Flextronics Semiconductor has partnered with Magma Design Automation and eASIC Corp to provide an optimal structured ASIC solution.
Software supports structured ASIC design
eASIC has adopted two products from Golden Gate's GoPower suite.
The CAST H.264 intellectual property core operates at 150MHz performance and Nextreme provides the customer with the benefits of no mask charges, no minimum order quantity and a short turnaround time of 3-4 weeks.
Using Nextreme, customers gain lower unit cost and achieve one-tenth the power consumption of comparable FPGA solutions.
"eASIC's Nextreme technology is a great match for our H.264 encoder core", said Hal Barbour, President of CAST.
"Together they make advanced video coding practical for more designers, and achievable with less risk and lower cost".
"To meet the ever-increasing demand for high definition video applications, we have collaborated with CAST, one of our eZ-IP Alliance partners, to provide our customers with a low-cost platform to implement state-of-the-art compression algorithms", said Jasbinder Bhoot, Senior Marketing Director at eASIC.
"Our solution introduces a higher performance and lower power-consumption alternative compared with baseline profile encoders implemented using existing, more expensive approaches such as FPGAs".
A synthesisable H264/MCE core is available now in VHDL, Verilog or netlist formats.
The core is licensable by CAST and the Nextreme devices are offered by eASIC.
