picoChip was founded in 2000 to provide solutions to the challenges of the next generation of wireless systems: cost, development time and flexibility. To do this requires a team with world leading expertise in silicon design, software and systems, and picoChip has built this team in Bath in the UK, China and the USA.
The technology at the heart of picoChip is the picoArray, an array of fully-programmable processing elements which is optimized for high-performance signal processing, deliverying ten-times better performance-per-Dollar than legacy systems, in an easy to program way. picoChip provides a full development environment for picoArray including a complete tool-chain, libraries and Software Reference Designs which are complete, conformance-tested implementations of major wireless communications standards.
picoChip's architecture is ideally suited to the new challenges of the wireless market: combining flexibility, ease of development and cost-efficiency for the most demanding air-interfaces.
