To address the broader range of power, performance and area (PPA) demands of embedded applications, Synopsys, Inc. announced it has expanded its DesignWare® ARC® Processor IP portfolio with new 128-bit ARC VPX2 and 256-bit ARC VPX3 DSP Processors. Based on the same VLIW/SIMD architecture as the company's higher performance 512-bit ARC VPX5 DSP processor, the new additions deliver up to two-thirds lower power and area. The ARC VPX DSP IP family now provides greater flexibility for designers to optimize their designs based on the unique power, performance and area (PPA) requirements of embedded workloads such as IoT sensor fusion, radar and LiDAR processing, engine control, voice/speech recognition, natural language processing and other edge AI applications. Availability: The Synopsys DesignWare ARC VPX2 and VPX3 DSP Processor IP is scheduled to be available to lead customers in calendar Fourth Quarter 2021; and The Synopsys DesignWare ARC VPX2FS and VPX3FS Processor IP is scheduled to be available to lead customers in calendar First Quarter 2022.
