Design and Implementation of an Area-Optimized RISC-V Microcontroller with Native APB Interconnect for Low-Power Embedded Applications
This paper describes NexusV, a small, ultra-low-power, 32-bit RV32I+ZiCSR RISC-V softcore microcontroller optimized for resource-constrained embedded systems. The processor employs a deterministic multi-cycle design that timemultiplexes a single Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) to minimize datapath logic. Synthesized on the...
