Digital Blocks Introduces the DB9100 BitBLT / 2D Graphics Engine Verilog IP Core Family for Accelerated Graphics Display Applications

The DB9100 BitBLT / 2D Graphics Engine IP Core accelerates graphics development for ASIC, ASSP, & FPGA design teams, while off-loading the graphics function from the main Processor and enhancing software developer productivity.

GLEN ROCK, New Jersey, July 1, 2011 – Digital Blocks, a leading developer of silicon-proven semiconductor Intellectually Property (IP) soft cores for system-on-chip (SoC) ASIC, ASSP, & FPGA developers with Embedded Processor & Peripherals, Networking, Display Controller, Display Link Layer, 2D Graphics, and Audio / Video processing requirements, today announces the DB9100 BitBLT / 2D Graphics Engine synthesizable RTL Verilog IP Core family. The DB9100 Graphics Engine IP complements Digital Blocks DB9000 family of TFT LCD Controller IP Cores providing a system-level solution to graphics display applications development centered around ASIC, ASSP, & FPGA components.

The DB9100 BitBLT Graphics Engine provides 256 Raster Operations on 3 sources of frame buffer data for Block Transfers with an array of available Bitmap & 2D Graphics operations. The high performance 2D Graphics Engine renders Line, Polygon, & Polygon Block Fills.

DB9100 Family of BitBLT Graphics & 2D Graphics IP

The DB9100 family supports the AMBA AXI4, AXI, AHB, and Avalon Bus fabrics. The AXI4, AXI, & AHB fabrics support ASIC & ASSP integrated circuit design teams. The AXI4 supports Xilinx FPGAs. The Avalon supports Altera FPGAs. The DB9100 is tuned to the unique capabilities of each fabric to maximize capability & performance. Please consult Digital Blocks web site for a more information.
