ARM processor to be utilized in wireless applications processor supporting multiple features at low power
HSINCHU, TAIWAN AND CAMBRIDGE, UK – Aug. 7, 2007 – ARM today announced that AIT, a manufacturer of highly integrated multimedia processors for mobile phones, has licensed the ARM926EJ-STM processor. This licensing agreement will enable AIT to benefit from leading ARM® processor technology, as well as the ARM ecosystem, to accelerate the design of advanced SoC solutions for next-generation feature phones incorporating digital camera technology.
As digital cameras, MP3 players and Internet browsers become “must have” features in mobile handsets, the need for enhanced low-power processing engines has grown significantly. To address this challenge, ARM provides advanced processing performance, as well as a comprehensive ecosystem whereby its Partners can easily access all resources, tools and support essential to increase design efficiency.
“Growing consumer demand is driving the development of SoC solutions that enable rich multimedia performance in a range of feature phones and smartphones,” said Andy Tsai, assistant vice president, AIT. “By licensing the ARM926EJ-S processor, AIT is able to combine our multimedia expertise with ARM’s leading technology and integrate advanced features in our SoC solutions, which enable sharper and more brilliant images, better sound quality, and a more complete multimedia experience in mobile devices.”
“The market for new feature phones is dynamic, as consumers increasingly expect advanced functions such as high mega-pixel cameras to be a standard component of mobile handsets,” said Stuart Ching, vice president, IP sales, ARM. “This licensing agreement enables AIT to fully utilize low-power ARM technology for new mobile applications and also underscores ARM’s ongoing commitment to work closely with our Partner community in Taiwan.”
About the ARM926EJ-S processor
The ARM926EJ-S macrocell is fully synthesizable, and features a Jazelle® technology-enhanced 32-bit RISC CPU, flexible size instruction and data caches, tightly coupled memory (TCM) interfaces and memory management unit (MMU). It also provides separate instruction and data AMBA® bus compliant AHB™ interfaces, particularly suitable for Multi-layer AHB technology-based systems. The ARM926EJ-S processor implements the ARMv5TEJ instruction set and includes an enhanced 16- x 32-bit multiplier, capable of single cycle MAC operations. It also supports all major operating systems and existing middleware.
