PowerPC(TM) 476FP and high-speed embedded DRAM cores achieve high
performance at lower power MILPITAS, Calif., Jan. 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today
announced the addition of the multicore-capable PowerPC 476
microprocessor core and high-speed, embedded DRAM memory blocks to
its industry-leading portfolio of custom silicon intellectual
property (IP). The new processor core and memory blocks are
designed to accelerate the development of leading-edge networking
and storage SoCs used in high-performance applications such as
enterprise-class switches, routers, RAID storage, servers and base
stations. Custom multicore integrated circuits allow OEMs to
develop highly differentiated, high-performance solutions for
compute-intensive applications. The new PowerPC 476FP offering from
LSI, available on the TSMC 40G process, operates at clock speeds in
excess of 1.4 GHz, delivering 2.5 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz. The new
embedded DRAM block operates at up to 500 MHz, which is essential
for real-time video processing and high-bandwidth networking
applications. "Next-generation networking and storage
infrastructures need highly integrated SoCs to meet ever-increasing
market demands," said Sudhakar Sabada, senior vice president and
general manager, Custom Silicon Division, LSI. "With a rich
portfolio of silicon-proven IP and a robust design flow, LSI helps
customers predictably build application-optimized SoCs that allow
them to differentiate in the marketplace." LSI minimizes custom IC
development cost and risk by providing OEMs with a broad,
field-proven IP portfolio that includes general- and
special-purpose processors, protocol cores, a gigabit Ethernet PHY,
high-speed serializer-deserializers (SerDes) and embedded memory.
All embedded LSI processors are supported by an industry ecosystem
of software that includes development tools and operating systems.
The 500 MHz embedded DRAM core, licensed from TSMC, is the third
generation of eDRAM IP available from LSI. It joins an extensive
lineup of embedded DRAM IP blocks available from LSI for custom IC
development. The PPC476 and embedded DRAM design kits are available
now for integration into 40nm custom silicon solutions. For
