MCU Overview Slide 10

The Hercules safety microcontroller platform consists of three ARM® Cortex™ based microcontroller families: TMS470M, TMS570 and RM4x. Designed specifically for IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 safety critical applications, the Hercules platform provides advanced integrated safety features while delivering scalable performance, connectivity, and memory options. The device architecture offers protection against both random and systematic failures, grants headroom for customer application differentiation, and allows for simplified development and safety certification. The broad portfolio offers speeds up to 220 MHz and to over 350 DMIPS. Hercules also comes bundled with its HALCoGen GUI-based configuration and driver tool to reduce time to market and development costs. Finally, developers can be rest assured that each device comes with proven reliability based on TI’s twenty plus years of safety-critical system expertise.
