Xelic Announces Family of SONET/SDH Transport Processor Cores for Integration into FPGA or ASIC Networking Applications

Rochester, NY -- February 7, 2006 --  Xelic, Inc., a leading provider of Networking Intellectual Property  and Engineering Design Services today announced the immediate availability of their Family of SONET/SDH Transport Processor Cores for product integration.  

Xelic Transport Processor cores are available for OC-3 (XCS3F), OC-12 (XCS12F), OC-48 (XCS48F), OC-192 (XCS192F), and OC-768 (XCS768F) data rates. The SONET/SDH Transport Processor Cores perform section and line overhead processing, align incoming SONET/SDH frames and provide overhead interpretation with error detection and performance monitoring. The cores contain independent transmit and receive processors with optional dedicated external ports for overhead insertion and extraction. A generic register interface is implemented for access and configuration of internal memory mapped locations.

“The Xelic family of SONET/SDH Transport Processor Cores is an integral part of our flexible product offering to provide stand alone functionality and configurable integration with other cores for functions such as SONET/SDH framers with pointer processing targeted for networking applications.” said Doug Bush, Director of IP Development at Xelic.  

Xelic cores are developed using a modular architecture allowing customers to choose only the functions required for their system application; this yields increased flexibility in the partitioning of the overall system.  

Cores are available from Xelic under a variety of flexible licensing terms and come complete with full documentation and a comprehensive suite of self-checking tests. Core customization and integration services are also available.
