Tensilica, Inc. is dedicated to helping its customers successfully to use its processor cores in its SOC designs. Its processor cores are often used in places engineering teams haven't considered using processors before - as a matter of fact, the company specialized in the hardest data-intensive applications. There are so many applications for Tensilica's processors that its customers have helped to become the fastest growing semiconductor IP supplier in 2008, according to the Gartner Group. The company makes some of the fastest, lowest power 32-bit RISC microprocessor cores on the market. Its Diamond Standard family of controllers uses its core technology to excel at control plane tasks. Tensilica is the recognized leader in customizable dataplane processors. 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). The automated design tools behind all of Tensilica's application-specific processor cores enable rapid customization to meet specific data-plane performance targets. Tensilica's 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.
