Cores licensed for
wireline access processors
Infineon Technologies has taken a licence for the ARC 700 configurable processor core with ARC XY Advanced DSP technology for use in its next-generation wireline access products
An ARC licensee since 2001, Infineon will use the high-performance ARC 700 core to simultaneously perform the functions of host and applications processing in a single processor, thereby reducing the system's overall design complexity and silicon cost. At up to 405MHz in a 0.13 micron process, the configured versions of the ARC 700 configurable core family consume as little as 0.72mm2 of silicon die area.

The processors' range of configurable options allows customers to select only the features they need and extend the core with custom instructions to optimise the design to the end application.
The ARC 700 core family features a high-performance architecture that offers a 16 and 32bit instruction set, a large number of pipeline stages and optimised development tools that speed ARC-based designs' time-to-market parameters.
'For years, ARC's configurable processor technology has been one of the key enabling technologies in our broadband access product line', said Ulrich Huewels, Vice President of System Engineering, Wireline Access Business Unit at Infineon Technologies.
'ARC's open architecture can be easily combined with our application-specific IP, which enhances our competitive differentiation in the wireline access market'.
'The ARC 700 processor family is enabling an increasing number of industry leaders to leverage the benefits of configurable technology in applications that demand high computational performance and low cost', said Derek Meyer, Vice President of Marketing at ARC International.
'These are some of the reasons why long-time customers such as Infineon are extending the use of our products for use in high-volume market applications'.
