TOSHIBA LICENSES ARM946E-S CORE FOR TELECOM AND NETWORK PRODUCTS.Toshiba Corporation (company) Toshiba Corporation - A Japanese technology manufacturer with 364 subsidiaries worldwide. Toshiba makes and sells electronics for home, office, industry and health care including information and communication systems, electronic components, heavy electrical apparatus, and ARM ((LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)), the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. microprocessor technology, have announced that Toshiba has licensed the ARM946E-S core. This license will enable Toshiba to reinforce its presence in the embedded market Refers to custom-designed, computer-based devices and applications that perform a fixed set of tasks. It may refer to cellphones and other handhelds, network appliances (routers, access points, modems) and myriad consumer electronics products. and to extend its intellectual property (IP) offering, which includes the previously licensed ARM7TDMI(R) core. The ARM946E-S solution is a core macrocell, operating at 150 to 200MHz (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. and offering flexible cache. Toshiba will combine this functionality with its industry-leading capabilities in embedded technology for logic and DRAM products. Toshiba will integrate the ARM(R) core and DRAM in a complete system-on-chip (SoC) solution for applications including third-generation wireless telecommunication systems. "This license will allow us to offer a wide product line-up covering diversifying customer needs," said Shigeru Komatsu, general manager of the Telecom and Network Division at Toshiba's Semiconductor Company. "The telecom market in Europe is growing fast, and the industry needs SoC solutions. We can draw on our leadership in embedded technology to develop and promote totally integrated solutions." Toshiba has also licensed the ARM Embedded Trace Macrocell solution (ETM (database) ETM - An active DBMS from the University of Karlsruhe. 9) for advanced system-on-chip (SoC) debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. . The ETM9 will enable Toshiba to quickly and cost-effectively debug their ARM946E-S core-based solutions. "Toshiba has a strong presence as a semiconductor supplier to the telecommunications and networking markets. Their licensing of the ARM946E-S solution is a clear indication that the ARM architecture is truly scaleable, enabling complete SoC solutions that meet a broad range of customer needs," said Reynette Au, vice president of Worldwide Marketing for ARM. "The combination of Toshiba's market-leading embedded logic and DRAM products and ARM's industry-proven microprocessor and debug technology will deliver innovative solutions to the embedded market." |
