NEC Electronics is the latest ARM Partner to license the ARM1176JZF-S™ processor, CoreSight™ technology and the PrimeCell® Level-2 Cache Controller for integration into advanced mobile devices.

NEC Electronics will strengthen audio security features for its mobile devices and will deliver a system LSI for high-end mobile phones, such as TV phones, requiring video processing capabilities. The company will be able to develop SoC without encountering bus bottlenecks as the ARM1176JZF-S processor and Level-2 Cache Controller are compliant with ARM AMBA® 3 AXI™ technology.

The ARM1176JZF-S processor is optimized for 3D graphics through its integrated, floating-point processor and supports ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (IEMâ„¢) technology which, when used with Artisan® low-power library, can reduce processor energy consumption by up to 60 percent. This enables it to run rich and demanding applications without latency or battery life penalties.Â

Using ARM Jazelle® technology, the ARM1176JZF-S processor is optimized for efficient embedded Java execution. In addition, the ARM PrimeCell Level-2 Cache Controller solution incorporates TrustZone® technology, delivering a portable security solution compatible with different operating systems. CoreSight technology, which provides a complete debug and trace solution for system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, will enable NEC Electronics to accelerate the time-to-market of complex SoC designs.
