Broadband gateway processor uses two ARMs
Mindspeed Technologies has used two ARM1136J-S processors in its Comcerto 100 series of broadband gateway processors.
The ARM926EJ processor is based on a 32bit RISC CPU running a 16bit fixed point DSP instruction set, which enhances the performance of many signal processing algorithms and applications.
In addition, the processor supports Jazelle technology which enables devices to execute Java byte code directly.
The solution enables wireless and internet device developers to build in the capability to run high-performance Java technology applications much faster, with limited power and cost penalties The ARM926EJ processor supports operating systems including Symbian OS, Windows CE and Linux, which makes it an ideal choice for communications and multimedia applications.
The ARM926EJ processor is a single chip MCU, DSP and Java solution that can greatly benefit engineers by reducing development costs and shortening cycle time.
"ARM is the preferred architecture for wireless and consumer electronics platform".
"The ARM926EJ processor can provide advantages of low power, high performance and low cost", said Yan-Hui Yang, Vice President of DMT.
"Moreover, the integrated DSP and Jazelle technology have significant benefits in consumer electronics, particularly wireless and multimedia applications".
"ARM is committed to enabling Chinese companies to reduce time-to-market by building designs on the ARM architecture, leveraging the benefits from the ARM Connected Community, which is made up of leading foundry, EDA, design service, OS and tools companies", said Dr Jun Tan, President of ARM China.
"We believe this agreement will enable DMT to accelerate its development of advanced communications and consumer solutions for China market".
DMT licensed the ARM946E processor in September 2003 for its wireless applications.
This partnership has enabled ARM powered products to be commercially produced in the first half of 2005.
This new licensing extension will empower DMT to further enhance its R and D capability and products to meet the various demands of the consumer market.
