Fusion Design platform enables first-pass silicon for Armv9-based SoCs
Multiple SoC tape-outs at early adopters of the Arm Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 CPUs based on Arm’s Armv9 architecture, Arm Mali-G710 GPUs and Arm DynamIQ Shared Unit-110, have been announced. They were achieved using Synopsys’ EDA and IP, including Fusion Design Verification Continuum and DesignWare Interface IP.
Nordic introduces first PMIC for tight spaces
Nordic Semiconductor’s first power management device is the nPM1100, a power management integrated circuit (PMIC). It combines a USB compatible Li-ion/Li-Po battery charger and DC/DC buck regulator in a compact WLCSP for space-constrained applications.
Mali GPUs complement Armv9 CPUs
To complement a raft of Arm v9 CPUs, Arm has introduced GPUs for the architecture. The highest performing GPU, the Mali-G710 targets premium smartphones and Chromebooks, with 20 per cent performance improvements for compute intensive experiences, such as AAA high-fidelity gaming.
