Altera Licenses ARM Core To Enable System-On-A-Programmable-Chip Design
- Altera to Integrate ARM Microprocessors as Part of New ExcaliburTM Embedded Processor Solutions
"The integration of ARM's high-performance, low-power embedded processor cores with Altera's APEX architecture is a key to the success of our Excalibur solutions and system-on-a-programmable-chip designs," said Rodney Smith, Altera chairman, president and CEO. "The Excalibur solutions provide the broad marketplace with a pre-licensed, off-the-shelf, programmable alternative to ASICs, ASSPs, and stand-alone embedded processors. This will deliver the flexibility and horsepower designers require for next-generation designs."
"By combining ARM processors with Altera's programmable logic solutions, designers will reap the benefits of high-performance silicon that is also user-configurable," said Robin Saxby, ARM chairman and CEO. "As a leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor solutions, we believe the ARM architecture will enable a new level of flexible and high-performance products in all industries, especially the communications market."
About ARM
ARM, a leading intellectual property (IP) provider, licenses high-performance, low-cost, power-efficient RISC processors, peripherals, and system-chip designs to leading international electronics companies. ARM also provides comprehensive support required in developing a complete system. ARM's microprocessor cores are rapidly becoming the volume RISC standard in such markets as portable communications, handheld computing, multimedia, digital consumer and embedded solutions.
