ARM Strengthens Technology Access Program with Global Network of Design Centers
"Design houses, such as those included in ARM's ATAP program, play an increasingly important role in the integration of intellectual property (IP) into system-on-chip designs," said Jim Tully, chief analyst at Dataquest. "Closer relationships between IP providers, ASIC vendors, system OEMs and design houses is inevitable in the embedded industry, as this type of SoC collaboration enables accelerated design processes while reducing time-to-market."
First introduced in December 1998, ARM's ATAP program provides developers worldwide with access to design centers that are trained, qualified and equipped with ARM hardware and software tools for integrating ARM CPU cores and AMBA[tm] bus peripherals into ASIC and SoC designs. ATAP partners now include Barco Silex (Belgium), Cadence (Scotland), Sican GmbH (Germany and California), Siemens (Germany), SOTA Design Technology Inc. (Taiwan), Winfinity (Germany) and Wipro Limited (India).
"ARM developed the ATAP program to provide our partners with the greatest possible flexibility and freedom of choice for design expertise for any digital electronic product application, from networking to automotive to wireless communications," said David Lewis, ATAP program manager, ARM. "With these new ATAP members now qualified as ARM Approved Design Centers, we have more than 600 engineers who are able to support ARM Powered[tm] SoC development activity, in any region and any time zone around the world."

About Barco Silex
"As a member of ARM's ATAP program, Barco Silex is able to increase our abilities to provide high-quality ARM core-based designs and offer our customers the technical expertise they require for their rapidly increasing time-to-market requirements," said Geert Decorte, business development, Barco Silex.
About Siemens
"Siemens ATD has previously decided on the ARM AMBA bus as the preferred interconnection for it's own silicon IP products," said Dr. Artur Weller, manager of the ATD Electronic Design Centre. "This partnership with ARM in the ATAP program will strengthen the ability of Siemens ATD to deliver embedded solutions around this key microcontroller architecture."
About SOTA Design Technology Inc.
"SOTA has been focusing our efforts on the Internet appliances (IA) market for years, and ARM clearly is the leader in providing CPU engines in this field," said Mr. Yih-Sheng Wey, president, SOTA. "This alliance with ARM will definitely help us in providing our customers with highest integrated, most cost-effective solutions in the future."
About Winfinity
"Winfinity has gathered many years of design experience in ARM core-based SoC integration," said Walter Ortmeuller, head of SoC Design Centre, Winfinity. "We have been involved with ARM in SoC methodology since 1991/1992, and look forward to expanding our relationship as an ATAP partner. This alliance with ARM will definitely help us to provide our customers with cost-effective SoC solutions with the shortest possible time-to-market."
