ARC International is the world leader in configurable processor technology. ARC licenses patented configurable CPU/DSP processors and multimedia subsystems that enable customers to design products that give them a strategic competitive advantage in the marketplace. Using ARC's configurable cores and subsystems, licensees can develop highly differentiated ARC-BasedT system-on-chips (SoCs) that consume less power, are less expensive to produce and provide protection from cloning - distinct advantages over non-configurable, "fixed architecture" alternatives.
The roots of ARC International date back to the early 1990's. As part of Argonaut, a software provider to leading game companies, the design team developed highly customized microprocessors. That technology and know-how to rapidly create customized designs evolved into configurable processors and eventually the ARChitectT configurator tool.
Today, ARC's broad product portfolio is used by 120+ customers that collectively ship close to 100 million ARC-Based chips every year to high-growth embedded markets. They include wireless computing applications, mobile audio and video players, flash storage devices, digital set-top boxes, networking appliances, electronic toys and educational games, and government satellites.
