XMOS Technology Whitepaper

Designers for electronic products are challenged by requests for customized and differentiated complex products in short time frames. In this environment two factors become crucial: flexibility and simplicity. For many years ASICS or FPGAs allowed engineers to meet very specific product design requirements. However, the design process involved is complex, time-consuming and expensive. Technologies such as microcontrollers or DSPs provide simplicity, but they lack the flexibility needed to meet rapidly changing market requirements.
XMOS delivers a technology that provides the flexibility of FPGAs or ASICs with the design simplicity of processor based designs. The XMOS XCore is a processor that is programmable in a high-level language (C), yet capable of performing low level, real-time, tasks.
