摘要：
AMULET2e is an embedded system chip incorporating a 32-bit ARM-compatible asynchronous processor core, a 4-Kb pipelined cache, a flexible memory interface with dynamic bus sizing, and assorted programmable control functions. Many on-chip performance-enhancing and power-saving features are switchable, enabling detailed experimental analysis of their effectiveness. AMULET2e silicon demonstrates competitive performance and power efficiency: ease of system design, and it includes innovative features that exploit its asynchronous operation to advantage in applications that require low standby power and/or freedom from the electromagnetic interference generated by system clocks.
