Amlogic Selects ARC’s SoC IP Technology For Single-Chip DVD Player Solution

[J.A.F._Doorhof]

ARC International announced that Amlogic Inc. has selected the company's System-on-Chip (SoC) IP technology to be incorporated into a highly integrated, single-chip back-end DVD player solution.

Amlogic's single-chip AML3300 combines a full function MPEG-2 decoding with progressive scan (480p), numerous dedicated and general-purpose peripherals, and an embedded 32-bit Host CPU derived from the ARCtangent-A4 synthesizable core. Amlogic also selected ARC's integrated compiler and debugger tool suite to reduce overall design risk and minimize the need for multiple IP suppliers.

"We selected ARC's development platform because of its price, performance and flexibility," said John Zhong, chairman, president and CEO of Amlogic. "ARC helped make the task of porting the software as seamless as the hardware integration effort. Ultimately, we found that ARC's documentation and technical support were superior to other third-party processor core companies, and we were not locked into a foundry-specific configuration often associated with other processor cores."

"Our development partnership with Amlogic validates the ARCtangent architecture as a leading choice for high performance multimedia applications," said Mike Gulett, president and chief executive of ARC International. "We are pleased that ARC was able to provide the most cost efficient and time-saving development platform available to differentiate the Amlogic single-chip DVD chip design."
