AD Technology Adopts Configurable ARC(R) 750D Core to Enable High Speed Internet and Data to Millions of Homes in Korea.ELSTREE, England -- ARC International This article is about the publicly traded processor company. For the privately held French housewares company of the same name, see ARC International (household). (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :ARK) today announced that AD Technology has taken a license for the configurable ARC([R]) 750D core with associated voice codecs to create the company's new Power Line Communications (PLC) system-on-chip (SoC). AD Technology's ARC-Based([TM]) PLC will be provide Internet, phone and other communications services via Korea's electric power grid to tens of millions of homes throughout the country under a contract awarded by the Korean government. This announcement is part of a series of new licensing agreements with semiconductor companies throughout Asia made today by ARC International. See companion news release dated March 28, 2007 for more details. "Power line communication is not easy to realize because it requires intensive integer computing and signal processing See DSP. ," said Jun Suk SUK Sveriges Unga Katoliker (Swedens Young Catholics) Kim, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AD Technology. "Our PLCs must enable senders to modulate data signals on top of noisy alternating current, and receivers to decode that data at each node. We chose ARC's configurable processor over other IP vendors because its smaller silicon area, lower power consumption, and higher performance better enables our design team to create a chip that can handle the demanding computing requirements of power line communications." Derek Meyer, senior vice president of sales and marketing at ARC International, said, "The selection by AD Technology is a significant win for ARC by a leader in Korea's burgeoning semiconductor industry, and another recognition by a high-growth company of the benefits ARC's configurable solutions offer compared to competitive products. The potential PLC technology holds for Korea is enormous, and we are hopeful that our solution will enable AD Technology to realize the potential of this high volume market throughout Asia." About Power Line Communications In December 2004 Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy (MOCIE MOCIE Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (South Korea) ) announced that it would invest approximately 500 billion won over five years to foster communications and information technology distribution over the country's electric power grid. MOCIE also announced that it expected commercialization of broadband PLC by the beginning of 2007. To date field tests have been performed in close to 1,500 households, and 24 Mbps and 50 Mbps PLC systems already have been developed. PLC systems are also being deployed in other Asian countries, including China. The Configurable ARC([R]) 750D Core At 533 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , power consumption of 0.16 mW/MHz and a die size of 1.23mm2, the ARC 750D core is a best-in-class configurable processor core for embedded processing applications that demand high performance. Its MMU-based memory subsystem is ideal for complex system-on-chips (SoCs) running Linux or other high-end operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . The configurable 750D core is a complete processor solution for networking applications, home entertainment systems, portable devices such as smart phones and PDAs, automotive telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the systems, and many other information-based products. All of ARC's cores are created with ARChitect([TM]) - ARC's revolutionary patented configuration tool. ARChitect's GUI-based development environment offers SoC designers a simple drag-and-drop menu from which they can select from up to 20,000+ pre-configured options or create custom instruction extensions that are optimized to the ARCompact([TM]) ISA (1) (Instruction Set Architecture) See instruction set. (2) (Interactive Services Association) See Internet Alliance. (3) (Internet Security and Acceleration) See .NET. . In minutes, customers can use ARChitect to create a highly differentiated, proprietary ARC-Based([TM]) processor that consumes less power and has fewer transistor gates than is possible using a "fixed architecture" alternative. About ARC International plc ARC International is the world leader in configurable subsystems and CPU/DSP processors that are used by semiconductor companies worldwide to create system-on-chip (SoC) designs that provide a strategic competitive advantage. ARC's patented configurable products are smaller, consume less power, are less expensive to manufacture, and provide a higher degree of differentiation over what can be created using "fixed architecture" core alternatives. ARC International maintains a worldwide presence with corporate and research and development offices in California and Elstree, UK. For more information visit www.ARC.com.
