Toshiba Licenses ARM1176JZF-S Microprocessor

Toshiba Corporation and ARM today announced that Toshiba has licensed the ARM1176JZF-STM processor. Toshiba will use the processor to develop SoCs for advanced digital consumer electronics products and mobile phones, with the first SoCs introduced around the end of 2006.

The ARM1176JZF-S processor, which is capable of performance in excess of 550 MHz in current 90nm process technologies, features a vector floating-point unit that accelerates 3D graphics, and is the first to incorporate ARM TrustZone security technology, which prevents unauthorized access to personal information and other sensitive data stored in the built-in memory.

The ARM1176JZF-S processor also utilizes ARM Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM) technology, which reduces power consumption by dynamically adjusting clock frequency and supplied voltage according to the processing requirements of the software running on it.
