Driven by Sony’s cutting-edge microcontroller technology
The Spresense board is driven by Sony’s cutting-edge microcontroller technology, featuring the CXD5602 microcontroller at its core. This powerhouse of a chip houses six ARM Cortex-M4F cores, each capable of running at speeds of up to 156MHz, and includes an integrated GPS for location-based applications. What makes the CXD5602 stand out is its use of the FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator) manufacturing technique, which significantly enhances its power efficiency. This efficiency is crucial for applications that rely on battery power, enabling the Spresense board to operate effectively in a wide range of battery-dependent scenarios.
