(Microprocessor)/peripheral-function building blocks speed system-design tasks. (LSI Logic Corp.

LSI Logic Corp's Coreware library of microprocessor and peripheral functions supports fast design of complex application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC). The library includes 16- and 32-bit microprocessors, floating-point processors and peripheral functions; it provides familiar 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor cores for creating custom designs by tailoring cache and peripherals to meet the needs of specific applications. The first version of the library includes embedded SPARC and MIPS microprocessor cores and a 1750A 16-bit processor core; 32- and 64-bit arithm
