"R-Interface LDPC IPs have been designed to optimised silicon resources by keeping very high level of performance".
"It's a proven technology backed by extensive testing and successful deployment in the field", says Nicolas Fau, CEO at R-Interface.
"Our IP cores are designed with R-Interface's deep experience in complex communication systems and FPGA/ASIC design flow", adds Guy Lecurieux Lafayette, CMO at R-Interface.
"That allows our customers to deliver optimised, reliable and high performance solutions with reduced time to market".
The first member of the LDPC family is fully compliant with the widely adopted WiMAX Mobile (802.16e) standard.
Thanks to its modular processing module (PM) approach and its advanced memory management, it can achieve leading-edge performance, with up to 1Gbit/s possible in the smallest possible gates count.
The LDPC IP core is available as VHDL source code or FPGA netlist, with full documentation, user guide, test benches and SystemC models.
"We welcome the collaboration with R-Interface through our Alliance Programme", says Mark Quartermain, Wireless Baseband Marketing Manager for the Processing Solutions Group at Xilinx.
"R-Interface's experience in wireless communication systems allowed them to create a set of compelling LDPC solutions optimised for Xilinx high performance Virtex-5 and low-cost Spartan-3 FPGA families, allowing customers to easily exploit the advantages of LDPC in their products".
