Physical Implementation for POP IP

Physical implementation is required to take a processor from RTL to silicon. This step ¬– optimizing power, performance, area and cost – is crucial but can be complex, time -consuming, and costly.

 

Arm POP (Processor Optimized Package) IP leverages our market-leading processor knowledge with physical IP products to deliver the most efficient and highest-performance Arm processor implementations for our licensees. This powerful, combined solution accelerates core hardening so designers can spend more time on SoC and software integration and get to market faster.
