LSI Logic Delivers the Industry's First ARM966E-S(TM) Synthesized Core To Reach 200MHz
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 26 -- LSI Logic Corporation
(NYSE: LSI) today announced the availability of the industry's first
synthesized ARM® processor core to reach 200MHz. The ARM966E-S(TM) solution
extends LSI Logic's broad library of CoreWare® products and supports the
popular AMBA(TM) 2.0 AHB bus specification. The ARM966E-S core is targeted
toward communication applications that need highly deterministic control and
digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities, which include mass storage,
next-generation digital cellular phones, and networking applications. ``LSI Logic is proud that we are the first to reach 200MHz with the
ARM966E-S core because it seamlessly extends our ARM portfolio, and is a
significant addition to our library of synthesized CoreWare macrocells,'' said
Rafi Kedem, director of ARM CoreWare Marketing, LSI Logic. ``The speed increase
and enhanced signal processing capabilities enable us to target an even wider
range of high-volume applications while maintaining low power consumption,
high performance and small die size.'' Based on the ARM9E-S(TM) core, the ARM966E-S solution is ideally suited
for complex deterministic systems because the code size can fit into the
tightly coupled instruction memory, leveraging the high-efficiency of the
Thumb® instruction set, while utilizing its DSP capabilities. This allows a
designer to concentrate on the application specific areas of their system
while minimizing redesign efforts as memory requirements change. Utilizing its Harvard memory architecture with its tightly coupled 0-wait
state Instruction and Data memories, the ARM966E-S solution maximizes its
performance with reduced power and area properties. The ARM966E-S solution is available now and is offered on LSI Logic's
G12(TM) 0.18 micron drawn CMOS technology. For additional information on LSI
