IBM Microelectronics develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of highly scaleable 32-bit RISC embedded processors, as well as offer semiconductor and electronics packaging products, services, and solutions for customers worldwide.

As a pioneer in semiconductor technology, we offer an advanced and comprehensive family of PowerPC™, 32-bit RISC embedded processors and controllers. Built upon the scalable and flexible PowerPC architecture, IBM PowerPC microprocessors and embedded controllers offer solutions for a broad spectrum of applications, from high-end workstations, servers, and desktop computers… to hand-held communications devices and wired/wireless network hubs, routers, and switches. With performance ranging from 25 to 400 MHz, our PowerPC 400 family members are finely tuned for emerging 32-bit applications in the cost-sensitive consumer electronics and communications markets. And if raw performance is a critical decision criteria, their PowerPC 600 and 700 family members are ideal for high-end applications needing 100 to 700 MHz engines.

In addition, IBM embedded processor cores are available through the IBM Blue Logic™ Core Program to enable highly integrated system-on-a-chip devices. Components in this program are ideal for consumer and communications designs, including their up to 380 MHz PowerPC 405 core, their up to 550 MHz PowerPC 440 core, and their open, 64-bit CoreConnect™ bus architecture.

Their PowerPC Embedded Tools program includes IBM and over 90 third-party tools vendors offering extensive development tools, including compilers, debuggers, real-time operating systems, emulators, logic analyzers, and evaluation boards.
