New strength added to domestic general-purpose MCUs--Xinji Semiconductor launches the HPM6300 series

Domestic general-purpose MCU adds new strength

Pioneer Semiconductor launches HPM6300 series—— high performance, low power consumption, high cost performance

Shanghai, China (May 9, 2022) - Pioneer Semiconductor, a new MCU manufacturer in the industry, announced the official launch of the HPM6300 series in May 2022. This is the addition of a new force after the release of the world's most powerful RISC-V microcontroller HPM6700/6400 series in November last year - a RISC-V general-purpose microcontroller that combines high performance, high real-time, low power consumption and high cost performance.

"Since the mass production of the HPM6700 series of Xianji in January this year, it has been widely recognized in the market and has been shipped in batches. The HPM6300 inherits the high-performance characteristics of the HPM6700, and has made further optimizations in terms of cost, power consumption, DSP and other aspects, and launched the QFP package, further expanding the coverage of Xianji MCU products in the market." said Zeng Jintao, CEO of Xianji Semiconductor, "The entire HPM6000 family has good compatibility and scalability. Customers can choose the best option in the HPM6000 family according to their application requirements."

The HPM6300 series flagship product HPM6360 has a main frequency of over 600 MHz , a performance of over 3390 CoreMark and 1710 DMIPS, and a newly added built-in fast Fourier transform and digital filter hardware acceleration engine, which greatly improves the calculation speed of FFT and FIR. The computing performance is better than the mainstream DSP dedicated chips on the market. In addition, the HPM6300 series has been deeply optimized in terms of power consumption, and a more refined division of the power management domain has been made, achieving a standby power consumption as low as 1.5uA and an operating power consumption as low as 40mA (full speed running coremark, peripheral clock turned off), which are lower than the power consumption of similar international brands on the market. At the same time, the HPM6300 series provides eLQFP144 and small volume 7x7 BGA116 packages to simplify user board-level design. Combined with the more friendly price of the HPM6300 series, users can get the most cost-effective solution.

"I am very happy to see that the Pioneer team has released two high-performance MCU series in half a year, which fully demonstrates the technical capabilities and fighting spirit of the Pioneer team. China's semiconductor industry needs start-ups like Pioneer that are bold in innovation and pursue breakthroughs." Sun Yuwang, founding partner and president of SMIC Juyuan, said, "As an investor of Pioneer Semiconductor, SMIC Juyuan will continue to provide comprehensive resource support to Pioneer Semiconductor and work with it to create world-leading domestic MCU products. At the same time, we will work hard to realize our own mission and original intention of "promoting innovation and development of China's integrated circuit industry."

HPM6300 full series Products adopt Andes D45 RISC-V core , support double-precision floating-point operations, and built-in 768KB SRAM. Analog modules include 16-bit-ADC, 12-bit DAC and analog comparator, with multiple nanosecond-level high-resolution PWM, providing powerful hardware support for motor control and digital power applications; Communication interfaces include real-time Ethernet, support for IEEE1588, high-speed USB with built-in PHY, multi-channel CAN-FD and rich UART, SPI, I2C.

The HPM6300 product family covers a wide range, including the 600Mhz HPM6360 version and the cost-effective 200MHz entry-level HPM6330 version.

It is worth mentioning that SEGGER also provides a complete ecosystem for developers, including the completely free commercial integrated development environment SEGGER Embedded Studio, and the SDK based on the BSD license, which includes the underlying driver, middleware and RTOS, such as lwIP, TinyUSB, FreeRTOS, etc. All the above official software products will be open source.

Samples:

The HPM6300 series is available for order now, with samples and development boards available starting in June 2022.
