Tensilica, Inc., is the leader in customizable dataplane processors for System-on-Chip (SOC) designs.
Dataplane Processor Units (DPUs) consist of performance intensive DSP (audio, video, imaging, and baseband signal processing) and embedded RISC processing functions (security, networking, and deeply embedded control). DPUs are employed throughout the chip:
The automated design tools behind all of Tensilica’s application specific processor cores enable rapid customization to meet specific dataplane performance targets.
Tensilica’s DSPs and processors power top tier semiconductor companies, innovative start-ups, and system OEMs for high-volume products including mobile phones, consumer electronics devices (including portable media players, digital TV, and broadband set top boxes), computers, and storage, networking and communications equipment.
Our product line includes:
We give you the option to use our processor cores for functions that used to be hard coded in RTL, but now need the programmability of a processor-based solution. You can even use our direct port (GPIO) and queue (FIFO) interfaces that bypass the system bus for RTL-like data transfer speeds.
Base Architecture and Cool Technology
In this section, you'll read about the architecture behind all of these products - Tensilica's efficient, low-power Xtensa architecture. You also can read about the complete software tool chain, third party ecosystem, EDA flows, and models available with every Tensilica processor.
Configurable and Extensible to Match Your Application
You can configure Tensilica's Xtensa processors to match your application. And you can take it one step further by extending the processor, using our Verilog-like TIE language, to add custom instructions that can give you orders of magnitude performance increases.
