SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 08, 2017 –
ON Semiconductor threw its weight behind a standards group developing benchmarks for ultra-low power microcontrollers and edge-node device for the Internet of Things (IoT).
ON Semi (Phoenix) announced Tuesday (Nov. 7) it joined the low-power subcommittee of EEMBC, the Embedded Microcontroller Benchmark Consortium. The committee is comprised of the IoTConnect work group and ULPMark work group.
IoTConnect has already produced its initial benchmark, IoTMark-BLE, which tests the efficiency of microcontrollers and Bluetooth radios, according to EEMBC. ULPMark has produced a combination of benchmarks that target the efficiency of microcontroller cores and peripherals, results of which can be found online, the organization said.
ON Semi kicked off its membership with the publication of CoreMark results for its RSL10 product family. Its Arm Cortex-M3 performance results indicate a certification score of 159.46 at 48 MHz, which is 3.32 CoreMark/MHz and translates to a power score of 248.5 CoreMark/mA at 3V, the company said. Adding the 32-bit DSP joint score, the total CoreMark performance is 283.8 CoreMark at 48 MHz (5.91 CoreMark/MHz), the company said.
