ARM Cores Offering

Through the ARM Foundry Program, GLOBALFOUNDRIES has licensed the ARM7TDMI® core and the ARM946E^TM core, two of the most popular 32-bit RISC ARM® microprocessors, on processes ranging from 0.25 micron to 90 nanometer.

Additionally, the ARM cores will be used as part of GLOBALFOUNDRIES's development and qualification vehicles. By doing so, the ARM cores will be silicon-validated on technologies from GLOBALFOUNDRIES ahead of customer engagement. Customers benefit from higher probability of success in SoC design and faster time-to-market.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES has already been manufacturing ARM core-based design on various technology nodes for multiple customers with a full implementation ARM license. Through the program, customers without a full ARM license can now access GLOBALFOUNDRIES's proven manufacturing processes for embedded core designs.

Additional ARM cores are available through GLOBALFOUNDRIES's design service partner, Socle. As a licensed ATAP, Socle provides hardened ARM cores optimized for performance, power and density. With some of the highest performance cores available in each geometry, Socle's ARM offering can also be reconfigured for different cache and peripheral options.
