Cortex-M55 is an ultra-low-power ARM microarchitecture designed by ARM Holdings for microcontrollers and embedded subsystems. This microarchitecture is designed as a synthesizable IP core and is sold to other semiconductor companies to be implemented in their own chips. The Cortex-M55, which implemented the ARMv8.1-M ISA, is an ultra-low-power core which is often found in microcontrllers, low-power chips, and in the embedded subsystems of more powerful chips.

History

The Cortex-M55 was officially launched on February 10, 2020. Support for custom instructions will be added in 2021.

Process Technology

Though the Cortex-M55 is designed to be fabricated on various different process nodes ranging from very mature nodes such as the 130 nm to leading-edge 7 nm and 5 nm nodes.
