Pushing the limits of tomorrow's technology today: Artisan physical IP for 7nmarm Blogs - Ron Moore, ARMDec. 08, 2016 |
ARM Physical IP for TSMC 7nm process technology now available
Gone are the days when FPGAs were used primarily for prototyping. Today, developers can drive quickly and cost-effectively into IoT, embedded vision, cloud computing and other sectors using FPGAs. Xilinx is among the companies that have helped enable this drive in recent years, offering new architectures and products on leading-edge process nodes, including 28nm, 20nm and 16nm.
Each of these nodes can bring with it cost challenges and potential risks that can derail the best engineering intentions. ARM has partnered with Xilinx for four process technology generations to deliver physical IP solutions to speed innovation and minimize cost and risk. The strong partnership continues at 7nm: Xilinx, I am pleased to announce, has licensed the ARM® Artisan® physical IP platform for TSMC 7nm FinFET (7FF) process technology to develop its next generation of All Programmable products.
