Embedded TX System RISC Processor Core for System-on-Chip (SoC)

摘要

Toshiba has launched the TX19, TX39, TX49, and TX79 series 32/64-bit processor family on the market since 1995 employing MISP-based reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture. We are also currently developing the TX99 high-end processor. These processors are available as intellectual property for application-specific IC (ASIC) design methodology and are implemented in Toshiba standard processors or customized system-on-chips (SoCs). Their speeds cover the range from 40 MHz to 1 GHz with instruction set upward compatibility. Recently, these processors have been used for digital audio/video processing functions in devices such as the media embedded processor (MeP) in a single chip, providing system control functions for various multimedia LSIs.
