Synopsys and Palma Ceia SemiDesign Collaborate to Develop a Complete Hardware/Software NB-IoT IP Solution
Combination of Synopsys' ARC EM Processor with Palma Ceia's Silicon-Proven RF Transceiver Facilitates LTE Cat NB2 SoC Implementations
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., and SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 25, 2019 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Palma Ceia SemiDesign (Palma Ceia) today announced that the two companies have integrated Palma Ceia's LTE Cat NB1/NB2 RF transceiver IP with Synopsys' DesignWare® ARC® EM9D Processor IP to deliver a complete low-power NB-IoT IP solution for both standalone or embedded modems. The collaboration provides designers with a ready-to-use NB-IoT solution, conforming to the latest LTE Release 14 standard.
"NB-IoT is enabling the next wave of IoT connected devices that require lower energy consumption and higher system capacity," said Kevin Walsh, vice president of strategic marketing at Palma Ceia. "By collaborating with Synopsys to deliver a complete, integrated NB-IoT solution consisting of our RF IP in Synopsys' NB-IoT platform, we are enabling the design community to accelerate the integration of NB-IoT into their SoCs with less risk."
DesignWare ARC EM9D Processor
The NB-IoT modem solution includes the ultra-low power ARC EM9D processor, which combines RISC and DSP capabilities for a flexible architecture that can be quickly adapted for rapidly changing wireless standards. The EM9D's zero-latency XY memory architecture takes advantage of instruction level parallelism and single-cycle 16+16 MAC operations to deliver power-efficient data processing. The ARC EM9D processor is supported by the MetaWare Toolkit, which includes a rich library of DSP functions, allowing software engineers to rapidly implement algorithms from standard DSP building blocks.
Palma Ceia SemiDesign LTE Release 14-Compliant RF Transceiver
The Palma Ceia LTE Cat NB1/NB2 Release 14 RF transceiver performs across all possible frequency bands for NB-IoT, including high band (1695 MHz to 2200 MHz) and low band (699 MHz to 960 MHz). The wide range of operation supports any band required for regions controlled by different network operators. Palma Ceia's RF transceiver IP is fully characterized in 40-nm processes.
"Wireless standards are evolving rapidly, driving the need for complete solutions to meet current LTE requirements while adapting to future 5G standards," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP at Synopsys. "The combination of our ARC EM9D processor with Palma Ceia's RF transceiver will enable designers to implement a complete, low-power NB-IoT solution, accelerating time to market and reducing cost and risk."
