Product Description

Overview
With more than 500 employees and an annual revenue of 159 million USD in 2004, Faraday is the largest fabless turnkey ASIC service company in the world. Providing the most comprehensive IP portfolio and the most competent SoC design services for over 10 years, Faraday has already completed more than 1000 successful designs and helps customers ship hundreds of million chips.

ARM Core-based Design Service
Faraday and ARM have established a strong alliance since 2001. As one of ARM’s valued Approved Design Centers, Faraday offers customers the extensive experience in SoC & multi-million gates design integration based on three major ARM cores: the ARM7TDMI®, the ARM922T™, and the ARM946E™ cores. Our design expertise and service include:
· Three levels of SoC design and implementation methodology
- Specification Sign-off
- RTL Sign-off
- Netlist Sign-off
· Abundant digital and analog IP blocks
· Fit-to-Foundry advanced cell library
· P&R, Layout, and Post-simulation
· SoC chip testing and debugging
· Evaluation board and FPGA development
· Embedded software development

StarCell™ PERIPHERAL IPs
Faraday's StarCell is a collection of silicon-proven and reusable IPs developed to facilitate the rapid growing SoC designs. Compliant with the AMBA bus standard, StarCell IPs are very easily integrated in any ARM core-based design. Using StarCell, designers can concentrate on the system integration and leave the task of peripheral development to Faraday.

StarCell provides widely used IPs in generic SoC designs. Current StarCell portfolio includes: Static Memory Controller, SDRAM Controller, DMA Controller, PCI-to-AHB Bridge, UART, Timer, Watchdog Timer, Real-time Clock, CF Host Controller, SD Host Controller, Keyboard/Mouse Controller, Synchronous Serial Port, GPIO, PCI 33/66, USB1.1 Controller/PHY, USB2.0 Controller/PHY, Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY, Bluetooth Baseband, etc.

Platform Solution
Faraday’s platform is capable of shortening customers’ system-level integration design cycle by offering ARM cores, pre-verification peripheral blocks, simulation models, evaluation board, and reference software. Customers are able to differentiate their products by building application-specific IPs based on Faraday’s platform. It ensures both fast time-to-market and flexibility.
