Silicon Demonstrations Begin October 22 at the Network Processor Conference
in San Jose, California
SAN JOSE, California - Network Processor Conference - True
Circuits, Inc. (TCI), a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal
intellectual property (IP) for the semiconductor, systems industries and
electronics industries, today announced that NEC Electronics Corporation has
implemented a TCI clock generator PLL in a new SPI-4.2 interface hard macro
fabricated in NEC's 130nm process technology. This NEC hard macro and
embedded DRAM solution will be demonstrated on actual silicon at the Network
Processor Conference on October 22nd in NEC Electronics' booth #315.
"We selected True Circuits' clock generator PLL for this high-speed
communications application because of its small size, wide frequency range
and superior low-jitter performance," said Hideya Horikawa, Senior Design
Engineering Manager, NEC Electronics America. "The performance of the TCI
PLL will enable our ASIC customers to successfully implement multiple
SPI-4.2 macros in their high-end telecommunication ASICs and help meet the
tight jitter and power budgets required for 10 Gbps SONET/SDH systems."
"Our clock generator PLL hard macros are very flexible, have wide frequency
and multiplication ranges, and produce optimal jitter performance over all
multiplication settings," noted Dr. John G. Maneatis, President of True
Circuits. "These design characteristics were particularly important for this
high-speed interface application and we are proud to bring this timing
flexibility and performance to NEC Electronics and their many ASIC
customers."
