XEMICS and DSP Group Unveil CoolTeakLite Ultra Low-Power DSP Core Operating At 1.2 Volts     Neuchâtel, Switzerland and Mountain View, CA February 22, 1999       Two Companies' Combination of DSP Core and Low-Power Cell Library Technologies Offers Major Advantages Over All Other Low-Power Application IC Design Solutions Santa-Clara, California / Neuchatel, Switzerland - February 22, 1999 Combining their respective, state-of-the art technologies, Xemics and DSP Group, Inc. announced today the availability of their silicon-proven DSP Core operating at 1.2 Volts, with a ultra-low current consumption. The new development chip is based on DSP Group's 16-bit fixed-point TeakLite™ Core, which Xemics has licensed. XEMICS will now offer the newly named ''CoolTeakLite™ '' as an embedded part in its low-power, low-voltage IC product line, while DSP Group will license CoolTeakLite in order for end-users to implement a full, low-power design solution for developing CoolTeakLite applications. DSP Group will license TeakLite architecture as an IP product in combination with the low-power cell library that will be licensed from Xemics. The CoolTeakLite core represents a major advance in DSP core technology by reducing power consumption levels more than any other available market solution. According to Remy Pache, vice president of business development at Xemics, ''After having successfully tested at 1.2V in a standard 0.25 micron CMOS process, we will now produce low-power, low-voltage audio processing and communications products around CoolTeakLite, as well as license our low-power cell library to equipment manufacturers.'' ''By combining the core competencies of both companies - DSP Group's low-power cores and Xemics' low-power cell libraries - the global DSP core marketplace is now provided with a superior solution for the development of low-power applications,'' added Issachar Ohana, Director, DSP Core Licensing at DSP Group. TeakLite is a 16-bit fixed-point general-purpose DSP core. It is an ideal solution for low-power, speech and audio processing, wireless communication, modems, advanced telecommunication systems, disk drive controllers and various embedded control applications. The TeakLite DSP Core is binary code compatible with the industry standard OakDSPCore®. In order to meet various application requirements, the core has an improved set of digital signal processing and general microprocessor functions. The core is designed in a single edge clocking system which allow the use of full or partial scan testing methodologies. The core supports Emulation, Debugging and Testing via JTAG.
