Intrinsix AMBA SoC Platform for Mixed Signal System-on-Chip Design   AppNote #2: Handheld Security Device Platform & Sample Design

Overview

The Intrinsix AMBA SoC platform is a full computing platform which forms the processing core of a System-on-Chip IC.  It is well suited for high integration, low power applications, and can be extended to include custom digital and analog processing for a target application. The platform is supplied with Intrinsix designed and proven IP.  However any AHB/APB compliant peripheral (e.g. ARM prime cell) can easily be integrated into the design.  Customer or Intrinsix designed Application Specific Logic can also be integrated into the platform.  Read more about the AMBA SoC Platform at www.intrinsix.com
