Korean design company e-MDT licenses SuperH 32-bit SH-4 CPU core
e-MDT to offer turnkey SH-4 based SoC design services and announces first development platform for developing Ubiquitous application products with KETI
San Jose, USA; Bristol, UK, Seoul, Korea and Tokyo, Japan – 23 March, 2004. SuperH, Inc., the leading supplier of multimedia RISC CPU cores, (an independent company founded by Renesas Technology Corp. and STMicroelectronics, two of the world’s top 10 semiconductor manufacturers), today announced it has expanded its worldwide licensee base to include e-MDT, a turnkey SoC design provider with centers based in the U.S., China and Korea. e-MDT has licensed the SH4-501S, a 32-bit integer RISC CPU core which it will offer with its own complementary IP library to deliver a range of SoC multimedia solutions. With its established relationship with Hynix, e-MDT will first port the SH-4 CPU core in to their 0.18um and 0.13um CMOS process in line with customer demand.
e- MDT will offer a complete range of SuperH based turnkey design services supported through its local Korean, US and Chinese centers and is able to deliver comprehensive application specific solutions.
Jean-Marie Rolland, CEO of SuperH, Inc. commented, “We are delighted to announce e-MDT as a new licensee. They are a perfect example of the new generation of design services companies and are a key element of our rapid expansion plans especially in the important Asian market.”
e- MDT engineers have already completed a rigorous training SuperH program and the first SuperH based project has been announced with KETI (Korean Electronics Technology Institute) to develop a number of leading edge development platforms. The first platform addresses the emerging market of ubiquitous computing and will offer a multiprocessor-based system, based on the SH4-501S.
“The industry standard SuperH family perfectly complements our IP library and delivers us a competitive edge in multimedia solutions,” commented Jay Jeong, CEO of e-MDT. “The project we have started with KETI already demonstrates the potential of our combined offering.”
