Core to power handset imaging chip
Nethra Imaging has licensed the Diamond Standard 108Mini processor core as the main system controller for its upcoming mobile handset imaging chip design.
Nethra Imaging, a privately held developer of imaging solutions for consumer applications, has licensed the Diamond Standard 108Mini processor core as the main system controller for its upcoming mobile handset imaging chip design "We picked Tensilica's Diamond 108Mini over other processor cores because of the small code sise, small area and ease of integration into our product development environment", said Murty Bhavana, Nethra's Vice President of Marketing

Configurable processors enable latest DSL design
UpZide is to develop a reference design using multiple Xtensa LX processors from Tensilica to implement the VDSL2 standard.
"Image and video capture and processing require very high performance imaging algorithms".
"Using a Diamond 108Mini to provide a high performance processor core, our customers will have enough headroom to add their IP and provide product differentiation".
The Diamond 108Mini is a fully synthesisable low-power 32bit RISC CPU controller core.
Although the Diamond 108Mini is smaller in die area than other 32bit CPUs, its performance is extremely high.
It is capable of handling any control-plane application where minimal die area is the most important system design parameter, although advanced debugging features are supported.
"Nethra already has several design wins with large Japanese and Korean cellphone image module manufacturers, and their second-generation chips that will include our Diamond 108Mini appear to be ideally positioned for the transition to higher quality digital cameras built into cellphone handsets", stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica's Vice President of Marketing.
