Less than one minute read time.

ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers are becoming the defacto standard for the next generation of low power control applications.This paper looks at the various criteria to be considered when selecting a processor for low power control applications, and how the Cortex-M0+ processor, the lowest power member of the ARM Cortex-M processor family, was designed to meet these requirements.

    This is a great article about the Cortex-M0+ processor and is applicable to the readers of the  Embedded group as well as there are lots of little snippets of useful information.

    Thanks for sharing this Joseph - I look forward to the next article.
