KB on-chip SRAM memory is available. Each
member of the xCORE-200 family has an embedded flash
option for applications.
The flexible Hardware Response ports are bonded out to
I/O pins as 1bit, 4bit, 8bit, 16bit and 32bit ports, and
provide support for serialized and buffered data transfer.
Up to 128 general purpose I/O are available for user
configuration.
xCORE-200 is supported by the advanced XMOS
xTIMEcomposer Studio
TM
development environment. A wide
range of microcontroller and application libraries are
freely downloadable from
www.xmos.com
xCORE-200 General Purpose
PRODUCT BRIEF
Unlike conventional microcontrollers, xCORE-200
multicore microcontrollers execute multiple real-
time tasks simultaneously. The xCORE-200 XL/XLF
family includes devices with 8, 10, 12 and 16
cores. Each logical core can execute
computational code, advanced DSP code, control
software (including logic decisions and executing
a state machine) or drive and sample data on the
I/O ports.

The devices include xTIME scheduling hardware
that performs functions similar to those of an RTOS, and hardware that connects the cores directly to
I/O pins, ensuring fast processing and extremely low latency. The xTIME scheduler eliminates the use
of interrupts and ensures deterministic operation.
The on-chip SRAM can be accessed in a single cycle, reducing shared memory requirements by
passing data directly between tasks executing on logical cores. Similarly the xCONNECT switch is a
high-speed network allowing all cores to communicate with each other.
xCORE-200 multicore microcontrollers include an area of one-time programmable memory with AES
support to allow the implementation of secure boot functionality.
ORDERING INFORMATION
xCORE-200 XL/XLF devices are available in a range of resource densities, packages, performance
and temperature grades depending on your needs.
