ARM Cortex–M0+ core with MPU

The BlueNRG-LP contains an ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller core. The Cortex-M0+ was developed to provide

a low-cost platform that meets the needs of CPU implementation, with a reduced pin count and low-power

consumption, while delivering outstanding computational performance and an advanced response to interrupts.

The Cortex-M0+ can run from 1 MHz up to 64 MHz.

The Cortex-M0+ processor is built on a highly area and power optimized 32-bit processor core, with a 2-stage

pipeline Von Neumann architecture. The processor delivers exceptional energy efficiency through a small but

powerful instruction set and extensively optimized design, providing high-end processing hardware including a

single-cycle multiplier.

The interrupts are handled by the Cortex-M0+ Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC). The NVIC controls

specific Cortex-M0+ interrupts as well as the BlueNRG-LP peripheral interrupts. With its embedded ARM core, the

BlueNRG-LP family is compatible with all ARM tools and software.
