processor cores provides an unparalleled price/performance advantage

for a wide range of embedded applications. The unique architecture is a

blend of the best stack- and register-based designs with 8-bit

instructions for enhanced performance and optimal code size.

The IGNITE architectural philosophy is to provide the simplest solution

while best utilizing existing resources. This typically means fewer

transistors, translating into lower power consumption. The low gate

count results in significantly lower manufacturing costs.

Designed with system OEMs and semiconductor manufacturers in mind,

the IGNITE family of cores is perfectly suited for those who want to

rapidly integrate their own custom logic and peripherals with a low-cost,

low-power, high-performance RISC processor. Due to the ease of

integration and portability, manufacturers are able to dedicate more

attention to end-user products.

The design is available in VHDL and Verilog formats as a synthesizable

net list, and can be procured through flexible licensing arrangements.
