Storm-1 Series

Storm-1 processors

The Storm-1 Series enable designers to meet requirements for demanding embedded multimedia and signal processing applications.

With up to 16 integrated cores, Storm-1 delivers the equivalent of 11 GHz of performance at significantly lower cost and power compared to traditional DSP or FPGA solutions.

State-of-the-art ANSI C development environment removes the complexity of traditional DSP or multi-core programming.

Storm-1 Series includes four devices, from the low-power SP8LP-G30, to the ultra-high performance SP16HP-G220.

Benefits and features

Flexibility → Full software programmability combined with leading compute performance of more than 100,000 MMACs.
Lower total costs → Leading price/performance and an efficient ANSI C development environment that eliminates the complexities of multicore.
Get faster to market → Straightforward C programmability and a rich set of libraries reduce effort compared to ASICs, FPGAs or multi-core design methodology.
Standards-based → Linux, ANSI C, and industry-standard 32-bit MIPS architecture promote code reuse and leveraging of open source.
Integrated solution → Rich I/O set with on-chip Host CPU for single-chip implementations, supporting SD/HD video ports, PCI and Gbit Ethernet.
