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.
Features and Benefits
The development of Arm Physical and POP IP has yielded proven results for partners worldwide with benefits that include:
Developed through a tightly coupled collaboration across Arm engineering in an iterative process, Arm Physical IP and implementation identifies the optimal performance and energy results for Arm cores.
Leveraging Artisan physical IP, Arm POP IP addresses implementing challenges of new cores at advanced process nodes to guide the designers quickly through their implementation.
