Sunplus takes MIPS
route to miniaturisation
Sunplus Technology Co has taken a license for a range of 32bit cores from MIPS Technologies, including the MIPS32 4KEc and 4Kp processor cores and SoC-it system controller
By transitioning to the MIPS architecture, Sunplus is ensuring its customers benefit from the extensive support software and third-party applications that are enabled by an industry-standard architecture. Sunplus is the largest consumer IC design company in Taiwan. The company intends to use its MIPS licence to develop an array of consumer electronics devices that will service the growing consumer electronics markets, where DVD/VCD/S-VCD players are emerging as the standards for home entertainment platforms.
