"The reference design provides a complete solution around the ARM1136, providing designers a jump-start on their system development and allowing them to focus on the parts of their design that offer the most value".
LSI Logic's 425MHz version of the high-performance eight-stage pipeline 32bit RISC device is the fastest implementation of an ARM1136 core available today.
The core includes a 16Kbyte instruction cache, 16Kbyte data cache, 16Kbyte instruction TCM (tightly-coupled memory) and 16Kbyte data TCM.
Also included is a memory management unit (MMU) for operating systems such as Linux and 64bit instruction and data AHB interfaces that enable high-performance access to memory systems.
LSI Logic provides complete reference designs for all its processor cores, enabling customers to jump start their system development.
LSI Logic's 425MHz ARM1136J-S offering includes the industry's first ARM1136 core reference design complete with an interrupt controller, UART, GPIO, timers, internal SRAM, EBIU and APB bridge.
Delivered in RTL, the reference design provides a streamlined methodology for customers to customise, implement, and verify a custom processor subsystem for integration into a SoC.
LSI Logic reckons its CoreWare IP library provides the industry's most comprehensive set of proven IP solutions designed to work seamlessly with the standard-cell ASIC and RapidChip Platform ASIC design flows.
CoreWare IP includes GigaBlaze and HyperPHY high-speed standards-compliant serdes, high-performance ARM and MIPS processors and associated systems, licensable ZSP DSP cores, processor peripherals and Amba on-chip-bus structures, USB cores, memory PHYs and controllers, Ethernet MAC and PHY cores, PCI Express, XGXS, SPI4.2 and other protocol layer IP.
Customers can leverage CoreWare IP solutions to significantly reduce risk and turn-around times with complex SoC designs.
Additionally, a dedicated worldwide IP support organisation is available to assist customers in all aspects of CoreWare SoC design.
