Provides a low-power, cost-effective
solution for location-based IoT applications
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), and Galileo
Satellite Navigation, Ltd. (GSN), a developer of multi-system
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) products, today announced
that the software-based GNSS global positioning system (GPS)
receiver from Galileo Satellite Navigation is now available for the
Cadence® Tensilica® Fusion F1 DSP.
The software-based GNSS receiver allows customers to easily add
full GPS functionality with design flexibility and long-term
upgradeability at a minimal cost, low power, and no physical size
to today’s cost-sensitive IoT applications. To get the lowest
possible power, GSN accelerated the performance of its GPS software
receiver by creating several custom instructions to run on the
Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP. As a result, the GPS software requires
less than 110MHz for full 12-satellite functionality. Additionally,
with this software-based solution, customers can reduce the overall
processor requirements to meet less-demanding location-based use
cases like asset tracking.
“The Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP delivers outstanding performance
for the implementation of our GNSS receivers, providing a low-power
footprint required for IoT applications. This enables customers to
easily upgrade their Fusion F1 DSP-based designs to future
satellite systems such as Beidou, GLONASS and Galileo via
software,” said Eli Ariel, CEO at GSN. “By leveraging several
customized instructions in the Fusion F1 DSP, we were able to keep
the required processor speed at the same frequency compared to DSPs
with more than 3X the processing power.”
“GSN's software-based approach for GNSS allows our Fusion F1 DSP
customers to precisely scale their GNSS receiver requirements to
meet their applications needs,” said Gerard Andrews, group director
marketing, at Cadence. “The availability of GSN's technology on
this low-power DSP platform allows our customers to add
location-based services at minimal cost and power.”
The Tensilica Fusion F1 DSP offers low-energy, high-performance
control and signal processing for a broad segment of IoT/wearable
markets. This highly configurable architecture is specifically
designed to excel at always-on processing that requires a merged
controller plus DSP, ultra-low energy and a small footprint. The
DSP is very efficient in running the narrowband wireless
communications standards typically associated with IoT device
communications, including protocols such as Bluetooth Low Energy,
Thread and Zigbee using IEEE 802.15.4, Wi-Fi 802.11n and
802.11ah, and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). For more

The solution is scheduled to be demonstrated at the Cadence
booth in hall 6, stand 6L34, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
from February 26 to March 1, 2018.
