The SC1200 and SC1400 are 16-bit fixed-point synthesizable DSP cores available for license from StarCore LLC. The SC1400 core architecture is based on the original SC140 core introduced by StarCore in April 1999. The SC1200 is a scaled-down version of the SC1400, containing two multiply-accumulate units instead of four as found in the SC1400. In other respects, the SC1200 and SC1400 are quite similar, and the two processors use the same instruction set.

The SC1400 targets a wide range of telecommunication applications, including 3G wireless and network infrastructure. The SC1200 targets applications that demand moderate performance and require lower cost or lower power consumption, such as 2G and 2.5G cellular telephones.
