IGNITE I™ Core Family
Based on a high-performance hybrid RISC/Stack 32-bit
architecture, IGNITE cores have the computing power
to meet the needs of SoC tasks.
IGNITE II™ Core Family
Ultra small and ultra low power –ideal for portable and battery-
operated applications, and for cost-sensitive consumer devices.
INFLAME I™ Processors
The INFLAME processor is an advanced array of processors,
which directly benefits from the IGNITE core’s ability to support
adaptive computing. Targeted toward consumer multimedia
applications, enabling conventional and adaptive processing
within a single unified architecture.

The three most widely used patents within the portfolio:
–US’336: Clocking CPU
and I/O Separately
–US’584: Multiple
Instruction Fetch
–US’148: On-Chip Oscillator
and Embedded Memory

US’336 is prevalent across most microprocessors from low-speed microcontrollers to sophisticated systems on chips.
Advantages include:
–Cost reduction
–Instant-on execution
–Failsafe operation, EMI reduction
–Power savings
–’336 is a modern requirement
from a design for test perspective

US’584: Multiple Instruction Fetch
–Multiple Instruction Fetch architectures are the norm
in environments where limiting power consumption
is critical.
–Various techniques can be employed to achieve the
Multiple Instruction Fetch.
–Common terms for this technology include:
•VLIW
•SIMD
•MIMD
•Superscalar

US’148: On-Chip Oscillator and Embedded Memory
–Shares the on-chip oscillator feature with US’336, in addition to memory covering more than the majority of the chip
–Includes claims pertaining to multiple CPU, array or cell implementations
–The majority of SoC and flash microcontroller products
are affected
