ARM: 21st Century Design
§ Focuses on Design & Licensing of IP Building
Blocks for SoCs (=LEGO’s)
§ Fosters an eco-system of standard pieces,
acting as COTS-on-Silicon
§ COTS-on-Silicon encourages multi-suppliers
through the eco-system
§ Allowing the eco-system the ability to deliver
cost effective solutions
§ Enforcing localized optimized end designs
§ Enabling circuit-boards to be miniaturized
- nto a single chip
§ While retaining the technology DNA of
Energy-Efficiency
