Overview

IGMTLSV04A is a synchronous LVT / ULVT periphery high-density ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). It is developed with TSMC 12nm 0.8V/1.8V CMOS LOGIC FinFET Compact Process. Different combinations of words and bits could be used to generate the most desirable configurations.
Given the desired size and timing constraints, the IGMTLSV04A compiler is capable of providing suitable synchronous TCAM instances models within minutes. It is capable of automatically generating data sheets, Verilog behavioral simulation models, Place & Route (P & R) models, and test patterns for use in ASIC designs. The duty cycle length could be neglected as long as setup/hold times and minimum high/low pulse widths requirements are satisfied. This allows a more flexible clock falling edge during each operation.

Implementing Ultra Low Latency Data Center Services with Programmable Logic

Data centers require many low-level network services to implement high-level applications. Key-Value Store (KVS) is a critical service that associates values with keys and allows machines to share these associations over a network. Most existing KVS systems run in software and scale out by running parallel processes on multiple microprocessor cores to increase throughput.

Generating High Speed CSI2 Video by an FPGA

In this article, we show how fast video streams conforming to MIPI CSI2 rev2.0 over MIPI DPHY rev1.2 can be generated, using VLSI Plus’ SVTPlus-CSI2-F IP core, with simple off-FPGA analog front-end. The high bit rates can be achieved with a relatively slow FPGA clock frequency, trading off FPGA resources for simple timing closure.

Rigorous Framework for Hardware-Software Co-design of Embedded Systems

When implementing new embedded applications, industrial companies are facing new challenges: these applications are very complex to program (between 5 and 10 million lines of code are common) and require handling of several possibly heterogeneous models and languages. Integration choices are wide-ranging, from functions hard-coded in hardware IP to embedded software for multi-core clusters. Additionally integration must take into account at the same time several kinds of constraints: processing power, memories, power budget limitation, etc.
