Core to power low-cost media processor
Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics has licensed ARM7TDMI microprocessor core through the ARM Foundry Programme
Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics will use ARM core technology to develop a power-efficient, low-cost media processor for audio and imaging solutions in the consumer electronics market that will be manufactured by semiconductor manufacturing International Corp (SMIC). "The ability to combine the technical benefits of reduced die size and power consumption of the ARM7TDMI core, with SMIC's manufacturing capabilities which enable decreased time-to-market, will have a significant impact in helping us achieve our business goals", said Lei Shi, Chief Executive Officer of Shanghai Fudan Microelectronics Co.
