CPU chip aids ARM-based SoC design
Faraday Technology Corp has announced the FPGACompanion (FC) CPU chip, targeted at system companies who need a full-featured ARM CPU chip that can easily be interfaced to various FPGA devices.
Customers can easily adopt high performance or low power ARM compliant cores from Faraday in their SoC designs.
Faraday offers a range of synthesisable and hardened ARM v4 and v5 TE compliant cores in its FA CPU family product line.
At the high performance end, an 800MHz version is offered in 90nm process with Thumb instruction set and DSP extension capability.
On the low power end, a comparable version of the ARM core implemented in 130nm technology and running at 180MHz dissipates power only at the rate of 0.06mW/MHz.
ASIC customers can also find plenty of experienced SoC development support from Faraday.
The A320/A360 series of development system from Faraday allow ASIC customers to begin application development very early on in the design cycle using the same processors and peripheral blocks that will be integrated into the SoC thereby minimising overall project risk and maximising implementation first time success.
"Our OmniRadio SoC ASIC has 25 total IP blocks and more than 2 million random logic gates", says Greg Veintimilla, Vice President of Engineering at Radioframe Networks.
"Faraday offers a proven SoC design methodology and infrastructure built around their ARM processor cores".
"This allows Radioframe to focus on implementing and validating our application".
"We understand the needs of our systems customers such as Radioframe Networks", comments Dr George Hwang, Vice President of International Business of Faraday Technology Corporation.
"Faraday has honed in on a set of methodologies and intellectual properties that will allow our systems customers to focus on what they do best, their system-level applications".
"Our proven design flow has resulted in over 3000 successful designs along with more than 100 million ASIC chips shipped annually worldwide since 1993".
"We work hard to help our customers successfully compete in their market space".
