San Jose, California January 30, 2006 — PLDApplications (PLDA) today announced a contract with VMETRO for two of its digital IPs, the x8 PCIe XpressSilicon IP (which permits data transfers of up to 2.5 Gbps) and the 64-bit PCI-X 133 MHz IP. Both IPs are integrated into VMETRO's SFM Quad Serial FPDP (Front Panel Data Port) module, a product designed for point-to-point or broadcast communications between remote sensor arrays and processing systems. "PLDA's digital IP permits simultaneous high-speed data transfer and helps us obtain optimal performance," explains Jeremy Banks, Product Manager at VMETRO. "Our chosen design makes the SFM the market's highest performing Serial FPDP module."
