Matsushita Electric Licenses ARM Cores For Wireless Devices
CAMBRIDGE, UK and OSAKA, JAPAN -- Sept. 10, 2002 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. of Japan, (NYSE: MC), today announced that Matsushita has licensed the ARM946E-S™ and the ARM926EJ-S™ microprocessor cores.
Using these ARM microprocessor cores, Matsushita will offer advanced system-on-chip (SoC) products for use in future wireless devices such as mobile phones including W-CDMA devices.
This licence expands Matsushita's use of ARM cores and will enable them to reinforce their presence in the embedded market. ARM cores previously licensed by Matsushita include the ARM7TDMI® core and the ARM920T™ core. The ARM926EJ-S core combines industry-leading performance and very low power requirements with support for ARM Jazelle™ technology for Java acceleration. The ARM946E-S core is a complete high-performance embedded processor solution, offering considerable savings in chip complexity and area, chip system design, power consumption and time-to-market.
"Matsushita has experienced much success with the ARM7TDMI and the ARM920T cores, which we applied to our SoC for mobile telecommunications products including cdmaOne™ and W-CDMA," said Katsuhiko Ueda, Processor Development Center director for Matsushita Electric Industrial. "With this core reinforcement, we will promptly offer best SoC solutions for a wide range of our customer's needs."
"Matsushita has a tremendous track record in the wireless sector and a reputation for innovation. Together we will continue to improve the performance and capabilities of next generation wireless devices," said Takio Ishikawa, president, ARM KK. "ARM's cores are well proven in the wireless market and continue to drive the market's move towards very high performance products integrating the functionality of handheld computers with mobile communications devices."
Availability
Matsushita will offer SoC devices based on the ARM926EJ-S core in Q2 2003 and based on the ARM946E-S core in Q3 2003.
