Popular FPGA Line Acquires Hyper Transport IP Cores

Developed for use with the company’s Virtex-II Platform FPGAs, HyperTransport single-ended slave intellectual property (IP) cores provide designers of networking and storage systems with an off-the-shelf solution to their new designs. The new cores can be used in applications such as a four-port HyperTransport switch, packet processing, and high-end SSL security content processing by interfacing the cores with third-party network processors. The HyperTransport offerings include an 800-Mb/s, single-ended slave core and reference designs for the configurable address decode, configuration status register logic, and a reset module. The single-ended core is available under the terms of the SignOnce IP license and is downloadable via the company’s website. Site license price for the HyperTransport core is $25,000.
