Avnet ASIC Israel Joins ARM ATAP Program
CAMBRIDGE, UK AND Kfar Saba/Tel-Mond, Israel – Nov. 3, 2003 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC processor solutions, and Avnet ASIC Israel, Ltd. (AAI), previously known as RDT, a subsidiary of Avnet, Inc., the world's largest distributor of electronic components and design services, announced that AAI has joined the ARM ATAP™ technology access program. As an ATAP Partner, AAI will serve as an ARM Approved Design Center for fast-growing fabless semiconductor companies, as well as traditional ASIC clients in Israel.
The global trend toward outsourcing of ASIC design has created a growing need for design centers that have a proven track record of proficiency. The ATAP program provides a framework for selecting competent design centers equipped with the ARM technology necessary for complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs. AAI's entry into the program offers Israeli developers a design center with a proven ability to handle the complex tasks associated with SoC design.
"It is especially important for our Partners in fast-growing markets to have a local support network and resources to produce next-generation products without sacrificing time-to-market," said Shlomo Rosenberg, country manager, ARM Israel. "AAI's demonstrated expertise, in conjunction with its existing relationships with Foundry Program Partners such as Tower Semiconductor and others, ensures that developers in this region will be well served. ARM is looking to increase its partnership with Israeli companies, and the ATAP program is yet another way to enable the local market."
"Becoming the first Israeli Partner in the ATAP program facilitates AAI's ability to offer our design services for the industry standard ARM microprocessor cores," said Nadav Ben-Ezer, managing director, AAI. "AAI's expertise combined with the ARM support center will enable us to offer our customers low-risk solutions with short design cycles."
About the ATAP Program
ATAP design partners must go through a strict qualification process to become an ARM Approved Design Center. This includes a design flow audit, training on implementing designs with ARM cores, tools, AMBA™ bus peripherals and development techniques. Each design center must demonstrate its own unique skills in specific technology domains, as well as market segment expertise. The ATAP program also provides additional benefits such as geographic and time-zone locality and local language support.
