Silicon Interfaces announces the release of its new SI85SCC30-A Serial Communication Controller IP

CAMPBELL, Calif. -- July 27, 2007 -- Silicon Interfaces, a high-end design services and leading provider for IPs in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, under their IP Development Program - Silicon Cores: Core to the Intelligent Systems™, today announced the availability of SI85SCC30-A Serial Communication Controller IP. The IP is the latest addition to the portfolio of Silicon Interfaces IPs.

Silicon Interfaces SI85SCC30-A Serial Communication Controller (SCC) is a versatile full-duplex, dual-channel multi-protocol data communication peripheral, with triple-buffered Receiver and double buffered Transmitter. SI85SCC30-A is a refined and upgraded version of its predecessor, SI85SCC30. This SCC is a VHDL-based soft IP, which can be targeted to either Gate Arrays or Cell-based ASICs.

This self contained SCC macro is designed to be incorporated either as a stand-alone ASIC or as a part of System On Chip (SOC), for insertion into an ASIC design.

Product Specifications:

• Application: Supports virtually any Serial Data Transfer protocol
• Modes: Asynchronous, Isochronous, Monosynchronous, Bisynchronous, External         Synchronous, SDLC and SDLC Loop
• Core: Fully synthesizable Register Transfer Level (RTL) VHDL
• Test Environment: Reusable VHDL with Back-to-back SCCs
• Targeted FPGA: Xilinx Virtex-4
• Clock Frequency: Guaranteed to work up to 50 MHz
