Combined ARM Velocity PHY and Northwest Logic's PCI Express IP Core
Offers Designers a Complete Hardware-Proven Solution for PCI
Express-Based SoCs CAMBRIDGE, England and BEAVERTON, Oregon,
February 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARM [(LSE:ARM);
(NASDAQ:ARMHY)] and Northwest Logic, today announced the
availability of a high-performance PCI-SIG-compliant solution that
can reduce costs and accelerate the development of PCI Express(R)
technology-based system-on-chips (SoCs). Ideal for enterprise,
desktop, mobile, communications and embedded applications, this
high-performance solution includes the ARM(R) Velocity(TM) 2.5 Gbps
serial link PHY (VSL210) physical layer (PHY) for PCI Express and
Northwest Logic's complete PCI Express Solution which includes PCI
Express Intellectual Property (IP) Cores in x1, x4 and x8 lane
configurations, Development Boards, Drivers, and Demonstration
Applications. "Validating the interoperability of the ARM Velocity
PHY and our complete PCI Express Solution helps reduce the
integration risks of SoC designs," said Brian Daellenbach,
president, Northwest Logic. "By using our combined products,
designers are offered an easy-to-implement solution and helps bring
their products to market more quickly." The silicon-proven ARM
Velocity VSL210 PHY, a member of the ARM Velocity 200 PHY series,
is fully compliant with the PCI Express Base 1.0a/1.1 specification
with PIPE (PHY Interface for PCI Express) interface. The Velocity
PHY offers exceptional jitter performance, low-power consumption,
and extensive testability within a small physical size. Northwest
Logic's PCI Express IP Cores are available in x1, x4 and x8 lane
configurations. The cores are specifically designed for ease-of-use
including built-in high-performance, multi-channel, on-demand DMA
engine, simple user interface and a complete status port.
Additionally, Northwest Logic's PCI Express Solution includes a
Verification Suite, x8 lane Development Board with the ARM Velocity
VSL210 PHY, Drivers and Demonstration Application. The combination
of the ARM Velocity PHY and Northwest Logic PCI Express provides a
robust, fully-validated, cost-effective PCI Express system
solution. This solution has been fully PCI-SIG certified to be PCI
Express 1.0a/1.1 compliant. This solution provides the tools needed
to rapidly and successfully develop and bring to market a PCI
Express SoC. "The PCI Express bus technology addresses the
increasing bandwidth demands designers encounter in next-generation
high-performance applications," said Brent Dichter, general
manager, Physical IP, ARM. "This combined PCI-SIG-compliant
solution helps assure customers that their PCI Express design goals
can be successfully achieved." Availability The ARM Velocity PHY is
