XMOS Semiconductor, the creator of Software Defined Silicon (SDS) today announced it is to show its first working silicon and Beta design tools at this year’s ESC Silicon Valley Exhibition on April 15. A completely new class of programmable semiconductor, SDS will provide consumer product applications with low cost, flexible programmability.
Built using a small array of event driven, multi-threaded ‘XCore’ processor tiles offering 400MIPs performance, the XMOS chips support multiple real-time functions and allow programmers to implement anything from simple I/O interfaces through to complete software applications. To ensure a rapid design cycle, the software flow is C-based and will be supported by an IP module library.

XMOS Semiconductor will demonstrate its first working silicon on Booth 3034 in a range of consumer product applications, including LCD backlighting, data encryption/decryption and video networking. The demonstrations will show how true product differentiation can be achieved at a low cost and in a short time scale.
