  • Abstract
    The described microprocessor is a micropower multitask machine with a hardware scheduler. The task switching is performed at the instruction level. The programmer may choose a task configuration, i.e. one to four pseudo-parallel tasks depending on the application. To replace a software scheduler by a hardware scheduler allows to reduce the power consumption.
