Asmgrid blockdiagram

 

The ASMgrid1 SoC Platform is the industry first customizable silicon platform tailored to the demanding needs of Smart Grid products, from Smart Meters to Smart Appliances. The first generation ASMgrid platform integrated unprecedented technology breadth: ZigBee Pro, Powerline Communication, ARM® Cortex™-M3, embedded flash, and LCD controller. ASMgrid1’s modular approach enables rapid silicon modifications with mass production in as little as 3-6 months. Development cost is correspondingly reduced by as much as 75% compared to a traditional custom silicon approach. The ASMgrid1 architecture and methodology is tested, silicon verified, and certified. The turnkey solution includes a comprehensive set of software libraries, protocol stacks, and development tools.
