ARM, Artisan Components, National Semiconductor, Synopsys and UMC are collaborating to deliver a comprehensive energy-efficient system-on-chip technology demonstrator for the ARM926EJ-S processor.

ARM, Artisan Components, National Semiconductor, Synopsys and UMC today announced that the five companies are collaborating to deliver a comprehensive low-power, energy-efficient system-on-chip (SoC) technology demonstrator for the ARM926EJ-S processor The "Ultra" technology demonstrator for the ARM926EJ-S processor is being implemented in UMC's 130e Fusion process, a 130-nanometer (nm) process platform designed for the integration of high-speed and low-leakage transistors in a single CMOS process

The Ultra technology demonstrator name stands for UMC Low-power Technology Reference using the ARM926EJ-S processor.

Lowering power is one of the greatest challenges facing the IC industry today.

Each of the five companies in this collaboration has demonstrated technologies that contribute substantial power savings.
