Fujitsu to Distribute Tensilica’s Diamond Standard Processor Cores

Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) has signed an agreement to distribute Tensilica’s Diamond Standard processor cores as part of Fujitsu’s ASIC intellectual property (IP) offering. All six of Tensilica’s Diamond Standard processors will be available to Fujitsu’s ASIC customers for seamless integration into new chip designs.

The processors range from a low-power 32-bit controller up to the industry’s highest performance digital signal processing (DSP) core and a multifunction audio processor that has been designed into millions of cellular phones. Under the agreement, Tensilica’s Diamond Standard processors will be available to Fujitsu’s ASIC customers via the company’s IPWare library and COT customer directly.

“Tensilica’s Diamond Standard processor family includes controllers for the entire range of design requirements, so our customers can select the version that is optimal for their ASIC and COT design,” said Jason So, senior director of COT and ASIC Business Group for Fujitsu Microelectronics America. “We are pleased to offer the processor family as part of our extensive portfolio of solutions.”
