Teridian Semiconductor licenses ColdFire architecture from Ipextreme

Teridian Semiconductor has licensed Freescale's V2 ColdFireR SPP IP core through IPextreme. Teridian selected the V2 ColdFire core after evaluating several processor cores for use in the company's power metering solutions.

"We found the V2 ColdFire core to offer the best balance between cost and performance for large scale smart metering applications requiring integrated communications capabilities," said Kourosh Boutorabi, vice president and general manager of metering products at Teridian Semiconductor.

Teridian Semiconductor designs sells mixed-signal integrated circuits used in energy, automation, networking, and secure access systems.
