The DFPIC1655X is a low-cost, high-performance, 8-bit, fully static soft IP Core, intended to operate with fast memory. The core is designed with a special concern about low power consumption in combination with high performance. The DFPIC1655X is software compatible with industry-standard PIC 16XXX Microcontrollers. It has a modified RISC architecture (2 times faster than the original implementation). It has enhanced core features, a configurable hardware stack, and multiple internal and external interrupt sources. Separate instruction and data buses allow a 14-bit wide instruction word with a separate 8-bit wide data. Built-in power save mode and small area use in programmable devices, make this IP core perfect for applications with space and power consumption limitations. The DFPIC1655X is delivered with a fully automated test bench and a complete set of tests, allowing easy package validation at each stage of the SoC design flow.
