Silicon Labs’ Precision32™ mixed-signal 32-bit microcontroller devices use a patented dual-crossbar architecture that allows designers to choose peripherals and pinout placement without worrying about pre-set limitations and pin conflicts — simplifying PCB routing, minimizing PCB layers and ultimately reducing design time and system cost.

Patented Dual-Crossbar Architecture for 32-bit ARM Microcontrollers

Here's what sets the 32-bit ARM microcontroller apart from the rest: Put Practically Any Peripheral On Any Pin Using Silicon Labs’ patented dual-crossbar technology and a drag-and-drop GUI, developers can easily choose their analog and digital peripherals and pin locations for these peripherals. Competing MCUs often have preset peripheral locations and pinouts, leading to pin conflicts that force developers to alter their designs or move to larger, more expensive packages. Last-minute changes are not a problem. Integrated Analog with No Compromise Performance Smart Integration — Highly-Integrated Peripherals Low Power Consumption. Processors. ARM architecture. ARM is a family of instruction set architectures for computer processors based on a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architecture developed by British company ARM Holdings.

ARM architecture

ARM Holdings develops the instruction set and architecture for ARM-based products, but does not manufacture products. The company periodically releases updates to its cores. Current cores from ARM Holdings support a 32-bit address space and 32-bit arithmetic; the ARMv8-A architecture, announced in October 2011,[6] adds support for a 64-bit address space and 64-bit arithmetic. Instructions for ARM Holdings' cores have 32-bit-wide fixed-length instructions, but later versions of the architecture also support a variable-length instruction set that provides both 32-bit and 16-bit-wide instructions for improved code density. Some cores can also provide hardware execution of Java bytecodes.
