Meta LTP & MTP SoC Embedded Processors


With the increasing complexity of electronics products – and the software within them - ready access to key software components is critical in reducing development costs and achieving on-time product delivery. Imagination offer a broad spectrum of software for their range of Meta processors including a range of Operating Systems, market proven Audio Codecs, and pre-ported application-specific Libraries.

Imagination offer both single and multi-threaded processors for the embedded market, as part of their Meta LTP SoC Embedded Controller and Meta MTP SoC Embedded Processor families. The synthesizable 32-bit embedded processors deliver high performance combined with low power consumption and low system cost.

Meta processors are used by some of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, who together have shipped in excess of one hundred million processors since launch.

  • Multi-threaded processor core (MTP)
  • 16-bit instruction set support
  • Co-processor interface
  • Optional floating point unit (FPU)
  • Non-invasive debugging via JTAG
  • Real-time and application code without interactions (MTP)
  • Unified core replaces multiple CPU and DSP cores
  • Each virtual processor (thread) can run an independent OS
  • Mature Toolchain
  • Lower cost than multi-processor approach
  • Scalable performance – add more threads
