NEC Electronics America Distributes Xtensa

“The Xtensa processors are a welcome addition to NEC Electronics America’s ASIC IP library. Their customization capabilities make them ideal replacements for blocks of logic that previously would be handcrafted in Verilog or VHDL. By using processors instead of logic blocks, our customers will benefit from the inherent programmability, reduced verification time and much faster design times,” said Phillip LoPresti, associate vice president and general manager, custom LSI strategic business unit, NEC Electronics America.
