System Overview
The SCuM-V23 chip offers several GPIO pins, a single UART bus, QSPI Flash, and an on-chip, crystal-free RTC with capture and compare registers. This iteration of the chip did not support I2C or an AES accelerator.
SCuM-V23 has several new features introduced over its predecessor SCuM-V22:
- 32-bit Rocket core with cryptography acceleration
- Switched capacitor DC-DC converter cascaded with LDOs
- 90 GHz FMCW radar transmitter
- 18-bit µV-precision ADC
