[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]SuVolta, Inc., a developer of scalable semiconductor technologies for low-power, high-performance IC chips, today announced that it has realized significant processor speed gains with associated power reduction in an ARM Cortex-M0 processor built using transistor technology from SuVolta. The ARM Cortex-M series processor was manufactured with SuVolta‘s Deeply Depleted Channel™ (DDC) technology on a 65nm bulk planar CMOS DDC process. With SuVolta’s transistor technology, designers are able to significantly reduce power or dramatically improve performance, depending upon design requirements.

“ARM's heritage is based on low power, so technologies that can further improve power consumption, such as DDC technology from SuVolta, will always be welcomed by ARM and our Partners,” said Noel Hurley, vice president, Strategy and Marketing, Processor Division, ARM. “SuVolta has shown that the DDC technology, when incorporated into an ARM processor, can provide additional power reductions or a significant performance boost. As the Internet of Things continues to expand, innovative ultra-low power technology for sensors and other devices will be vital to ensure that ARM remains at the forefront of this opportunity.”
