Infineon Technologies AG And ARM Holdings plc Announce Strategic Architectural License Agreement For Advanced Security Applications
Infineon Technologies AG and ARM Holdings plc announced a long-term strategic collaboration in the field of security controllers (MCU) for chip card and security applications. Based on the agreement, Infineon will receive an ARMv6M and ARMv7M architecture license. With its own specialized ARM architecture-compliant CPU cores, Infineon will address the current and future needs of the security markets in terms of hardware-based security, combined with the advantages of most widely licensed 32-bit CPU technology. Under this agreement, Infineon is able to integrate its innovative security measures into the heart of the CPU core implementation, while maintaining compatibility with the standard ARM processor instruction set. This approach enables code reuse and access to the wide ARM development ecosystem. Infineon aims to have the first products in volume production by the second half of 2011, initially targeting the Multimedia SIM cards market. In addition, Infineon will combine the ARM architecture and its Integrity Guard hardware security technology, designed for use in highly demanding chip card-based and security applications, in future products for high-end security segments.
