Synopsys ARC Options
ARC Processors Everywhere
Industry's best performance efficiency for embedded
Extend Functionality with ARC Licensable Options
Synopsys offers a portfolio of separately licensable options that enable Synopsys ARC® processors to be optimized for a specific application or to add more processing capabilities. ARC processors are supported by a range of licensable options including floating point, security, automotive safety, memory protection, mathematical functions, debug and system integration, enabling designers to meet the unique requirements of their application.
ARC processors are optimized to deliver the best PPA efficiency in the industry for embedded SoCs.
- Harvard architecture for higher performance through simultaneous instruction and data memory access
- High-speed pipeline designed for maximum power efficiency
- 32-bit RISC engine offers a mixed 16-bit/32-bit instruction set for greater code density
ARC processors are highly configurable, allowing designers to optimize the performance, power, and area of each processor instance on their SoC.
- Add or omit hardware features to optimize the core for your target application - no wasted gates
- The ARChitect wizard enables drag-and-drop configuration of the core
ARC Processor EXtension (APEX) technology enables users to customize their processor implementation.
- Add user-defined instructions to accelerate software execution and reduce code size, reducing energy consumption and memory requirements
- Tightly couple memories and peripherals to the processors to eliminate the need for additional bus infrastructure, reducing area and latency and increasing system-level performance
