Collaboration provides access to innovative IP
for high-performance SoC designs
ARM and SMIC (NYSE:SMI; SEHK:981), China’s largest and most
advanced semiconductor foundry, today announced an agreement to
offer the ARM® Artisan® physical IP platform for SMIC’s 28nm poly
SiON (PS) process to provide high-performance, high-density and
low-power technologies for SoC designs.
Under the agreement, ARM will provide a comprehensive physical
IP platform for advanced process technology that supports a wide
range of consumer applications targeting the fast-growing
smartphone, tablet, wireless and digital home markets.
“SMIC is pleased to offer access to the popular ARM Artisan
standard cells and next-generation memory compilers,” said Dr.
Tianshen Tang, senior vice president of SMIC’s Design Service
Center. “Strengthening our collaboration with ARM enables optimized
implementation of cost- and power-sensitive SoCs for our
customers.”
“ARM Artisan standard cells and memory compilers deliver the
features, quality and rigorous silicon validation that customers
demand to achieve fast time-to-market,” said Dipesh Patel,
executive vice president and general manager, Physical Design
Group, ARM. “Extending our collaboration with SMIC on the 28nm PS
process demonstrates ARM’s commitment to provide the best SoC
implementations at leading foundries.”
ARM Physical IP Platform
The ARM Artisan physical IP platform for SMIC’s 28nm poly SiON
(PS) process provides the building blocks to implement a wide range
of performance and area optimized, low-power SoCs designs. ARM’s
silicon-proven IP platform offers a comprehensive set of memory
compilers, standard cells and logic, and general-purpose interface
products that meet the most demanding performance and power
requirements for mobile communications and computing.
ARM’s standard cell libraries and memory compilers incorporate
multi-channel and mixed Vt features to enable a wide performance
and power spectrum taking advantage of the performance and power
range of SMIC’s leading-edge poly SiON process. These features
ensure that power budgets for performance-critical SoC designs can
be met.
