ARM7 TDMI Processor

The ARM7TDMI core is a member of the ARM family of general-purpose 32-bit microprocessors.
The ARM family offers high performance for very low-power consumption and gate count.
The ARM architecture is based on Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) principles. The RISC instruction set, and related decode mechanism are much simpler than those of Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) designs.
This simplicity gives:
a high instruction throughput
an excellent real-time interrupt response
a small, cost-effective, processor macro cell.
The ARM7TDMI processor uses a pipeline to increase the speed of the flow of instructions to the processor. This enables several operations to take place simultaneously, and the processing, and memory systems to operate continuously.
