ARM1176JZFS
The ARM1176JZFS is a 32-bit RISC microprocessor core designed by ARM Holdings. It is part of the ARM11 family, which is known for its high performance and low power consumption. The ARM1176JZFS core is a superscalar processor, capable of executing multiple instructions per clock cycle, which enhances its performance compared to simpler, single-issue cores. It features a 6-stage pipeline, which includes instruction fetch, decode, execute, memory access, and write-back stages. The core supports the ARMv6 instruction set architecture, which includes a range of instructions optimized for embedded applications. The ARM1176JZFS core is often used in mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, as well as in other embedded systems where performance and power efficiency are crucial. It is also notable for its inclusion of a memory management unit (MMU), which allows for advanced memory management features, including virtual memory and protection. The ARM1176JZFS core is typically manufactured using ARM's proprietary cell-based design methodology, which allows for efficient and scalable implementation across different process technologies.
