The company, perhaps best known as a provider of electronic design automation tools, has extended its existing ARC family of embeddable processor designs with 32-bit and 64-bit ARC-V options based on the RISC-V open instruction set architecture.
"We really feel like now is the right time to enter into this marketplace, and the reason is multiple fold," senior VP of product line strategy John Koeter told us. Koeter said that to help customers, Synopsis was also making the cores available in what it calls quick flows, which are basically reference implementations.
The RHX family is a higher performance real-time processor, which it is expected will be embedded in devices for applications such as infotainment in the car, or consumer enterprise SSDs. "I will tell you two applications that we're not targeting. We're not targeting like a host processor in a datacenter, a server kind of chip or anything like that. We're also not targeting the application processor in a mobile phone, that kind of thing," Collins told us.
