XAP processor
open-in-new
<p>XAP is a <a href="/facts/16-bit/bTGS44Ne">16-bit</a> and <a href="/facts/32-bit/TDMVce8s">32-bit</a> <a href="/facts/RISC/aQbGM62p">RISC</a> processor architecture developed by <a href="/facts/Cambridge_Consultants/GDhy0l4s">Cambridge Consultants</a>. Its design enables use in <a href="/facts/Mixed-signal_integrated_circuits/cDkjcck8">mixed-signal integrated circuits</a> for <a href="/facts/Sensor/RN8SXbjs">sensor</a> or <a href="/facts/Wireless/GfDoFwfo">wireless</a> applications including <a href="/facts/Bluetooth/sWAjpMrj">Bluetooth</a>, <a href="/facts/Zigbee/SG0GxpjI">Zigbee</a>, <a href="/facts/GPS/DKVLnzF3">GPS</a>, <a href="/facts/RFID/4CnmIV2b">RFID</a> or <a href="/facts/Near_Field_Communication/awqd3Ea8">Near Field Communication</a> chips. These integrated circuits are typically used in low-cost, high-volume products that are battery-powered and must have low energy consumption. Additional use cases include some <a href="/facts/Wireless_sensor_networks/r5LIAVsU">wireless sensor networks</a> and <a href="/facts/Medical_devices/uzUHp474">medical devices</a>. </p><p>The XAP <a href="/facts/Soft_microprocessor/pCmb601M">soft microprocessor</a>'s implementations, in several <a href="/facts/Logic_family/QlEgIecX">on-chip design styles</a>, include self-timed <a href="/facts/Asynchronous_circuit/n4ah2j7H">asynchronous circuit</a>, <a href="/facts/Asynchronous_circuit/n4ah2j7H">1-of-4 encoding</a>, fully <a href="/facts/Synchronous_circuit/k3yddBIN">synchronous circuit</a>, and FPGA. The XAP license agreement allows the use of XAP technology for developing products, incorporating it into manufactured items, and sublicensing necessary rights to third parties. It also includes provisions for modification and adaptation of the technology, establishing a framework for ongoing support, development, and maintenance under specific terms and conditions. </p>
