Socle Technology Corp, One of the World's Leading-Edge Providers of SoC Design, is First Member of ARM's IP Portfolio Program Which Enables Fabless Design Houses to Exploit the Widest Range of ARM Technology as Part of a Full Turnkey Service
CAMBRIDGE, England, November 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM ((LSE:
ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)) today announced the ARM IP Portfolio Program, an
innovative business and engagement model for companies offering custom ASIC
design services. The initiative provides access to a comprehensive range of
ARM(R) IP and an opportunity for closer cooperation on new business
opportunities. ARM also announced that Socle Technology Corporation, a
leading system-on-chip (SoC) design service and solution provider in Taiwan,
is the first member of the new program and will offer the service worldwide.
Under the terms of the ARM IP Portfolio Program, selected companies can
license a package of ARM technology (including processor, graphics, fabric &
physical IP), which can be applied according to customer requirements.
Immediate access accelerates time to market and provides the flexibility to
adapt as requirements change from initial design through to manufacture.
Compatibility between fully optimized ARM technologies also reduces risk and
increases the likelihood of creating a competitive and compelling final
solution.
The first member of the program, Socle Technology Corporation, has
licensed the ARM11(TM) processor family, the Mali(TM)-200 and Mali-55 cores
for advanced 3D consumer graphics, CoreSight(TM) technology for advanced
debug and trace capability and a full range of configurable AMBA(R)
PrimeCell(R) peripherals (including interconnect, dynamic and static memory
controllers, DMA controllers, and Level 2 Cache Controllers). Each item of IP
also includes ARM support and maintenance as a condition of the license.
'At Socle, we are committed to working closely together with other
industry leaders to deliver high-quality, low-power, energy-efficient
solutions to our customer base,' said David Lyou, president and CEO, Socle
Technology Corporation.
