High-Performance, Mid-Range, and Ultra-Low Power RISC-V Processor IP

Synopsys ARC-V Processor IP™ is based on the open standard RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA), extending the current ARC portfolio and giving customers access to the growing RISC-V ecosystem. Built on the success of multiple generations of ARC processor IP covering a broad range of processor implementations, including functional safety (FS) versions, the ARC-V portfolio delivers what you need to optimize and differentiate your SoC.

To accelerate software development, the ARC-V processors are supported by the trusted Synopsys MetaWare Development Toolkit. In addition, Synopsys’ extensive portfolio of EDA tools provide an out-of-the-box development and verification environment to help design and fully verify RISC-V-based SoCs.
