IP/Distribution Partners
True Circuits licenses its timing IP to a large and very diverse customer base around the world. To most effectively reach these customers and provide them easy and convenient access to business and technical information about our circuit technologies and IP products, we employ a variety of advertising, publishing and distribution strategies. True Circuits is consistently one of the most prominent advertisers in the semiconductor industry’s leading publications, websites and IP portals. We also regularly publish articles and papers in leading magazines and technical journals. In addition to our True Partner Program, we also have very effective IP distribution and sales representation partnerships with other IP providers who’s product lines require high-performance and highly differentiated timing IP. By establishing these partnerships, True Circuits’ customers have a high-degree of flexibility in how they can license individual timing blocks or more integrated blocks such as DDR controllers, Hyper-transport PHYs and other high-speed interfaces.
“ARM adopted a True Circuits PLL for a 0.13um test chip that contained a core that is important to our company’s future success. We chose TCI because of its expertise in PLLs and the proven nature of its PLL designs. By going with TCI in the future, we feel we can spend more time designing our embedded cores and less time doing test chip integration work.”
Ken Reimer, Austin Design Center Manager, ARM
“Over the last nine years, ARM has used a variety of high performance PLLs from True Circuits in test and development systems to showcase the performance and flexibility of our flagship processor products. We have now extended the list of processors to include the ARM Cortex-A family of applications processors, including the scalable Cortex-A9 hard core in TSMC¹s 40nm G process. TCI’s wide range, low-jitter PLLs enable us to demonstrate the speed and functionality of ARM cores and enable our silicon and software partners to optimize and accelerate their own development on advanced Cortex-A platforms.”
Peter Hutton, VP Technology & Systems, Processor Division, ARM
