Agere Licenses ARM Processor for System-on-a-Chip Applications

Agere Systems has licensed the latest ARM11 family cores for use in its system on a chip (SoC), application- specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and application-specific standard (ASSP) products.
Agere is already a leading provider of ARM technology in its semiconductors.



The ARM11 family is based on the ARMv6 32/16-bit architecture and features the ARM TrustZone extension for improved device security and the ARM Thumb-2 instruction set enhancement for high performance, high density code. ARM11 family cores achieve high frequencies (335-550MHz) without compromising ARM's leadership in silicon area and power efficiency. http://www.agere.com/
