Open, flexible, and scalable computing architectures are clearly in the spotlight of the rapidly changing world of embedded systems at Embedded world 2026. Other bright lights in this area include T2M IP, which boasts of a large RISC-V IP Core Portfolio that is set to transform the ways in which semiconductor IP cores are patented in the automotive, Internet of Things (IoT), and industrial markets. This blog goes into the depth of the T2M IP portfolio, where the product capabilities, the architecture, the integration of the ecosystem, the performance, and the real-world design applications are literally unpacked and ready to propel next-generation embedded systems.
Introduction to RISC-V and the T2M IP Vision
What Is RISC-V and Why It Matters
Fundamentally, RISC-V is an open standardized instruction set architecture (ISA) that frees designers of constraining licensing concepts of proprietary architectures. This is because the openness of RISC-V enables innovation, customisation and fast time-to-market and that is how it meets the demands of embedded system design in the future. It is designed to support an ultra-low power microcontroller or high-performance compute platform, which might have a major effect on automotive control units, IoT end nodes, and industrial automation systems.
T2M IP: A Strategic Partner in Embedded Innovation
T2M IP has established itself as a progressive semiconductor intellectual property company that aims to market total, top-quality RISC-v IP cores. Modularity is matched with robustness in the portfolio of the company which supports designs of both deeply embedded sensors to high-throughput control processors. T2M IP at Embedded World 2026 depicts the flexibility and opportunity to demonstrate future readiness of its semiconductor IP cores to hardware architects, firmware engineers, and system integrators through demonstration, whitepapers, and hands-on sessions.
RISC-V IP Core Portfolio Overview
Core Processor IPs
RISC-V 32-Bit Embedded Cores
The 32-bit RISC-V cores of the T2M IP family are designed with energy efficient performance. They have their basis on these cores, which form the basis of a broad range of IoT and automotive microcontroller units (MCUs). They provide deterministic real-time response that is important in sensor fusion, power control and control loops.
These RISC-V IP cores have a low-power low-silicon-footprint pipeline architecture. They are meant to help with real-time operating systems, effective interrupt processing and debug flexibility in interfaces. The cores are checked on industry standards and customized to be outstanding performance in heavily embedded systems where reliability and power efficiency is the key.
The 32-bit cores also offer hardware support of standard RISC-V compressed instruction sets, allowing to use less memory without loss in performance. It is especially applicable to IoT end nodes, where it is a common constraint to have energy scavenging and limited memory.
RISC-V 64-Bit High-Performance Cores
T2M IP products also offer 64-bit RISC based core designs with higher throughput capabilities like advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS), high-end industrial controllers, and edge computing gateways. Such 64-bit cores can be implemented as single-core processors or as multi-core processors. They provide greater computational power with the same flexibility as RISC-V in its modular extensions of the ISA.
These high-performance cores will have optional floating-point units on the high-performance cores, memory management units (MMUs) on the high-performance cores, and high-bandwidth cache hierarchies. The integration of highly sophisticated interrupt controllers as well as peripheral interfaces allows smooth integration with intricate SoC environments.
Domain-Specific Accelerator IPs
DSP and ML Accelerator IPs
The future embedded systems will no longer be satisfied with general-purpose computing; they must also contain domain-specific acceleration. T2M IP delivers on this need by providing dedicated RISC-V ecosystem machine learning (ML) accelerator IPs and digital signal processing (DSP) accelerator IPs. The accelerators are used to improve signal processing, FFT, neural network inference and pattern recognition applications in automotive radar processing, industrial predictive maintenance and smart sensors on the internet of things.
The DSP accelerator is closely coupled with host RISC-V cores, allowing it to efficiently move data and compute in low latency. The ML accelerator will have the ability to support typical neural network architectures with programmable data precision, between 8-bit integer and 16-bit floating-point instructions, that provides a trade-off between energy consumption and computing throughput.
Cryptography and Security Engine IPs
In all the embedded systems, security is a leading concern particularly in connected automotive and IoT systems. T2M IP supports AES, SHA, RSA, and post-quantum cryptographic engine IPs. These engines are developed to run on hardware that has a secure storage of keys, anti-tamper resistant and side channels.
The security IPs meet the industry standards and certifications applicable to the automotive cybersecurity standards and the IoT security standards. RISC-V SoCs can be designed with these solutions in order to offload cryptographic operations to a main processor to enhance performance and system security.
Advanced Interconnect and SoC Integration Suites
Configurable Bus and Interconnect Fabrics
To construct a system-on-a-chip that is cohesive several interconnects can be used which would be reliable because they would exchange data among the processor cores, accelerators and the peripherals. T2M IP offers interconnect products with configurable bus fabrics in AMBA AXI, AHB and APB protocols. These are fabrics that are customized to suit the system latency and throughput specifications of automotive and industrial workloads.
The interconnect IPs do support quality of service (QoS) observations to pre-empt the traffic to real time activities and processing multimedia. They also encompass error detection and error correct mechanisms which are critical to functional safety domains.
System Integration and Debug IPs
T2M IP provides system integration IPs such as debug, trace and performance monitoring modules to simplify SoC development. These elements make firmware development and system validation easy through enabling accessibility into internal states, performance counters, and trace buffers. The debug infrastructure accommodates industry standard tools and interfaces with popular debug probe interfaces.
Architecture and Design Benefits
Modular and Scalable Design Philosophy
One of the strengths of the T2M IP portfolio is that it has been modular. Designers have the option of choosing and integrating processor cores, accelerator processors, security engines and interconnect components depending on the requirements of the application. The modular architecture is scalable, allowing designs to go beyond the requirements of simple sensor controllers, all the way to complex automotive compute clusters.
Seamless Ecosystem Compatibility
The T2M IP RISC-V IP cores are also based on RISC-V specifications and standard extensions to ISA.

Freedom of choice in compilers, debuggers and development environments helps developers to prototype and reuse software within a short time.
Power Efficiency and Performance
The RISC-V streamlined ISA and the design optimizations of T2M IP allows outstanding performances per watt in the whole portfolio. Managing nodes deeply embedded to support IoT, or supporting high-priority tasks in real-time systems, the cores provide predictable performance on a very limited power budget, which is a very important feature of battery-powered and thermally limited applications.
Security and Safety by Design
Embedded systems are becoming more sensitive to powerful security and functional safety. The security engines, physical unclonable function (PUF) modules and safety-oriented design practices at T2M IP can assist designers to reach the automotive safety levels based on automotive safety integrity (ASIL) and industrial safety.
