ARM Cortex-M0 Processor: Smallest, Most Efficient For Soc

ARM have announced their latest processor, the ARM Cortex-M0, which the company is describing as their smallest, lowest power and most energy efficient processor to date. The Cortex-M0 consumes as little as 85 microwatts/MHz (0.085 milliwatts) and is intended for ultra low-power MCU and SoC applications like gaming accessories, ZigBee and Z-Wave wireless devices, and smart-home products.
The Cortex-M0 offers, according to ARM, 32-bit performance in a 16-bit footprint, with integrated sleep modes. Since it can handle both analog and digital devices simultaneously, the ARM Cortex-M0 is also being targeted at intelligent sensors and actuators; NXP Semiconductors and Triad Semiconductor have both licensed the new processor technology.
