Configurable core chosen for consumer
devices
Taifatech has taken a licence for a configurable ARC 700 core to develop ARC-based SoCs for next-generation consumer devices.
Taifatech, a fabless semiconductor company specialising in controllers for management and connectivity through LAN or WLAN, has taken a licence for a configurable ARC 700 core to develop ARC-based SoCs for next-generation consumer devices Taifatech's pioneering design will leverage a member from ARC's patented configurable 700 CPU family to eliminate inflexible hard-wired logic and consume less power than is possible using fixed architecture processors

ARCangel 3 from ARC Cores is a new development platform supporting the latest available FPGAs.
"We wanted a configurable processor architecture that would consume the minimum amount of power while being able to simultaneously deliver high compute performance", said Oliver Szu, CEO of Taifatech.
"ARC's 700 processors achieve this goal while offering our design teams the ability to add user defined instructions to be executed in processor pipeline".
"This minimises job execution overhead and data movement for efficiency and power saving".
"All these user defined instructions are nicely supported by tool chain for application development".
Derek Meyer, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ARC, noted: "Taifatech joins the growing list of companies that have adopted ARC's patented configurable CPU cores for high-growth applications".
"Detailed at ConfigCon Taiwan at the end of February, ARC's configurable cores have generated tremendous interest from the semiconductor industry worldwide".
"We are pleased with the strong demand and look forward to working with industry leaders, such as Taifatech, and assisting their SoC development with our solutions".
