Toshiba Selects Sonics for New ApP Lite TZ2000 Series
Milpitas, Calif. – January 13, 2015 – Sonics, Inc., the world’s foremost supplier of on-chip network (NoC) technologies and services, today announced that long-time customer Toshiba has finished the system-on-chip (SoC) design using Sonics’ on-chip network IP for its new TZ2100 group of application processors. The TZ2100 group of applications processors are the newest addition to Toshiba’s ApP Lite™ TZ2000 series. With this group of ApP Lite™ devices, sound and image communications can be securely processed at high speeds, making them well-suited for applications such as smart appliances, industrial CPUs, panel-control systems, and machine-to-machine [M2M] communication modules.
The relationship between Sonics and Toshiba spans more than 12 years of design success. Toshiba’s design history using Sonics’ NoCs covers SoCs for gaming, digital TV, mobile, and automotive applications, and with the recent introduction of the TZ2000 series, application processors. The company’s designs have progressed significantly in terms of complexity (number of IP blocks integrated) and performance (clock speed and process nodes). In aggregate, Toshiba has shipped more than 200 million SoCs with Sonics’ NoCs serving as the communication fabric for heterogeneous, multi-core integration.
“Toshiba was an early proponent of Sonics’ on-chip networks and continues to be one of our most valued customers,” said Grant Pierce, CEO of Sonics. “We are honored to be chosen for the TZ2100 group of application processors and look forward to working together for many years to come.”
“Sonics’ on-chip network products play a critical role in the integration of our complex SoC designs,” said Katsuya Konishi, General Manager, Logic LSI Design Department, Logic LSI Division of Toshiba Corporation Semiconductor & Storage Products Company. “They help us achieve the time-to-market and performance requirements for these projects. We are very pleased to reach this important milestone in our relationship and plan to continue using Sonics’ IP in our ASSPs and ASICs.”
