The DesignWare® ARC™ 750D core is ideal for complex system-on-chips (SoCs) running Linux, Android or other high-end operating systems. It is a complete application processor solution for home entertainment systems, portable devices such as smartphones and PMPs, MIDs, automotive telematics systems, and many other information-based products. The DesignWare ARC 750D core requires less than half the die area and half the power compared to other cores that are similar in confi guration and speed. In addition, custom extensions may optionally be incorporated to achieve application performance levels unattainable with fixed architecture cores. CPU Architecture

Features
- Optional DesignWare ARC XY Advanced DSP subsystem delivers the
- performance of dedicated DSP cores, allowing external logic and DSP blocks to
- be eliminated.
- DesignWare ARCompact™ 16-/32-bit Instruction Set Architecture reduces code
- size by up to 40 percent compared to 32-bit only instruction sets.
- JTAG debug port and optional embedded hardware breakpoints facilitate software debug.
Benefits
- An MMU-based memory sub-system supports Linux, Android and other high-end
- operating systems.
- A highly confi gurable architecture allows SoC designers to include only the
- User-defi ned instruction and register extensions deliver 5–100 times performance
- Built-in DSP features include instruction and register extensions that accelerate
Deliverables
