META LTP IP Core


The META™ LTP 32-bit processor core is a compact embedded controller with very low power requirements for deeply embedded applications. Able to operate from a single memory macro, META LTP is ideal as a high-level supervisor for subsystems requiring a small footprint microcontroller. LTP delivers up to 220 DMIPS in a 65nm process.

LTP, with its simple yet powerful design, is ideal for SoC integration. Its self-contained memory subsystem imposes minimal overhead on an SoC, yet delivers high performance from its single threaded CPU. Where multiple LTP cores might be required for more complex designs, upgrading to a related META MTP or META HTP multi-threaded processor core may offer an even more efficient alternative.
