Infinite Technology's RADcore(TM) Achieves TSMC's Three-Star IP Partner Status
RICHARDSON, Texas, March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite Technology
Corporation (Pink Sheets: ITCJ) (ITC) announced its RADcore technology has
achieved a three-star status having successfully been ``Verified for
Functionality'' in the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 0.25
um CMOS process technology. The inclusion of RADcore Technology in TSMC's catalog of third party
intellectual property providers is an important marketing tool for ITC,
placing its company among the industry-leading Intellectual Property (IP)
companies and within a global alliance of qualified IC design implementation
experts.
TSMC's IP Alliance represents the cream of the IP industry.
Now
designers choosing RADcore Technology for their high-performance datapath
solution can be assured the best possible design experience, easiest design
reuse and the fastest integration into the overall system design. ``We expect that many of the customer design teams who utilize RADcore
Technology will develop consumer oriented products that require ever higher
levels of performance.
Applications requiring enhanced Digital Signal
Processing like those found in 3rd generation (3G) wireless communications,
video streaming and multimedia Internet access personal devices are natural
targets for application tuned DSP cores based on RADcore Technology,'' said
Robert L. Veal, ITC Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
Further, Veal
said, ``Single-chip implementation is required to ensure these types of
products are deployed with a consumer market cost sensitivity.
Verifying that
these SoC designs work right the first time is critical.
Now, design teams
can work through the TSMC IP Alliance facilities to verify and manufacture
their SoC designs integrating ITC's RADcore DSP-based cores as well as other
reusable IP cores.'' RADcore Technology allows system designers to configure DSP coprocessors
for specific applications using pre-existing physical libraries, thus
providing designers with the added benefit of collapsing the physical design
cycle time for DSP cores from months to days.
A RADcore coprocessor includes
a quad multiply-accumulate (MAC) architecture designed on TSMC's 0.25-micron
CMOS process and will achieve typical operating speeds of 350 MHz at 2.5 V and
can enable up to 1.4 billion 17x17 MAC operations per second. ``The TSMC Design Services Alliance brings the leaders of required IC
design resources (EDA, IP, library providers, and third-party design centers)
together to create a robust team to address customer needs from beginning to
completion of any IC design cycle,'' said Peyman Kazemkhani, Director of the IP
Program at TSMC North America.
``We therefore welcome the inclusion of the ITC
RADcore Technology for DSP coprocessor cores as a Three Star Partner for our
IP Alliance portfolio.'' About Infinite Technology Corporation Infinite Technology Corporation, based in Richardson, Texas, is the
