PnpNetwork Technologies has licensed two Diamond Standard processor cores for its digital mobile broadcasting chip designs and video-enabled handset designs.

PnpNetwork Technologies of Seoul, Korea, has licensed two Diamond Standard processor cores for its digital mobile broadcasting chip designs for mobile consumer broadcast TV applications and video-enabled handset designs.

PnpNetwork will use the Diamond Standard 330HiFi for high-quality audio processing and the Diamond Standard 212GP as a control processor for its chip designs.

"Tensilica's Diamond Standard 330HiFi core was particularly impressive for us because other market leaders have adopted it in handset designs and there's a wide range of available audio and voice codecs for that architecture", stated Benett Oh, Chief Technology Officer, PnpNetwork.

"We were also impressed with the industry-leading low power requirements of the Diamond 330HiFi and the Diamond 212GP processors".

"PnpNetwork has already demonstrated considerable success in the digital mobile broadcasting chip market, with significant design wins in Korea and China", stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica's Vice President of Marketing.

"They conducted in-depth research into all of the processor core alternatives on the market and chose Tensilica's Diamond Standard processors".
