xcore®.ai for I/O

Flexible I/O
Configurability

xcore.ai processors provide flexibility in I/O pin mapping, enabling:

  • Up to 128 flexible I/O ports that support bi‑directional and strobed operation on data widths of 1 to 32 bits.
  • I/O configured by firmware to support evolving system and protocol requirements without hardware change.
  • Operation at both 1V8 and 3V3 logic levels supported to simplify interfacing to external devices.

Real-Time
Responsiveness

  • Programmable state machines in the I/O ports which can buffer and serialise data.
  • Processing cores can be dedicated to specific I/O events, ensuring hard real‑time event processing providing predictable latency for I/O operations.
  • Event driven scheduling model ensures that compute resources are guaranteed to be available.

Extensive
Peripheral Support

  • Connect with a wide range of peripherals through xcore.ai processors.
  • A large library of software defined peripherals covers many standard interface types; TDM,PCM or PDM data, I2S or S/P DIF, audio, I2C, UART, MIDI etc.
  • Dedicated USB, MIPI and LLDDR PHYs built in for high performance, optimising both system performance and cost.

Precise
Timing Control

  • I/O ports provide nanosecond level precision for applications your applications with xcore.ai’s advanced timing control capabilities.
  • The processors feature programmable timers and clocking mechanisms, ensuring accurate synchronisation and coordination of I/O operations.

XCORE I/O PORTS

xcore I/O ports provide unmatched programmability and flexibility, with multi-function operation, buffering,  precise clocking, and efficient serialisation capabilities. These advanced ports enable software designers to offload time-critical I/O processing to create high speed, deterministic and low-latency interfaces for complex real-time applications.
