Energy saving power-down modes address static leakage currents in advanced processes

Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) technology for dynamic power management (ARM1176JZ-S and ARM1176JZF-S cores)

High performance integer processor

8-stage integer pipeline delivers high clock frequency (9 stages for ARM1156T2(F)-S)

Separate load-store and arithmetic pipelines

Branch Prediction and Return Stack

High performance memory system design

Supports 4-64k cache sizes

Optional tightly coupled memories with DMA for multi-media applications

High-performance 64-bit memory system speeds data access for media processing and networking applications

ARMv6 memory system architecture accelerates OS context-switch

Vectored interrupt interface and low-interrupt-latency mode speeds interrupt response and real-time performance

Optional Vector Floating Point coprocessor (ARM1136JF-S, ARM1176JZF-S and ARM1156T2F-S cores) for automotive/industrial controls and 3D graphics acceleration

All ARM11 cores are delivered as ARM- Synopsys Reference Methodology compliant deliverables which significantly reduce the time to generate a specific technology implementation of the core and to generate a complete set of industry standard views and models.
