MIPS Technologies (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
consumer, home networking, wireless, communications and business
applications, and Virage Logic Corporation (Nasdaq:VIRL), the
semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner, today announced they
are teaming to offer optimized embedded memory IP for joint
customers. With SRAM memory instances from the Virage Logic ASAP™
90nm and SiWare™ 65GP High Density SRAM compiler families
specifically optimized for MIPS32® processors, customers can speed
development of complex SoCs targeted for Blu-ray DVD, HDTV, IPTV,
set-top box and broadband customer premises equipment (CPE)
devices.
"To support the rapidly growing consumer multimedia market,
we're working with companies in the MIPS ecosystem to provide
integrated solutions that help customers get to market quickly with
greatly reduced system costs," said Art Swift, vice president of
marketing, MIPS Technologies. "As a part of this strategy, we are
pleased to team with our long-time physical IP partner Virage Logic
to offer optimized memories that help customers reach performance
levels simply not possible from other embedded CPU vendors at these
price points."
"Virage Logic is excited to work with MIPS Technologies on yet
another collaborative effort to benefit set-top box and broadband
developers," said Brani Buric, executive vice president of
marketing and sales at Virage Logic. "By integrating high speed
instances from Virage Logic's SiWare and ASAP memories with MIPS
processors, our customers can achieve a tightly-integrated,
high-performance solution that accelerates chip development, helps
manage cost, and shortens time-to-market."
The ASAP 90nm and SiWare 65GP SRAM instances were jointly
developed by MIPS Technologies and Virage Logic for the MIPS32
4KE®, 24K®, 24KE™, 34K®, 74K® and 1004K® processor core
families.
