Whois & Analysis for nuvoton.com

The ARM Cortex-M is a group of 32-bit RISC ARM processor cores licensed by ARM Holdings for microcontroller use.

The cores consist of the Cortex-M0, Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4(F), Cortex-M7(F), Cortex-M23, Cortex-M33(F).

If the Cortex-M4 / M7 / M33 silicon has the FPU option, then the core is known as the Cortex-M4F / Cortex-M7F / Cortex-M33F.

ARM Cortex-M cores have been shipped in tens of billions of devices.

A microcontroller (or MCU for microcontroller unit) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit.

In modern terminology, it is a System on a chip or SoC.

A microcontroller contains one or more CPUs (processor cores) along with memory and programmable input/output peripherals.

Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a small amount of RAM.

Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications consisting of various discrete chips.

Nuvoton Technology Corporation is a Taiwan-based semiconductor company established in 2008.

It spun off from Winbond Electronics Corp.

as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Super I/O is a class of I/O controller integrated circuits that began to be used on personal computer motherboards in the late 1980s, originally as add-in cards, later embedded on the motherboards.

A super I/O chip combines interfaces for a variety of low-bandwidth devices.

The functions below are usually provided by the super I/O if they are on the motherboard:

In the microelectronics industry a semiconductor fabrication plant (commonly called a fab; sometimes foundry) is a factory where devices such as integrated circuits are manufactured.
