ALBANS, England, July 11, 2007 - Low power consumption is one of the most\nimportant considerations for system-on-chip (SoC) designers creating products\nfor next-generation electronic applications. This is a key reason why eleven\ncompanies in North America have adopted ARC International's (LSE: ARK)\nconfigurable media subsystem and processor solutions to create power-sensitive\nchips for medical, government/security, multimedia, and networking/peripheral\ndevices. See the companion announcement dated July 11, 2007 for more details on\none of these newly announced customer licensing agreements.\n\n\nARC's configurable solutions offer some of the lowest power consumption of any\nin the semiconductor intellectual property (IP) industry. For example, an \"\nout-of-the-box\" ARC(R) 750D core requires approximately half the power of an ARM\n1136 or a MIPS32 24Kc core with similar configurations. SoC designers can lower\npower consumption of an ARC 750D processor (or any other ARC processor) even\nfurther by leveraging ARC's easy-to-use configurable technology to tailor it to\nspecific application requirements.\n\n\nARC is extending its leadership in low power configurable subsystems and\nprocessors through internally led research and development (R&D) programs,\nworking in tandem with advanced computing departments at renowned universities,\nand via joint initiatives with companies such as Cadence Design Systems and\nVirage Logic. The results of these efforts will be integrated into new products\nand technologies from ARC International.\n\n\nDetails on ARC's Newly Announced Customer Engagements:\n\nMedical Applications\n\nCVRx\n\nLong battery life is a requirement for implantable medical devices, such as\nblood pressure monitoring systems. For this reason, CVRx(R) based its new Rheos\nTM Baroreflex Hypertension TherapyTM System Monitor on a low power, configurable\nARC 600 family core. CVRx is a private company located in Minnesota that has\ndeveloped proprietary technology for the treatment of high blood pressure (also\nreferred to as hypertensi...
