ARM720T

32-bit RISC processor with 8kByte Cache, Write Buffer and MMU built around an ARM7TDMI core. The ARM720T macrocell is a 32-bit embedded RISC processor designed for devices using a platform operating system, such as Windows CE, Symbian OS and Linux. In addition to the CPU core, the ARM720T features an 8k Byte unified cache and MMU together with an AMBA-compliant AHB bus interface. It is delivered as a hard macrocell optimized to provide the best combination of performance, power and area characteristics. The ARM720T macrocell enables system designers to build open platform devices requiring small size, low power and high performance.

The ARM7 family also includes the, and processor cores, each of which has been developed to address different market requirements.
