SPEAr family of embedded
microprocessors
STMicroelectronics
www.st.com/spear
SPEAr devices, based on ARM core architecture, offer substantial processing
power and wide peripheral support
Embedded applications today demand increasingly higher levels of performance and power efficiency for
computing, communication, control, security and multimedia.
ST’s SPEAr® embedded MPUs meet these challenges head-on with state-of-the-art architecture, silicon
technology and intellectual property, targeting networked devices used for communication, display and control of
a broad range of applications.
The SPEAr family of embedded microprocessors are based on ARM cores: a single ARM926EJ-S core for the
SPEAr300 series, dual ARM926EJ-S cores for the SPEAr600, and dual Cortex-A9 cores for the SPEAr1300 series.

Key benefits
The family presents a scalable
processing power range,
depending on the type and number
of cores used
Within a series, each device targets
a specific application segment, and
offers peripherals and controllers in
line with this specialization
All SPEAr embedded
microprocessors embed the
external memory management
function via a dynamic memory
controller
QQ
QQ
ST’s low-power technology makes SPEAr microprocessors extremely
power-efficient, permitting portable applications to run longer without
recharging, saving operating costs for end customers and allowing your
applications to meet the most stringent regulatory standards
Standard core architecture is supported by a wide range of 3rd party tool
providers, for easy development

SPEAr1340
ST’s SPEAr1340 integrates a powerful ARM Mali-200 graphics processing unit to offer advanced 2D and 3D acceleration for
user interfaces, navigation, browsing and gaming. This device also embeds a hardware video encoder and decoder supporting
major compression standards (including H.264 and AVS), with video resolution up to 1080p and 30 frames per second. These
capabilities also enable multiple concurrent video flows in applications like surveillance and video-conferencing. Hardware
implementations of graphic and video capabilities in the SPEAr1340 result in state-of-the art multimedia performance at ultralow power consumption. Meanwhile, the two Cortex-A9 cores are available to perform concurrent tasks as required. With
its multiple interfaces, including I2S and S/PDIF, the SPEAr1340 also provides excellent audio capabilities, handling up to 7.1
surround-sound configurations in both input and output paths.
In security, the SPEAr1340 integrates a multi-standard cryptographic engine and one-time programmable (OTP) registers for
unique identification and external Flash memory anti-tamper protection.
Manufactured in ST’s low-power 55 nm HCMOS (high-speed CMOS) process technology, this new microprocessor benefits
from the state-of-the-art SPEAr1300 architecture, which combines the unrivalled low-power and multi-processing capabilities
of two ARM Cortex-A9 cores with innovative network-on-chip (NoC) technology.
The SPEAr1340 has a dual ARM Cortex-A9 core and is optimized for user interfaces and multimedia in web-connected and
industrial applications, including applications with high-resolution video-conferencing and security cameras.
