Intrinsity Inc. this week signed an agreement with the System LSI division of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd to develop high performance, low power processors using its 1-of-N Domino Logic technology.

According to Bob Russo, Intrinsity CEO, Fast14 technology has been developed to deliver both significantly higher operating frequencies with lower power consumption compared to conventional synthesized static logic technologies.

Fast14 technology combines 1-of-N Domino Logic (NDL), custom and semicustom static logic, high-speed memory technology, specialized low-power design techniques and a design automation platform to deliver the best available combination of speed, power and silicon area.

Additionally, since Fast14 technology integrates seamlessly with conventional design styles, highly sophisticated SoCs (systems-on-a chip) can be rapidly built to serve a broad array of market needs at optimized performance/power operating points.

Intrinsity's proprietary Fast14 technology is used to create FastCore embedded cores, which provide not only circuit speeds of up to and beyond 3 GHz, but also the means to trade-off speed, power and area to achieve the optimal solution to customer design targets.

Intrinsity's Russo said Fast14 technology includes a combination of process specific libraries, circuit technologies, specification languages and a set of tools that help automate the design flow.
