For TSMC 28HPM process technology and the path for POP IP to TSMC's 16nm FinFET
ARM has released the POP IP products for its ARMv8 architecture-based Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 processors.
The products are available for TSMC 28HPM process technology and will make way for POP IP to TSMC's 16nm FinFET process technology.
According to the company, the POP technology allows ARM partners to quickly close timing of dual- and quad-core implementations in a broad envelope of power, performance and area optimisation points.
The application is expected to increase implementation, reduces risk and improves time-to-market in the development of Cortex processor-based system-on-chips (SoCs), the company claims.
POP IP products are claimed to support ARMs products on 28HPM, including the Cortex-A7, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15 processors and the ARM Mali-T624 GPU up to the Mali-T678 GPU.
ARM Physical IP Division marketing vice president John Heinlein said that the company is currently enabling its lead partners on Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 processor implementations with POP IP and physical IP platforms.
"Only ARM can offer a complete roadmap of POP IP core-hardening acceleration solutions so deeply integrated and tightly aligned with ARM processor development activities now and into the future," Heinlein added.
