Compact core joins structured ASIC line
ChipX has taken a licence for the ARC 605 core for use in its structured ASIC products.
In an agreement that brings the power of ARC's patented configurable CPU technology to an emerging high-growth market, ChipX has taken a licence for the ARC 605 core for use in its structured ASIC products ChipX will use the ARC 605 core to create new, customer-specific structured ASICs with an on-chip processor core

Board supports soft-processor-based SoC designs
ARCangel 3 from ARC Cores is a new development platform supporting the latest available FPGAs.
ChipX, a pioneer in the rapidly growing structured ASIC market, offers high speed and low power silicon solutions without the manufacturing times or risks normally associated with traditional ASICs.
ChipX has completed more than 1500 structured ASIC designs, and has products shipping to the communications, computer peripheral, consumer, industrial, military and aerospace markets.
The configurable ARC 605 processor core is the world's smallest, lowest power 32bit core.
The ultrasmall size of the core will give ChipX the ability to add an on-chip processor to many new structured ASICs with minimal die size impact.
This ARC-based solution will provide their customers with increased capability on a single chip, reducing time-to-market and eliminating the need for multi-chip alternatives.
"An increasing number of our customers require on-chip processors in their structured ASICs", said Elie Massabki, Vice President of Marketing for ChipX.
"By offering the ARC 605 core with our existing and next-generation solutions, we will be able to provide customers with a low-power way to build cost effective SoCs and SideChips - in conjunction with the benefits of structured ASICs".
"As the smallest and lowest power 32bit core available for licence, the ARC 605 is ideally suited to meet the needs of the structured ASIC market", said Derek Meyer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for ARC International.
"Our ChipX relationship will bring structured ASIC customers a new level of price/performance/power and meet the needs of many next-generation applications".
