VeriSilicon, a semiconductor IP provider, has licensed its ZSP G3 cores with Marvell.
The agreement includes the Dual-MAC ZSP800M and ZSP880M synthesisable DSP cores which are used in mobile and digital entertainment platforms.
“We are quite impressed with the area and power efficiency of the Dual-MAC ZSP800M core, combined with the ease of programming on the ZSP architecture,” said Ivan Lee, v-p of mobile products at Marvell Semiconductor.
Marvell is also using VeriSilicon’s Quad-MAC ZSP800 core and suite of HD-audio softwares in its ARMADA 1000 HD Media Processor SoC and the recently introduced Marvell ARMADA 1500 Media Processor SoC.
These chips are used in applications such as Blu-ray players, digital media adapters, HD-STB and HDTVs.
“VeriSilicon’s ZSP-based HD-audio and voice software solutions will provide us with faster time-to-market advantages necessary to meet the growing demands of the mobile platform solutions for use in tablets and smartphones,” said Lee.
