***LSI Logic Announces First Silicon of the ARM9E Processor Core
With Enhanced Signal Processing
(January 20)

LSI Logic Corporation announced the availability of the first
ARM9E processor core in silicon. Using its CoreWare design
methodology, LSI Logic has integrated ARM's ARM9E core and
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM9) into an ASIC test chip, and is
now accepting ARM9E core-based designs in its G12, 0.18-micron
process technology.

The ARM9E core combines both control and digital signal
processing (DSP) capabilities in a single processor architecture,
providing an optimized processing solution for many applications.
LSI Logic offers both the ARM946E core and ARM966E core members
of the ARM9E family, which include cached and un-cached memory
subsystems, respectively. The additional ETM9 logic provides
real-time trace functionality that is essential in applications
such as hard disk drives.

LSI Logic is already engaged with customers on ARM9E core-based
designs and is targeting the solution at mass storage, digital
cellular and voice over IP (VoIP) telephony markets.
