Reference design aids gigbit Fibre Channel
QuickLogic has released an advanced reference design kit for Fibre Channel and other high-speed serial applications.
Both devices include embedded dual-port SRAM and extended I/O support that allows the integration of several board level components into a single chip.
"With the production release of the QL8025 and QL8050, QuickLogic continues its leadership position in low-power logic solutions by demonstrating dynamic power reduction of nearly 50% over CPLDs of comparable density shipping today", said Brian Faith, QuickLogic"s Director of Logic Products.
The Eclipse II family offers multiple alternatives to FPGA, CPLD, DSP and ASIC engineers who are designing applications that demand ultralow power consumption, small-form-factor packaging, and high design security from IP theft and reverse engineering.
All these benefits are provided by QuickLogic's patented ViaLink technology.
The Eclipse II family of devices has much lower power consumption than other technologies, with dynamic power dissipation of less than 50mW at 100MHz.
Targeted applications include any battery-powered or heat-sensitive products including portable handheld products such as PDAs, barcode readers, and handheld scanners and gaming modules.
Other applications include portable medical equipment and wireless addon products.
The Eclipse II FPGA family is supported in QuickWorks version 9.6, which is available for download from the QuickLogic website.
QuickLogic offers intellectual property blocks targeted for Eclipse II FPGAs such as PCI and memory interfaces, SDRAM, DSP and other commonly used peripheral functions.
The Eclipse II FPGA family of devices starts at $3.50 in high-volume quantities.
