OTTAWA -- Cogency Semiconductor Inc. here today announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with ARM Ltd. of Cambridge, England. Under the terms, Cogency will use ARM's line of RISC-based processor cores for its home-networking chip line, said Ron Glibbery, president and CEO of the Ottawa-based company. Cogency is using ARM's ARM7TDMI embedded microprocessor core to develop an integrated circuit that will provide a high-speed solution for home networking over an AC powerline. Cogency's chips are compliant with the recently released HomePlug Powerline Alliance's 1.0 specification. "With an ARM core, we have the flexibility to implement a firmware-based approach that can be easily customized to accommodate new customer applications," said Keith Riley, vice president of engineering for Cogency.
