Shanghai, China – 18 April 2012 - Brite Semiconductor (Shanghai) Corporation ("Brite Semiconductor"), a world-leading IC design and turn-key service provider today announced that its new SoC integration platform, Briliante, is unveiled to customers for fast and reliable RTL delivery. Based on customers’ target specification, Brite can complete the RTL design for synthesis, including automatically generated test bench for verification, within 1~3 days depending on the architectural complexity. Besides, this versatile platform eliminates the risk from manual connection and programming through simple and parameterized configuration.
Briliante can integrate ARM® CortexTM-M0, Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 processor-based MCUs with various digital peripherals through ARM AMBA AHB and APB standard bus interfaces. The number of each peripheral can be configured to achieve desired features, which include embedded flash interface, SRAM, I2C, UART, SPI, Timer, WDT, PWM&CAP, GPIO, etc. In order to provide complete solution, Brite also customizes analog IP (ADC, POR, LDO, ROSC, etc) in 0.18um and 0.13um technologies based on the requirement of the whole chip.
“We are glad to provide our customers this new integration platform to reduce the design cycle and risks,” said Dr. Charlie Zhi, President and CEO, Brite Semiconductor. "Briliante is not only a tool for flexible architecture integration, it is also a complete SoC solution with corresponding IP customization service and verification systems. We believe our customers will be satisfied with our efficient and reliable delivery via this platform".
“Increasingly, the new generation of embedded applications, such as smart energy, automotive, white goods, medical, touch screens and the Internet of Things, demand higher levels of intelligence and connectivity,” said Allen Wu, China president, ARM. "This requires processor technology that is ultra energy efficient, and that is why the ARM Cortex-M processor family is established as the leading solution for the microcontroller market. The innovative Briliante platform from Brite is based on this ARM technology, and enables customers to address these high-growth market segments in a significantly faster time to market."
